ABSTRACT:
A redundant, multi-channel fly-by-wire control system for use in an aircraft is disclosed. The system includes a left flight control channel (60), a center flight control channel (80) and a right flight control channel (90). Each control channel is capable of flying the aircraft in the event the other two channels fail. Included within each control channel is an actuator controller electronics unit (ACE (62, 82, 92)), which transmits a series of pilot control transducer signals to a set of primary flight computers (64, 84, and 94). The primary flight computers combine the pilot control transducer signals with data obtained from an air data and inertial reference unit (145) to generate a set of flight surface commands. Each ACE selects a set of flight surface commands to control the movement of a set of flight control surfaces on the aircraft.
