Система ограничения критических режимов. Современные гражданские самолеты оснащаются специальными цифровыми системами, задачей которых является не допустить выход ЛА на режимы, угрожающие безопасности полета. В частности ими отслеживается максимально допустимая для воздушного судна перегрузка и выход на критические углы атаки. Европейский концерн "Airbus" впервые применил эту систему на лайнерах семейства A320, эксплуатирующихся с 1988 года (на снимке - A321). Аналогичные системы устанавливаются и на лайнеры компании "Boeing". Подходы "Airbus" и "Boeing", правда, различаются: европейская система жестко ограничивает режимы полета, тогда как на американской машине можно продолжить выполнение маневра, приложив дополнительные усилия к органам управления.
