The pilot also gets extra maneuverability at high altitudes, says Wagemann, “where the air density is so low that the flight control surfaces become significantly degraded.” Then there’s the ...

CW editor-in-chief Scott Francis discusses trends in aerospace on display at JEC World — as the composites industry awaits a new single aisle aircraft program, the industry puts continued focus on new ...

Increased use of fly-by-wire technology for transmitting cockpit commands to flight control surfaces demands additional shielding and requires redundant systems as a backup to primary flight ...

Ground support equipment plays a crucial role in aviation operations by ensuring aircraft functionality during non-flight periods. Without proper ground support infrastructure, aircraft cannot safely ...

Learn about how modifications and simulations have begun under the Viper Experimentation and Next-gen Operations Model – ...

It's just a flight-control system that allows a pilot to fly an airplane without continuous hands-on control. Basically, it lets a pilot fly from New York to Los Angeles without white-knuckling ...

The wings are completely 3D printed, with integrated hinges for flight control surfaces slots for wiring and control components. It’s better suited for 3D printing than RC aircraft since it’s ...
