Distributed flight control surface actuation system

Distributed flight control surface actuation system

An aircraft flight control surface actuation system (110) includes a plurality of flap actuators (112), and a plurality of slat actuators (114). The actuators receive actuator position commands from an actuator control unit (124) and, in response, move flaps (102) and slats (104) between stowed and...

Zusammenfassung:An aircraft flight control surface actuation system (110) includes a plurality of flap actuators (112), and a plurality of slat actuators (114). The actuators receive actuator position commands from an actuator control unit (124) and, in response, move flaps (102) and slats (104) between stowed and deployed positions. The flight control surface actuator control unit (124) includes a plurality of independent actuator control channels. One or more of the independent actuator control channels (126-1, 126-2, 126-3, 126-4, 126-5) is coupled to both a flap actuator (112) and a slat actuator (114), and is configured to selectively supply the actuator position commands thereto.
