PeterH upthread had found some details about the pneumatic system.

More questions remain.
- Pneumatic cilinders single or double working?
- If double working, what are the numbers for the reverse stroke?
- What redundancies in the pneumatic system?
- Any redundancies for the pneumatic system? (e.g. aerodynamic and reaction controls "working" the configuration)
- ...
I would expect numerous failure mode effect and criticality analyses (FMECAs) have been performed prior to any flight including test flights, the details of much of that we cannot expect to ever see.
OTOH itīs amazing how much information over time can be gleaned from te public domain, I am sure we will see more answers coming.
