THE automatic flight control system (AFCS) for the Concorde has been jointly developed by Elliott-Automation Ltd. and SFENA (Société Francaise pour la Navigation Aérienne) for the production aircraft. Elliott carry the overall design responsibility and the equipment will be supported in the field by both Elliott and SFENA. The pitch axis of the autopilot and flight director, the autothrottle, all aspects of the control of speed, all pilot/ AFCS interfaces and the landing display are Elliott responsibilities for the pre-production and production aircraft, while SFENA are responsible for the three-axis autostabiliser, azimuth axes of the autopilot and flight director, electric trim system and the flight test instrumentation for the AFCS. The Bendix Corporation participated in the programme for the prototype aircraft with the design and manufacture of the azimuth axes of the autopilot and flight director, and the electric trim system.
