Abstract
The Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) for the SARAS aircraft is being designed in collaboration with a private partner. The AFCS provides for Flight Director Guidance function involving a three axis limited authority autopilot with pitch auto trim function. It features13; CAT II approach capability and Control Wheel Steering (CWS). The architecture is fail-safe and extendable to a dual-dual configuration. The autopilot actuators are all electric smart brushless DC motors which engage with the all-mechanical reversible Primary Flight Control System in parallel via individual geared clutches.
