Abstract
An aircraft control system in which a plurality of elementary control systems, corresponding to different aircraft functions, can share one or more sensors due to a common AFDX network. The transmission of commands is carried out via AFDX messages sent to network-subscribed actuators. Advantageously, the computers of the different elementary control systems installed in the avionics bay include generic computers hosting software specific to execution of respective functions thereof (IMA architecture).
