Quote: The Direct Lift Contol was magical during a coupled approach, maintaining the glide slope with the use of spoilers, leaving the pitch locked in and comfortable. No other bird did that at the time (like so many other attributes of the L10). Has any other airframe used DLC since? Can't think of one, maybe there is.
Civilian aircraft I don't know of any. I believe the F14 and S3 had it.
