Gulfstream G500 and G600


  G650 Cockpit

 

Gulfstream Fly-By-Wire

The digital fly-by-wire system is based on that in the G650,
with a pair of dual-channel Thales flight-control computers
and Parker electronic power-control actuators. But new to
the G500 and G600are the active-inceptor sidestick controls.

These are electrically back-driven, so they appear to be mechanically
linked side to side: When one sidestick is movedthe other moves with it. The sidesticks also move in response
to autopilot inputs, providing the pilots with tactile and visual
feedback.

" Gulfstream further pushes the technology envelope by equipping the G650 with a computer-controlled, highly redundant fly-by-wire flight

 
system, which, working in concert with the pilot or on full automatic, provides measured, minute adjustments that create smoother flights and increase passenger comfort."

The G500 is also the first business aircraft manufactured with a Data Concentration Network. DCN fiber-optic wires line the airframe, significantly reducing cables and relay equipment.

"Totally redesigned, the Falcon 8X cockpit will feature a new generation of EASy flight deck and offer an optional wide-screen head-up display, integrating enhanced and synthetic vision for vastly improved situational awareness in low-visibility conditions.
It will also feature Honeywell’s next-generation 3D color weather radar system with enhanced turbulence detection capability."

Since its entry into commercial airplane service on the Airbus A320 in 1988, the all-electronic fly-by-wire system has gained such popularity that it is becoming the only control system used on new airliners.
