    摘要: An actuator system for controlling a flight surface of an aircraft includes a first actuator having a first actuator input and a first linear translation element that moves based on rotational motion received at the first actuator input and a first sensor coupled to the first linear translation element that generates a first output based on a displacement of the first linear translation element. The system also includes a second actuator having a second actuator input and a second linear translation element that moves based on rotational motion received at the second actuator input and a second sensor coupled to the second linear translation element that generates a second output based on a displacement of the second linear translation element. The system also includes a control unit that receives the first and second outputs and determines if an error condition exists for the system based on first and second output.

    摘要: A selector lever that comprises a shaft rotatably attached to a pivot and arranged between two detent plates, each of the detent plates having a plurality of slots arranged for receiving a detent pin located on the shaft. Each of the plurality of slots on each of the two detent plates is defined by a radial depth. One or more of the plurality of slots is a failure detection slot having an extended radial depth. When one of the detent pins has failed, the opposing detent pin is allowed to travel into the extended radial depth when placed in the failure detection slot. This action reveals a failure indicator, providing a visual indication that one of the detent pins has failed.
