The Flight Control System (FCS) plays a crucial role in enabling the maneuverability and stability of the aircraft across a wide range of flight conditions. It is of utmost importance to consider the FCS during the initial stages of a project, particularly when designing high-speed vehicles, where the impact of control surfaces deflections on the aerodynamic performance may be significant. Additionally, ensuring high-speed aircrafts’ manoeuvrability and stability while meeting required standards presents a greater challenge compared to conventional subsonic aircraft. This paper addresses the preliminary design of the flight control system for a hypersonic aircraft: the STRATOFLY MR5, a Mach 5 civil passenger vehicle developed within the H2020 MORE&LESS project. The steps followed in the preliminary design of the flight control system are reported. Initially, the geometric definition of all control surfaces is presented, followed by an estimation of potential deflections required to achieve vehicle’s stability and trim along the different flight regimes.
