A rudder system for an aircraft has a center box (30), a rudder (8) and actuators (14), the rudder (8) being pivotably mounted about a hinge line (10) relative to the center box (30). According to the invention, the actuators (14) are arranged at an acute angle to the hinge ...
aerofoil,airfoil,control surface,surface- a device that provides reactive force when in motion relative to the surrounding air; can lift or control a plane in flight wing- one of the horizontal airfoils on either side of the fuselage of an airplane ...

(the rudder, elevator, and ailerons) are replaced by electric wires carrying signals from the pilot's controls to a flight control computer and from the computer to actuators located at the control surfaces . While engineering standards mayretard progress, they are nevertheless necessary to prevent...
This invention relates to gun sights and particularly to sights for guns that are mounted in fixed positions on a firing ship such as, for example, an airplane. When firing a gun fixedly mounted on an airplane at a stationary target the pilot merely has to direct the plane, and thereby ...
Often known as the world's first twin-jet wide-body airplane with range long enough for it to be operated on transatlantic flights, Airbus A310 first came into production in 1983. Boeing 777 Commonly referred to as the ‘Triple Seven’, it is the first Boeing aircraft with fly-by-wire c...
