Abstract
A control system for an aircraft including first and second lanes having respective first and second processors dissimilar to one another and configured to output respective first and second computation data. At least one programmable logic device may be configured to receive the first computation data output and the second computation data output, determine a difference therebetween, and transmit a corrective computation data output to the first processor and the second processor via respective feedback loops if the difference between the first computation data output and the second computation data output exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
