Heavier-than-air flight control systems evolved from simple weight shifting to complex fly-by-wire, driven by the need to manage increasing aircraft speed, weight, and pilot workload. Aircraft ...

The "principle of trim" states that an airplane seeks its trimmed indicated airspeed, which is fundamental to pitch stability, control, and predicting its response to changes in power or configuration ...

Skyryse Inc., the developer of a flight control system with artificial intelligence features, today announced that it has closed a funding round worth more than $300 million. The Series C deal was led ...

Aircraft performance and flight control systems together determine an aeroplane’s ability to fly safely, efficiently and accurately along a desired trajectory. Performance considerations encompass ...

US investigators have determined that an Embraer 175 pitch-trim switch, inadvertently fitted upside-down, resulted in the crew’s experienced a serious flight-control incident on departure from Atlanta ...

Norwegian investigators have identified a fault in a pitch-trim servo circuit which might explain the unexpected pitch-up of a Sikorsky S-92 just before it fatally crashed during a North Sea ...
