Abstract
A flexible flight control system enables conversion from one architecture using one type of inceptor to another architecture using another type of inceptor, through the usage of modular software and hardware pieces with common interfaces among the different types of inceptors. Longitudinal and lateral directional control laws are adapted to be compatible with the specific aspects of the operation of each configuration/architecture, giving the option to the aircraft operator to choose any one of a number of inceptor architectures at time of manufacture.
