ABSTRACT:
A single actuator unit is installed in an aircraft, for example, a helicopter, and is coupled to the control linkage from the pilot's stick to perform the functions of series actuation, trim actuation, artificial feel, control position sensing, control limits and, if needed, force boost. Although the device performs as a series actuator, it is installed in and connected to the vehicle surface control linkages in the conventional parallel actuator manner and therefore greatly simplifies control system installation and reduces problems associated with control rod vibration resonances normally encountered with series actuator installations.
