Addition of common UAV flight control modes
[edit]Since the article refers to flight control systems in general rather than specifically commercial crewed flight it seems appropriate to include a small section describing common flight control law types used by EFCUs in unmanned craft. There's a lot of variation in specifics and terminology between various software systems (such as Ardupilot's "Fly By Wire A" vs INAV's "ANGLE") but the basics could be described with generalized names. For instance: Angular Control - The EFCU targets a pitch and roll setpoint commanded by the pilot. Rate Control - The EFCU targets a pitch/roll/yaw angular velocity commanded by the pilot. Manual Control - Aerodynamic surface deflection is controlled directly by the pilot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.140.28.34 (talk) 14:46, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Confusing sentence
[edit]- These newer generation of aircraft use the lighter weight electronic systems to increase safety and performance while lowering aircraft weight. Since these systems can also protect the aircraft from overstress situations, the designers can therefore reduce over-engineered components, further reducing weight.

- I have reworded it, see if that makes more sense. - Ahunt (talk) 21:38, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Possible copy-write violation
[edit]Using Wikipedia's tool for finding possible copy-write violations, I got this report: EditorASC (talk) 20:20, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- It looks pretty clear that http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Flight_Control_Laws was copied from here and not the other way around. It is not attributed, either. - Ahunt (talk) 12:23, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
Abnormal attitudes
[edit]Needs to mention Airbus abnormal attitudes law which are designed to assist recovery from jet upset — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.224.79.157 (talk) 08:14, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
