Flight control systems

Every second of the day, an aircraft somewhere in the world takes off enabled by flight-critical systems designed, produced, and supported by BAE Systems. Our advanced, fly-by-wire (FBW) control systems are the operational heart of those aircraft, including our primary flight control computers (FCC), our active inceptor systems (AIS) and active control sticks (ACS), our slat & flap electronic control units (SFECU) and spoiler control electronics (SCE), our actuator control electronics (ACE), and our remote electronics units (REU). Whatever the nature of your aviation mission – manned or autonomous – no one delivers more advanced, high performance flight control solutions for your aircraft than BAE Systems.

See a more detailed list of our flight controls portfolio for commercial aircraft below, as well as key features and capabilities of our integrated flight control system elements. Contact our commercial aircraft solutions electronic systems director of business development today to learn more.
