During the military field, aircraft has become increasingly important as one tactical weapon, as it is used for reconnaissance, surveillance and attack tasks, etc. Thus the risk of casualties among ...

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 ...

An integrated approach with a single-source motion control sytem offers benefits including reduced costs and greater control.

Heavier-than-air flight control systems have evolved from basic weight shifting to complex fly-by-wire, driven by the need to manage faster, heavier aircraft and reduce pilot workload through ...

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 incredible engineering of the next-gen Xtra Wide Body.

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.

The U.S. Air Force is looking to fly more drones and other uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) at bases across the country. On Monday, the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) announced that it and the ...

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 ...

A closer look at how one key design choice from the 1960s still impacts the Boeing 737's performance today.
