Weight Engineering - Aircraft Estimation %X An evaluation is made of the weight of fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control systems for advanced fighter aircraft. The evolution of flight control system weight is traced from a manual system through varying levels of hydraulic boost and augmented power controls, to complete FBW. Projected weight trends of future control systems reveal the possibility of achieving a lighter flight control system. %B 33rd Annual Conference, Fort Worth, Texas, May 6-8 %I Society of Allied Weight Engineers, Inc. %C Fort Worth, Texas %P 17 %8 5/6/74 %G eng %U https://www.sawe.org/papers/1018/buy %9 11.0.
