EVOLUTION OF THE.INTEGRATED FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM OF INDIAN LIGHT COMBAT AIRCRAFT

摘要

The requirements of the customer are analysed to derive the specifications of the Integrated Flight Control System of LCA. Interdependency of IFCS and other systems of aircraft to meet the specifications is explained. The evolution of the configuration of IFCS for LCA and its influence on the other systems of aircraft is discussed. A brief description of its development cycle is given, covering design, development and testing. Further activities of IFCS leading to the Final Operational Clearance of LCA are outlined towards the end.
