The utility model belongs to the field of aviation technology and relates to a left and right separable soft/hard hybrid operation linear system for an airplane. The operation linear system comprises a left operation linear system and a right operation linear system which are completely the same, wherein a first operating rod is connected with one end of a pull rod; the other end of the pull rod is hinged with one end of a reversing rocker arm; a reversing rocker arm shaft is coaxial with a sector wheel connected with one end of a soft steel cable; the other end of the soft steel cable is connected with a rear end sector wheel of the linear system; the rear end sector wheel is coaxial with a rear end reversing rocker arm hinged with one end of a rear end pull rod; the other end of the rear end pull rod is connected with a rocker arm on a rotating shaft of a control surface; the second linear system is parallel with the first linear system; and the two operation linear systems are connected together through the rear end of a clutch linear system. The soft/hard hybrid operation linear system solves the problems of low failure resistant performance and heavy weight and the like of a single hard operation linear system, and provides a transmission system characterized in high safety, light weight and excellent comprehensive performance for the manual flight control system of large-sized and medium-sized airplanes.
