Fly-by-wire (FBW) is a system that replaces conventional manual flight control of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of the flight controls are converted into electronic signals sent through wires, and the flight control computers determine how to move the actuators on each control surface to provide an orderly response. Most military aircraft such as the F-16 or Eurofighter Typhoon cannot fly without this system. Below is a link to an article and video about this system: https://lnkd.in/dDuT6qdh Author of the video: Captain Joe I invite you to discuss this system and share your knowledge. #aviation #airplanes #flybywire #modernflightcontrols #militaryaviation

Imagine if three aircraft could be flown by one crew. Now they can. GA-ASI and Air Force Special Operations Command have proved it, as well as MQ-9A's ability to launch the Altius 600 ALE.

The manned component of the United States Air Force next generation fighter NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) is going through a rethink because of the extremely high price and the evolution of the threats it is facing. We take a look at what the Air Force might be going towards, a "deconstructed" NGAD with capabilities allocated to different platforms.

An updated edition 2.0 of the EUROCONTROL Compendium of Aeronautical Information on Management of Flights by Mode S and ADS-B OUT Non-Equipped State Aircraft is now available at: https://lnkd.in/eexnZwXc The purpose of this Compendium is to support State aircraft operators, raising their awareness on the national arrangements and procedures for the handling of non-Mode S and non-ADS-B OUT transport-type State aircraft operating as General Air Traffic (GAT) in European airspace. It was developed on the basis of information provided by National Military Authorities and/or derived from National AIPs/AICs.   This Compendium serves only awareness purposes and does not replace National AIP and AIC information which must be consulted to prepare operations.

IVEWS is an obvious choice for any user considering a cost effective, highly capable upgrade to their F-16 fleet.

Further to our post earlier this week about questions within the French National Assembly regarding plans for replacement of the Patrouille de France's fleet of AlphaJets and the response mentioning interest in a modular solution, it was interesting to see a related question being raised in the UK Parliament. It is good to see the conversation evolving around the wide ranging benefits of a modular solution for air forces, including of course, the Royal Air Force. #Modular #AERALIS #Airforce

Superb Achievement by Indian Air Force; Night Vision Google added landing in the Eastern Sector by #C130J Aircraft.

https://lnkd.in/gY-9NdMx C-17 Aircraft “Challenges” B-52 Bomber As Top Dog For US Air Force; Boeing To Add Hypersonic Missiles On Globemasters The second largest strategic and tactical airlifter of the US Air Force, the C-17 Globemaster III aircraft, will pack a lethal punch in the future. Boeing has unveiled a new concept called the “Revolver” launch system, which, when integrated with the airlifter, will be able to fire several hypersonic missiles from the back of the aircraft. Considering the dispersed nature of...

This could be great for minimizing the amount of aircrew and equipment needed to control these Remotely Piloted Aircraft. Combining this with some of the advances and successes of Ferry Flights, the future looks interesting for this airframe and system.
