Fly-by-Wire Flight Control Actuators

Fly-by-wire flight control actuators receive signals from the flight control computer and convert them into control surface motion for optimal flight control and flying qualities. Parker Aerospace FBW actuators have proven reliability and performance records on a wide variety of commercial, military, and business jet aircraft. FBW actuators feature Parker's Jet-Pipe® electrohydraulic servovalve technology or direct drive valve technology along with the latest developments in fly-by-wire technology. Today's aircraft manufacturers rely on fly-by-wire for improved performance, reliability, and weight savings gained through the elimination of the control linkages necessary with mechanical input actuation.
