Enhanced Safety and Situational Awareness to Provide Viable Market Output
The usage of advanced flight computers enhances the safety of flight significantly since they automate a huge chunk of flight parameter monitoring activities thereby reducing the pilot's workload. The plethora of functions that can be easily performed by onboard flight control systems help enhance the safety envelope of the aircraft by improving the situational awareness of the pilots and reducing fatigue to a great extent. Additionally, the commercial and military aircraft fleet of various countries is growing across commercial airlines, including narrow-body aircraft, wide-body aircraft, and regional jets.??
For instance, in October 2022, BAE Systems and Supernal, two major flight control system manufacturers, unveiled an agreement to design and develop Supernal's Vertical Take-off and Landing (eVTOL) computer control system. In support of Supernal, BAE Systems will help define the architecture of a light electric flight system for its autonomous aircraft. The electric flight control system is anticipated to safely and efficiently control the aircraft during flight.
The emergence of new aircraft manufacturers in the Asia Pacific and Latin American regions is one of the major opportunities for the growth of the aircraft flight control systems market. Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd. (COMAC) (China), Embraer SA (Brazil), and Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation (Japan) are some of the new aircraft manufacturing companies. Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation is engaged in the production of regional aircraft, while COMAC manufactures commercial, business, and regional aircraft.?
For instance, in July 2023, BAE Systems unveiled the successful completion of PHASA-35 flight over 24 hours; PHASA-35
