Abstract

A method includes using two parallel electrohydraulic servo valves EHSVs with a single transfer valve to move an actuator during a normal operation mode. The method includes upon failure of one of the EHSVs, using the single transfer valve to disconnect a non-operational one of the EHSVs and continuing to move the actuator with a functional one of the EHSVs in a backup mode.
