Claim 13:
14. A method for synchronizing a plurality of electro-mechanical actuators, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) receiving an actuator position demand;
(b) sending a speed command to each of the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators;
(c) receiving outputs from position sensors associated with the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators indicating an actual position value;
(d) calculating a virtual position value of each of the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators;
(e) comparing the actual position value to the virtual position value to determine an angle error value; and
(f) adjusting the speed command of each of the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators to synchronize movement of the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators together.
