Abstract
An aircraft comprises an aircraft structure, a flight control surface attached to the aircraft structure, and a local hydraulic power pack disposed proximal to the flight control surface. The local hydraulic power pack is configured to provide pressurized hydraulic fluid for actuating the flight control surface. The local hydraulic power pack comprises a reservoir for the hydraulic fluid and two hydraulic pumps for pressurizing the hydraulic fluid.
