“Chromatic Light in Hair‐Thin Glass Fibers transmits Information Flow in Aircraft”

Abstract

This latest control system is known as “LECOS” — derived from its descriptive title: “Light Electronic Control System”. It employs optical‐glass fibres and various frequencies of light to transmit control commands from the flight deck to the aircraft control surfaces.
