Introductiony The AFS in aircraft is designed to reduce the workload of
the flying crew, improve regularity of the f light andto improve safety of the.
y The basic functions of the AFS are yaw damper, ruddertrim, rudder travel limitation, flight envelope protectionetc flight.
y The complete auto flight systems can be classified intotwo main systems.
y Flight management guidance systems
y Flight augmentation systems

When the AFS is not active, the above mentioned components arecontrolled by the same systems but orders are generated by specificdevices i.e., side sticks and thrust levers
The way to use AFS is to follow the flight plan automaticallyknowing the position of the aircraft and the flight plan chosen
by the pilot ,the system is able to compute the orders sent to
the flying surfaces and the engines so that the aircraft follows
the flight plan. The schematic of the AFS of a modern aircraftis shown in the figure1.3.

The basic functions of the Flight augmentationcomputers (FAC) are the rudder control and the f lightenvelope protection
The basic functions of the Flight Augmentation Computer
(FAC) are:
1. Yaw Damper
2. Rudder trim
3. Rudder travel Limitation
4. Flight Envelope Protection
The main objective is to design an auto flight system,which is used in the Unmanned Aerial vehicles and insmall aircrafts as a cost effective measure and fly theaircraft automatically
Having throttle control altitude is the default, for safety if theengine fails.

Types of Automatic Control SystemBased on the tasks level of difficulty, the Automatic Flight ControlSystem can
be categorized into four different types:1. AFCS as the trimmed flight holding system2. AFCS as the stability augmentation system3. AFCS as the command augmentation system4. AFCS as the stability maker and command optimization

4. The autopilot computer processes theinput data and determines that the wings areno longer level.5. The autopilot computer sends a signal tothe servos that control the aircraft's ailerons.
The signal is a very specific command tellingthe servo to make a precise adjustment.
Some airplanes even have autothrust
computers to control engine thrust.Autopilot and autothrust systems can worktogether to perform very complexmaneuvers.

5. The autopilot computer sends a signal to theservos that control the aircraft's ailerons. The
signal is a very specific command telling the servoto make a precise adjustment
6. Each servo has a small electric motor fitted witha slip clutch that, through a bridle cable, grips theaileron cable. When the cable moves, the controlsurfaces move accordingly.
7. As the ailerons are adjusted based on the input
data, the wings move back toward level.8. The autopilot computer removes the command
when the position sensor on the wing detects that
the wings are once again level.

9. The servos cease to apply pressure on the aileroncables.
This loop, shown above in the block diagram,works continuously, many times a second, muchmore quickly and smoothly than a human pilotcould. Two- and three-axis autopilots obey the
same principles, employing multiple processorsthat control multiple surfaces.

operate e evators an ru er ai eronswerenot connected as wing dihedralwas countedupon to produce the necessary roll stability.)It permitted the aircraft to fly straight andlevel on a compass course without a pilot's
attention, greatly reducing the pilot'sworkload.Lawrence Sperry(the son of famousinventor Elmer Sperry) demonstrated it twoyears later in 1914 at an aviation safetycontest held in Paris. At the
contest, Lawrence Sperrydemonstrated thecredibility of the invention were shown byflying the aircraft with his hands away fromthe controls and visible to onlookers of thecontest. This autopilot system was alsocapable of performing take-off and landing,
and the French military command showedimmediate interest in the autopilotsystem.Wiley Post used a Sperry autopilotsystem to fly alone around the world in lessthan eight days in 1933.Further development of the autopilot wereperformed, such as improved controlalgorithms and hydraulic servomechanisms.
