Garmin has released an IFR-designed GFC 600H flight control system for helicopters, now featuring four-axis capability through the addition of collective control and a stability augmentation system.

Cheap plastics and materials used in all the wrong places Gritty-feeling throttle control Doesn't feel like a high-end product, despite the high-end price PC Gamer's got your back Our experienced team ...

If you want to take your flight sim experience to the next level, a HOTAS – hands-on throttle and stick – setup will make aviation a hundred times easier and more immersive than using a controller or ...

Airbus Helicopters has successfully tested an electric flight-control system aboard its H130-based FlightLab demonstrator, a key step towards development of the human-machine interface for its ...

In fixed-wing mode, the R6000 cruises at about 342 miles per hour, roughly twice the speed of traditional helicopters. It can ...

NASA and partner Lockheed Martin are evaluating a newly discovered flight-control problem with the agency’s X-59 supersonic demonstrator jet, and have moved the aircraft back inside for evaluation.

Electric actuators replace hydraulics in full-flight simulators while still maintaining that aircraft “feel.” • Full-flight simulators (FFS) replicate the real “feel” of the simulated aircraft. • A 12 ...

As the pace of flight testing picks up, Boeing’s first 777-9, WH001, and sister ship, WH002, will soon be rejoined by other test aircraft for the certification effort. Credit: Joe Walker In late ...
