Aircraft rotate around three axes: pitch, roll, and yaw, controlled by surfaces such as elevators, ailerons, and rudders. Mechanical control systems use cables and linkages, while modern systems ...

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 ...

Vertical Aerospace demonstrates transition flight, shifts lift between rotors and wings, and uses fly-by-wire controls to manage stability. The aircraft transitioned seamlessly from rotor-driven lift ...
