The document discusses flight control systems on Tornado aircraft. It contains figures of the taileron/rudder control surface actuation system and taileron and rudder actuators. The flight control system uses four computing lanes for redundancy and to achieve a high level of integrity, as the aircraft is unstable and the flight control system must be able to handle two critical failures.

Flight Control Systems

Figure 1.16a Tornado Taileron/Rudder CSAS drive interface

Figure 1.16b Tornado taileron and rudder actuators (Courtesy of Claverham/Hamilton Sundstrand) system in which control computations are undertaken in all four computing lanes. The system is quadruplex rather than triplex as a much higher level of integrity is required. As has been mentioned earlier the EAP was an unstable aircraft and the FCS has to be able to survive two critical failures. Figure 1.17a shows the relationship between the ight control computers
