S1 E5 The basic controls and fly by the wire

Send us a text


James and Grant discuss the basic flying controls; ailerons,
elevator and the rudder, we also talk about fly-by-wire control
systems then finish up on speedbrakes/spoilers.
Around 16 minutes into the pod we go a bit heavy discussing the
secondary effects of the ailerons and rudder, this goes for
around 3 minutes then we return back to the basics, so stay with
us if it gets bit overwhelming, we return to normal operations
around 3 minutes later.
