Abstract

This paper deals with recent research cases and directions of Fly-By-Wireless (FBWLS) flight control technology. FBWLS is a new type of flight control system technology with the aim of solving the problems mainly caused by the increasing amount of wires in aircraft to which Fly-By-Wire (FBW) technology applies. Therefore, in FBWLS flight control system the wired communication system is replaced with a wireless communication system. Currently the FBWLS flight control technology is at an initial development stage and thus this paper surveys deals with the cases in the viewpoint of technology feasibility. In this context, this paper analyzes technology that needs further studies to secure the reliability, stability and accuracy to the similar level of the corresponding FBW system. Since the major problems of FBWLS technology are packet losses and time delays so that this paper suggests the research direction of wireless communication protocol selection, optimization of wireless communication network and controller design considered communication environment.
