Technavio's military aircraft flight control system market forecasts that the increased inclination towards automation is one of the primary factors for the growth of this market. Automatic flight control system (AFCS) or autopilot is an addition to the aircraft's avionics system that controls aircraft trajectory and reduces the workload of the pilot. Advanced autopilots use computer software for aircraft control that effectively processes the multiple inputs from various senders such as GPS receivers. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology will be primarily used in search and rescue missions or remote surveillance applications. Technavio's military aircraft flight control system industry report estimates that the market will grow steadily at a CAGR of more than 5% by 2021.
Technological advancements in aircraft control have resulted in the development of fly-by-wire (FWB) control that enables full control of movable components on the wing and tail through an electronic interface. FBW contains electronic signals that are transmitted to the flight control computers through wires. Additionally, FBW control enhances the fuel efficiency, reliability, and safety and also reduces the weight of the aircraft. This wil increase the adoption of FBW control systems which according to this industry research report, will be one of the key military aircraft flight control system market trends that will gain traction in the market during the next few years.

The military aircraft flight control system market is intensely competitive and the existing players compete fiercely based on factor such as cost, reliability, product quality, and market share. Key players focus extensively on the implementation of lightweight materials, advanced technologies, and robust systems. Additionally, the flight control system vendors are also focusing on providing cost-effective and high-quality military aircraft flight control systems (FCS).
The leading vendors in the market are -
The other prominent vendors in the market are Genesys Aerosystems, Honeywell International, Moog, and Parker Hannifin.
The fixed-wing aircraft FCS consists of primary and secondary cockpit controls with engine control mechanisms that control the speed of the aircraft. Primary controls regulate the speed and thrust of the aircraft while the secondary controls are used to gain finer control over the flight. Additionally, the secondary controls also reduce the pilot's workload in maintaining certain pitch attitude and during low-speed operations.
The US? Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has initiated several projects in the Americas with the aim to develop UAVs that incorporate vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) flight control mechanisms and advanced sensor payloads and software to develop the FCS. The UAV will carry a variety of payloads such as sensors, cargo, and life support gear, in addition to, carrying out functions like cargo resupply, casualty evacuation, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).
