How pilots fly the Boeing 737 MAX.

Modern aerospace engineering increasingly relies on the seamless integration of advanced performance modelling with state‐of‐the‐art flight control systems. These systems optimise aerodynamic ...

Imagine the increased confidence among pilots if airplane controls seamlessly blended their intuition with next-generation technology. BAE Systems is innovating flight critical control systems that ...

Simplifying flight—to make it as easy as getting into a car with automatic transmission—has long eluded the aerospace engineers creating new aircraft. While we’ve relied on flight controls such as ...

NASA and partner Lockheed Martin are evaluating a newly discovered flight-control problem with the agency’s X-59 supersonic demonstrator jet, and have moved the aircraft back inside for evaluation.

Aircraft Environmental Control Systems (ECS) are integral to modern aviation, ensuring passenger comfort and maintaining the operational integrity of avionics and other on-board equipment. These ...

Emerging electromechanical actuation technologies for flight control systems will support more electric architecture. Credit: Collins Aerospace With a new age of electrically driven advanced air ...

Airbus ordered fixes on a large number of A320-family aircraft after discovering that intense solar radiation can corrupt data essential to flight-control systems. The recall may cause travel ...

DARPA has awarded a contract to Aurora Flight Sciences to build a full-scale aircraft called the X-65. It will test a new technology that replaces moving control surfaces with Active Flow Control (AFC ...

Due to their hover and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities, helicopters possess distinct advantages over fixed-wing aircraft. Able to operate in tight spaces, isolated areas, and places, ...
