The advanced design concepts and technologies of military aircraft find their applications, after a certain time delay due to industrial economy reasons, in civil aircraft. However, these concepts must be reviewed in the light of safety rules applicable to civil aircraft. Hence civil design concepts have some original aspects which in this paper are illustrated with the example of the flight control system used in the Concorde supersonic civil transport aircraft. The aims of performance and confidence (in the sense of navigability and operational usage) will be considered first. The design concepts and technology necessary to realize these aims will then be given. (Author)
