Global Aircraft Flight Control Systems (FCS) Market Analysis 2022

Global Aircraft Flight Control Systems (FCS) Market Analysis 2022

The Global Aircraft Flight Control Systems (FCS) Market is expected to reach $17.04 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2021 to 2028. Aircraft flight control systems are aerodynamic devices that combine electromechanical and automation skills. These systems consist of primary flight control systems and secondary flight control systems. These are used to provide safety to the aircraft during pitching, rolling, banking, and enhance the performance of aircraft. Primary FCS includes elevators, ailerons, and rudder, whereas the secondary FCS includes spoilers, trim systems, leading-edge devices, and wing flaps.

Factors such as surge in technological advancements, increase in use of aircraft in military applications, and continuous growth of air travel are driving the growth of the market. However, limited lifespan of flight control systems and high manufacturing cost are restraining the growth of the market.

Based on technology, the fly-by-wire segment is going to have a lucrative growth during the forecast period which can be attributed to the advantages of reduced weight, improved reliability, damage tolerance, and more effective control of a necessarily highly manoeuverable aircraft. Fly-by-Wire (FBW) is the generally accepted term for those flight control systems which use computers to process the flight control inputs made by the pilot or autopilot, and send corresponding electrical signals to the flight control surface actuators. FBW provides the ability to ensure that unintended increases in angle of attack or sideslip are detected and rapidly, and automatically, resolved by marginally deflecting the control surfaces in the opposite way while the problem is still small.
