scope:
This specificasfon delineates the operational needs and general parameters for a physical product family identified as Flight Control Systems(FCS) for piloted aerospace vehicles. Flight control systems are described to include all elements used to transmit flight control commands from the pilot and other sources to selected force and moment producers. Flight control commands may result in control of the air vehicle's flight path, flight trajectory. attitude, angle of attack, angle of sideslip airspeed. aerodynamic configuration, and response characteristics. Elements included are the pilots' controls, displays and logic switching, transducers, system dynamic and air data sensors, signal computation, test devices, transmission devices, actuators. uninterruptible power, and signal transmission lines dedicated to the flight contsol system. Excluded art aerodynamic surfaces; surface attachments, hinges, pins and cranks; engines; fire control devices; crew displays and instrumentation. Interfaces of flight control systems with related air vehicle subsystems are defined. Verification provisions are included.
intended Use:
The flight control systems are intended to be used in piloted air vehicles.
