WEIGHT ENGINEERING - AIRCRAFT ESTIMATION}, address = {Fort Worth, Texas}, abstract = {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.}, keywords = {11.
