A380 Flight Control Actuator Map
A380 Flight Control Actuator Map ✈️⚙️
This diagram shows the types, locations, and systems controlling the A380’s main flight surfaces:
Key Controls:
• Ailerons: Roll control
• Elevators: Pitch control
• Spoilers: Roll + speed brake
• Rudders: Yaw control
• THS: Trim the aircraft’s pitch
Actuator Types:
• Conventional Servo (Green)
• Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator – EHA (Red)
• Electrical Backup Hydraulic Actuator – EBHA (Red + Green)
Hydraulic Systems:
• Yellow and Green systems split across surfaces for redundancy
• Blue outline = Active servocontrol
In short: The A380 uses a mix of hydraulic and electric actuators for high redundancy and smart flight control! ✅🛫
