Book excerpt: This report describes a study of flight control actuation system with an objective to determine the degree of digitalization possible between the digital flight control processor and the control surface. A typical analog actuation system is defined as a reference for comparison with five alternates, each mechanized with increasing amounts of digital equipment.

It verifies that distributed actuation systems are now feasible and promise enhanced performance, reliability, and cost reductions.
