Aircraft rudder actuators form part of the aircraft rudder control system, which ensures both piloting of the aircraft by the pilot and automatic flight of the aircraft along the specified trajectories, therefore the task of choosing the required actuator for aileron control of the aircraft is an integral stage in the design of the lateral control channel and requires consideration of many parameters and computational data. The present work is devoted to analyzing the characteristics and selecting the type of actuator for aileron control of a heavy unmanned aerial vehicle. Choosing the right type of aileron control actuator solves a number of fundamental engineering problems when creating an autopilot system and a comprehensive control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle.
