CURRENT ToPIcs I67
too rapidly for the high-speed aircraft. The control reacts to the pilot's signal in less than one-fifteenth second, and the hydraulic flight controls "boost" the pilot's effort some 15 times. The autopilot works through this same system in automatically piloting the aircraft. It is tied into the plane's radar and instrument landing system, helping it to track enemy targets automatically and to land in bad weather.
The autopilot is suitable for both large and small commercial airplanes as well as military aircraft. Radio-controlled, it can also serve to direct the flight of guided missiles and pilotless aircraft.
