A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)-based control system for elevator deflection and lift control in subsonic military aircraft is proposed. The system utilizes Siemens PLC and a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) to provide real-time monitoring and adjustment of elevator angles to optimize aircraft performance. The integration of automation in aircraft control improves precision, reduces human error, and enhances operational efficiency. The paper examines the theoretical principles underlying elevator deflection, the control algorithms implemented, and the experimental setup used to validate the system’s performance. The design of a PLC-based closed-loop elevator control system is experimentally validated with a measured 0.1 s response time, demonstrating improved precision compared to manual control.
