Maneuvering Using hydraulic Power

Mechanical links similar to the ones used on smaller aircraft run into a hydraulic control device. This device is known as a selector valve. This valve controls fluid going in and out of actuators. These actuators are simply a piston inside a cylinder. The movement of the piston controls the movement of the flight surface of the aircraft.
