Speed Brake Control Units for Fly-by-Wire Systems Contact Us

LORD speed brake control units, or fly-by-wire spoiler levers, are developed with a flexible design approach. This approach, combined with a range of technology solutions, enable LORD to provide highly customized designs. Light panels, sensors, friction level, detent position and load, and cosmetic features all can be adapted for each aircraft program.

All electrical components used are mature components - logging flying hours for more than 20 years. Also, with more than 8,000 secondary control lever units flying - each with a proven MTBF greater than 150,000 FH (often greater than the aircraft life itself) - LORD has the technology, experience and capability to provide a more optimized unit in terms of system weight, cost, aircraft integration, pilot acceptance, reliability and maintainability. We are accustomed to working with both aircraft and system manufacturers in a collaborative environment. When coupled with our extensive and capable on-site test facility, LORD is able to support all systems requirements, from development to certification, within the program schedule.

LORD is both an OEM and MRO solution provider - if you are owner or operator, please visit our MRO Services page.
