Hi,
Have a question that might be a bit difficult to answer, but
I would appreciate any thoughts on this.
When moving the yoke, the control surface will move - offcourse.
Now, my problem is that there will always be some sort of DELAY
from you make the INPUT on the yoke until the surface MOVES to the
selected position. Depending on aircraft, this is due to hydraulic
delays, stretching wires, old bearings, bending levers, twisting
wings, bending control surface etc etc.
So, the big question is how long is this delay in time?
e.g. if you make a full elevator input (in flight), how long
would it takke for the elevator to actually move to full deflection?
(No one probably tried this I know
)
Are FBW aircraft more responsive than non FBW?
I ask because I make aircraft for a flight simulator.
The longer the time delay, the "heavier" the aircraft will "feel".
I don't wan't my Boeings to snap roll like an F16.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
M
