Answer: In a fly-by-wire aircraft, the pilot inputs commands via a sidestick or yoke to a computer. The computer then directs the hydraulic or electric actuator to deflect a flight control surface.

BAE Systems has been selected by Boeing to upgrade the fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control computers (FCC) for the F-15EX Eagle II and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter aircraft. The FCCs feature common ...

An international team of civil aviation regulatory authorities from 10 different countries submitted a 71-page technical review of the Boeing 737 MAX flight control system to FAA Associate ...

Airbus ordered fixes on a large number of A320-family aircraft after discovering that intense solar radiation can corrupt data essential to flight-control systems. The recall may cause travel ...

Modern aerospace engineering increasingly relies on the seamless integration of advanced performance modelling with state‐of‐the‐art flight control systems. These systems optimise aerodynamic ...

Any time you change a flight control’s mass, it negatively affects the speed at which the flight control can flutter. The mass of a flight control can change due to drain holes getting plugged as well ...

Inverted Quadcopter? That generally means a crash is soon to follow. Not so for a new crop of quadcopter fliers. These new quadcopters are capable of sustained inverted flight. We’ve seen inverted ...
