Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global helicopter flight control systems (FCS) market report. The report also presents the market landscape and a detailed analysis of the key vendors in the market.

Competitive vendor landscape

The global helicopter FCS market is highly competitive, and vendors compete based on cost, product quality, reliability, and aftermarket service. “To survive and succeed in such an intensely competitive environment, it is crucial for vendors to provide cost-effective and high-quality flight control systems with latest technology and materials,” says Abhay Singh, a lead analyst at Technavio for aerospace components research.

UTC Aerospace and Moog are two leading providers that offer helicopter FCS for commercial and military helicopters. Their primary focus is to implement lightweight materials, more advanced electric technologies, and robust systems. For example, in 2016, Moog had signed a contract with Northrop Grumman for the supply of complete flight control actuation system including flight control actuators, actuator control electronics, and accessories for unmanned aircraft under development through a joint program between Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the US Office of Naval Research.

Government organizations such as FAA, EASA, Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), DARPA, and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) are initiating programs and encouraging the development and installation of FCS in helicopters to enhance safety. As a result, autopilot manufacturers are investing heavily in creating new, cost-efficient, and effective digital smart autopilots that can be installed in a variety of civil and military helicopters.
