def compute_flight_controls_power_draw(flight_controls,vehicle,state,bus):
    """
    Computes the power draw of an flight_controls system.
    
    Parameters
    ----------
    flight_controls : flight_controls
        The flight_controls component with the following attributes:
            - power_draw : float
                Power consumption of the flight_controls component [W]
    flight_controls_conditions : Conditions
        Object to store flight_controls power conditions with the following attributes:
            - power : numpy.ndarray
                Array to store the computed power draw values [W]
    conditions : Conditions
        Object containing mission conditions (not directly used in this function)
    
    Returns
    -------
    None
        This function modifies the flight_controls_conditions.power array in-place.
    
    Notes
    -----
    This function assigns the constant power draw value from the flight_controls component
    to the power array in the flight_controls_conditions object. The power draw is assumed
    to be constant throughout the mission segment.
    
    For more complex flight_controls models, this function could be extended to calculate
    power draw based on operating mode, altitude, or other mission parameters.
