The cable flight control systems are commonly used for the control of small airplanes. In these systems, the cables are the only elements transmitting loads from the pilot to the control surfaces. During a flight the cables are moving through pulleys and are subjected to variable loads. A simple analysis of stress in the cable shows that the stress generated by the cyclical bending on the pulleys causes the fatigue of the wires.
