Zusammenfassung:Aircraft fly-by-wire systems and related vehicle electrical systems are provided. In one embodiment, an electrical system suitable for use with a control surface of a vehicle, such as an aircraft, is provided. The electrical system includes an asynchronous intermodule bus arrangement, a first vehicle control module, and a second vehicle control module. Each vehicle control module includes a respective interface arrangement to obtain and exchange data from different sensing arrangements with a first frequency, and a respective processing system to obtain the sensed data and determine actuator commands based on the sensed data with a lower frequency.
