Abstract

Dowty Boulton Paul have been involved in the electrical signalling of aircraft control surface actuators since 1956 and would claim responsibility for the first aircraft to fly with such control in 1957. Figure 1 shows that Dowty have been continuously working on fly‐by‐wire projects since that time.
