Abstract
A control system (20) for controlling pitching stabilizer means of an aircraft, said system (20) being provided with at least one outlet shaft (21) and with a first actuator (31) and a second actuator (36). The first and second actuators (31 and 36) are different, and the first actuator (31) is a slow actuator having a first driving portion that moves at a first speed, the second actuator (36) being a fast actuator having a second driving portion that moves at a second speed faster than the first speed, said control system (20) comprising a control device (50) connected to the first actuator (31) and to the second actuator (36) in order to cause said outlet shaft (21) to be driven either by the first driving portion (32) and/or by the second driving portion (37).
