Abstract
In this paper, kinematic synthesis of a planar flight control system mechanism has been conducted for a light aircraft designed and built by TAI. To achieve a simple construction, the four‐bar linkages are used in the synthesis. Freudenstein's Method and Bloch's Method are utilized for analytical three and four bar position syntheses respectively. A case study of an elevator flight control system is presented.
