The specific principle of the related work of the flight control servo actuation system is shown in Figure 2 .

[0037] First, the optimization objectives of system safety, reliability, and testability are determined. For the servo subsystem, the output is the actuator displacement, and therefore the optimization objective of system safety is: .

Various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present application without departing from the design spirit of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application defined by the claims.
