The reason for using quadruplex actuation system is _______(a) precise movement(b) to counteract heavy air loads on the control surfaces(c) quick reaction to the control stick movement(d) as a fail safe mechanismThe question was asked at a job interview.My query is from Fly-By-Wire Technology topic in chapter Fly by Wire Flight Control of Avionics

Answer»

Right OPTION is (d) as a FAIL safe mechanism

To explain I would say: A QUADRUPLEX actuation system consists of four independent actuators whose output drives the power control UNIT. The fail-safe mechanism of the quadruplex system is that when one fails three can override it. All four actuators have TOTALLY independent power and control electronics.
