- Contexto
- The rudder control system consists of the rudder pedals, push-pull rods, cable assemblies, bellcranks, a rudder damper, control valves, and a power cylinder. When the pedals are moved, the motion is transmitted by the push-pull rods, bellcranks, and cable assemblies. This positions the control valve meters and routes hydraulic fluid to the power cylinder, positioning the rudder. It is usually possible to have limited mechanical authority over the rudder in a hydraulic system failure.
