A study was made of the equipments making up a typical flight control actuation system (servo electronics, servo valves, actuators and transducers) to determine where digital technology could replace analog technology for the purpose of providing a more fault-tolerant flight control actuation system. The investigation led to an evaluation of architectural design issues such as where to locate the servo electronics, the adequacy of military standard serial bus systems for control (versus data) applications, and the feasibility of providing electronics which could survive severe environments. Several actuation system configurations were evaluated which led to recommending, as the best developmental prospect, a concept of a locally integrated actuation system consisting of servo electronics, servo valves, actuators and transducers, interfacing with a digital flight control computer over a serial bus.
