DUBLIN, September 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Global Military Aircraft Flight Control System Market 2017-2021" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The global military aircraft flight control system market to grow at a CAGR of 5.33% during the period 2017-2021.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global military aircraft flight control system market for 2017-2021. The report also highlights the various factors contributing to the growth of the market, upcoming trends, and key challenges. In addition, it provides a detailed overview of the top vendors in the market. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is FBW control systems. Conventionally, aircraft controls were mechanic and hydraulic. Advancements in technology have led to the development of a new kind of control, called FBW. FBW enables control of movable components on the wing and tail through an electronic interface. The flight control movements are converted into electric signals, which are transmitted through wires. The flight control computers receive these signals and, in turn, control the actuators.

According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is Increased inclination toward automation. Automatic flight control system (AFCS) or autopilot is a part of an aircraft's avionics system, which controls the aircraft trajectory, without the pilot's constant intervention. AFCS was initially developed to reduce the workload of the pilot during critical phases of flight (like high-altitude cruising). It is basically classified based on the number of surfaces it controls. It can be single-axis, two-axis, or three-axis. A three-axis autopilot controls ailerons, elevators, and rudder.

Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is Stringent regulatory norms. The vendors who offer FCS must abide by regulatory norms laid down by defense organizations. These norms can exist at the federal, state, and local levels. The process of validation of a control system design is highly elaborate. It includes a series of authentication checks and certification processes. In general, the validation activities can be categorized as inspection, test, demonstration and analysis. Validation is to ensure that the control system is on par with the various standards of functionality, quality, and safety. For instance, MIL-STD (United States Military Standard) or MIL-SPEC is a defense standard of the US DoD.
