Abstract
The invention relates to a flight control system for an aircraft comprising control surfaces and actuators associated with the control surfaces to control flight functions, including roll, yaw, pitching, and aerodynamic braking of the aircraft. The actuators associated with the control surfaces that control at least one of the flight control functions are electromechanical actuators. A part of the control surfaces associated with the electromechanical actuators is divided, where each of the divided control surfaces is comprised of at least two independent surfaces.
