Fly-by-Wire systems
A "Fly-by-Wire" system is an advanced technology used in aircraft to control flight operations electronically rather than through traditional mechanical linkages. In this system, pilot inputs are converted into electronic signals, which are then processed by computers to adjust the aircraft's control surfaces, such as ailerons and elevators. This allows for more precise handling and can enhance safety by providing automatic corrections for stability.
Fly-by-Wire systems often include features like autopilot and flight envelope protection, which help prevent the aircraft from exceeding safe operating limits. This technology is commonly found in modern commercial jets, such as the Airbus A320 and Boeing 777, improving overall performance and reducing pilot workload.
