The flight control systems are operated by the pilot to control the direction, attitude, and forces of flight. It consists of primary and secondary systems. While ailerons, elevators, and rudder constitute the primary control system and are required to control the aircraft for safe flight, wing flaps, spoilers, leading edge devices, and trim systems constitute the secondary control system and functions to enhance the performance of the airplane and relieve the pilot of excessive control forces.
Advances in technology have led to the introduction of fly-by-wire (FBW) control systems for aircraft. This system converts flight control movements to electronic signals and transmits them through wires, thereby eliminating manual control. It is an electronic interface that empowers flight control computers to determine movement of actuators at each control surface and to provide the expected response. In addition, there increased usage of high-resistive union makes the aircraft safer in the event of lightning strikes. Thus, the shift toward next-generation FCS is the latest trend in the market.
Aerospace Flight Control System Market – Competitive Analysis
The market is highly fragmented with a limited number of large- and small-sized players between whom the competition is intense. Most vendors operate across product lines and offer products to multiple industries, whereas other vendors deal with more niche segments and provide only a limited number of products to the defense industry. Vendors have started to shift their manufacturing bases to APAC for greater cost-effectiveness. In addition, the need for an enhanced response time is expected to gain increased market traction during the forecast period. This drives the vendors to acquire or set up manufacturing facilities in APAC. The need for higher revenue and customer base expansion has forced global players to enter into alliances with local players to adequately serve the end users.
