Key Takeaways:

  • LAM Aviation's new wing flight control system improves GA aircraft performance, handling, and safety by replacing separate ailerons and flaps.
  • The system offers features like a full-span flap to counteract adverse yaw and split ailerons functioning as speed brakes, enhancing control and preventing spins.
  • It incorporates a backup mechanical system for safety in case of electromechanical failure and is designed to reduce fuel consumption and increase useful load.
  • LAM will showcase a modified Columbia 300 with the new system at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh.
