Flight Controls
With more than 30 years of experience – and an installed base of 15,000 aircraft – we’re a market leader in the design, development, and production of Flight Control Systems (FCS) for commercial aircraft. We were the first to introduce Fly-By-Wire (FBW) in civil applications with the Airbus 310 aircraft.
Our Flight Control Portfolio
Primary Flight Control (Fly-By-Wire "FBW") Secondary/Slats and Flaps (High Lift) Flight Controls and Monitoring
Actuator Control Electronics
Remote Electronics Units
Rudder and Yaw Control
Stabilizer Control and Monitoring
Spoiler Control Electronics and Monitoring
Active Inceptor Systems
Supported Aircraft
Airbus: A320 Boeing: 737, 747, 767, 777, and 747-8 (in production)
Bombardier: CRJ and CSeries
Embraer: Legacy 400/500 and KC-390 (in development)
Mitsubishi: MRJ

Primary Flight Control Computers
We're proud to offer a portfolio of stick-to-surface flight control avionics designed with performance and safety in mind.
Capabilities
The Primary Flight Control Computers (FCC) – sometimes referred to as Primary Flight Control Electronics (FCE) – are located in the aircraft electronic equipment (EE-Bay)
Normally three FCCs are installed on an airplane
The FCC computes and transmits all normal mode primary flight control surface actuator commands (rudder, elevators, ailerons, flaperons, and horizontal stabilizer as well as the multi-functional spoilers and ground spoilers) to control and maintain normal flight for use by the Actuator Control Electronics (ACE)
FCCs are designed to provide full flight functions
The FCC performs pre-flight functions to verify the electronics dispatch integrity as well as ground maintenance functions
Data Interface Capabilities
ARINC gateways Data concentration and distribution
Flight data acquisition

Active Control Sidesticks
Our Active Control Sidesticks (ACS) – also called Active Inceptor Systems (AIS) – provide pilots with the tactile cues they want, giving them the ultimate in situational awareness and control while flying the aircraft.
Capabilities
Enables the future integration of flight control functions Utilizes position sensing and smart actuation (rather than springs and dampers, as in a
passive stick or inceptor) to change forces felt by the pilot in real time
Force feedback can be used to provide cues, warn of mode engagements or impending flight envelop limits
The associated gradients and stops are fully programmable in real time
The variable feel can also cater for a wide pilot range
Benefits
Ability to link controls across the cockpit so that each pilot can feel the forces and see the displacements generated by each other
Offers significant weight and volume savings over mechanical controls

Slat & Flap Electronic Control Units
Slat & Flap Electronic Control Units (SFECU) are also referred to as High Lift or Secondary Flight Controls. These units limit take-off and landing speeds by increasing wing high lift.
Capabilities
The SFECU is installed in the equipment bays in the body of the aircraft The SFECU controls the slats and flaps (on the wings) that are utilized during take-
offs and landings
The primary purpose of the slats and flaps is to make the area of the wing bigger, thus enabling the aircraft to fly slower
The slats and flaps do not make the aircraft fly slower, they increase lift which enables the pilot to control the speed
The slats and flaps are extended and retracted, whereas the spoilers are raised and lowered

Actuator Control Electronics
Actuator Control Electronics (ACE) are part of the flight-critical and essential Fly-By-Wire (FBW) system. Actuators have one purpose – they move something. They may rotate an object, open or close a device, or push a surface up or down, but they always put something into motion.
Capabilities
The Actuator Control Electronics are located in the aircraft electronic equipment bay (EE-Bay)
ACEs either directly control or indirectly control (via Remote Electronics Units) the aircraft’s primary flight-critical surface (rudder, elevators, ailerons, flaperons, and horizontal stabilizers) as well as the multi-functional spoilers and ground spoilers to control and maintain normal flight
The ACEs work in conjunction with the Primary Flight Control Computers (FCCs) to provide all aspects of normal flight control modes and handling qualities
Back to top
Remote Electronics Units
Remote Electronics Units (REU) are distributed electronics that reside close to or are mounted on the actuator to provide local control of the actuator. The REU receives commands and processes incoming and outgoing signals for the functions necessary to control the actuators.
Capabilities
Each REU controls two hydraulic actuators and one electro-mechanical channel; in the event of a flight control computer failure, the REUs take over primary control of the aircraft surfaces
The REUs area a dual lane, control-monitor design that ensures integrity of the actuator command
Based on the platform flight control architecture, there are up to 11 REUs per aircraft
REUs weigh approximately four pounds and have been designed for non-pressurized in-wing applications
