What is “Fly-by-wire” technology in aviation? What benefits does it have and why is it used in modern airplanes today?
In: Engineering
Fly by wire aircraft still use hydraulic actuators for flight controls, there is just no control cables going from a yoke/stick to the power control units, just wires.
Non fly by wire aircraft with hydraulic flight controls also do not require any appreciable amount of effort to move the controls during normal operation.
