Centralised hydraulic systems have long been the norm for control and actuation in aircraft. Critical flight control systems such as rudders, elevators, and ailerons rely on these heavy systems. Theoretically, some of the drawbacks associated with centralised hydraulics can be alleviated by moving to distributed hydraulic systems, however, this has proven difficult in practice. What […]
