This conclusion to the the conference covers the flying qualities and flight control systems (FCS) of transport aircraft equipped with electrical flight control systems, as seen by Aerospatiale. A retrospective look at the related technological developments over the past 25 years precedes a comparison between the Airbus A340 and A320. The main points in the differences between the FCS in the A320 and the A340 are associated with the compensation effects of the more flexible structure of the A340, its design for long-range ('minimum drag'), and the inherent limitations in take-off performance.
