  • Definition

    flight control system with electronic signalling

     

    NOTE 1 In a fly-by-wire system, traditional mechanical linkages are replaced with electrical wiring, offering advantages such as enhanced control precision, flexibility in aircraft design, and the ability to incorporate advanced control features.

    NOTE 2 On fly-by-wire aircraft, flight controls are typically implemented according to complex control laws and logics.
