Abstract
In support of the Fly-by-Light Advanced Systems Hardware (FLASH) Program, Moog has developed and continues to refine a high performance optical input servovalve. This servovalve features no external electrical connections, with all control inputs commanding the valve via an optical fiber. This valve has already demonstrated dynamic and static performance that exceeds most aerospace servovalve requirements, requiring less than 100 milliwatts of optical input power.
