The invention relates to a flight control system (1) for actuating a control surface (2) of an aircraft, comprising: a plurality of actuators (3) for the redundant actuation of a control surface (2) of the aircraft; actuator control electronics (4) for receiving, calculating and forwarding control signals for the control surface (2) to be actuated by means of the plurality of actuators (3); a plurality of remote electronic units (5), each provided for controlling and monitoring a corresponding actuator (3); and a first data bus system (10) for transferring data between the actuator control electronics (4) and the plurality of remote electronic units (5), the first data bus system (10) comprising a first data bus (11) for transferring data between the actuator control electronics (4) and a first of the plurality of remote electronic units (5) and comprising a second data bus (12) for transferring data between the actuator control electronics (4) and a second of the plurality of the remote electronic units (5), the first data bus (11) and the second data bus (12) being based on the same bus technology, the first data bus system (10) also comprising a backup data bus (13) for transferring data between the actuator control electronics (4) and the first remote electronic unit (5), and the backup data bus (13) being different in the bus technology thereof from the first data bus (11) and the second data bus (12). Because of the high system availability and device availability which are provided by means of the duplex architecture of the main bus, the backup data bus is limited only to data exchange between the computers which exclusively are required as a minimum configuration for safe flight operation. System components and associated electronic devices not required for the minimum configuration (minimum control) are also not integrated into the backup network. This leads to a reduction in the complexity, the cabling expense, the cable weight, and the installation costs.
