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 ...

Lockheed Martin's famous-yet-secret Skunk Works is conducting live flight tests of its Smart Adaptive Flight Control Environment (SAFE) autonomous AI system on the X-62A. The system can be ...

The Boeing 737 MAX is one of the most popular aircraft ever built, but it has significant differences from other aircraft currently on sale. It's extremely analog in comparison to contemporary ...

Autonomy is no longer science fiction. Advanced flight control systems that augment pilot decisions with artificial intelligence and machine learning are moving into mainstream avionics. These systems ...

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.

In an aviation milestone, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation (PiAC) successfully conducted the first flight of its innovative proof of concept tilt-duct Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded System Demonstration ...

Piloting a cruise-capable eVTOL aircraft will be unlike flying anything that's come before it, thanks to fully digital fly-by-wire flight control systems. We jumped in Lilium's motion-rig simulator to ...

The first unmanned aircraft control station has been fitted in a US Navy (USN) aircraft carrier – a major milestone in the service’s journey to integrate uncrewed jets into the carrier air wing. The ...

• Full-flight simulators (FFS) replicate the real “feel” of the simulated aircraft. • A 12-pole, brushless servomotor with custom rotor and stator design delivers 5,600 lb-in. • The custom-designed ...

This week, John Persinos interviewed Nick Lappos, co-chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) ...
