Autopilot Systems Market - Global Industry Research Report, 2020

Autopilot system is an integral part of flight management system. It is utilized to control a vehicle without constant monitoring by a human operator. This system do not replaces a human operator instead assist them in operating a vehicle. They are widely used in aviations, missiles, spacecrafts and ships among others. An autopilot system consists of three components including programmer or mode selector, computer and actuator. A programmer or mode selector allows the pilot to program the autopilot system to achieve intended flight profile and helps in interacting with avionic system such as GPS.

Computer receives the information from programmer and transfers it to the actuator. Actuators are motors or servos which physically move the aircraft’s control surface. Autopilot systems are designed to complete two primary purposes including enhancing pilot’s flight control capability and reducing the cockpit’s workload by putting the aircraft in automatic flight mode.

An autopilot system performs several functions such as course tracking and coupling, dual mode intercept, course deviation warning, roll steering, altitude hold, control wheel steering, glide slope coupling, vertical speed and heading mode among others. This system performs the task of maintaining the assigned altitude and heading, tracking vehicle off road signal and intercepting the course. Some of the autopilot systems use computer software to control the airplane. This software tracks the current position of the aircraft and controls the flight management system accordingly. Autopilot system offers low consumption of fuel compared to airplane operated by human pilot.

Control surface affects an aircrafts attitude including elevators, rudder and ailerons. An autopilot is capable of controlling all these control surface. Different levels of controls in aircraft include single-axis, two-axis and...
