Flying Control Units

Abstract

AT AN early stage in Hawk design, it was decided that ailerons and tailplane would use hydraulically‐powered flying controls without manual reversion. The flying control control system employs push/pull rods exclusively to transmit pilot demands to the flying control surfaces with friction and backlash reduced to a minimum.
