Fly-by-wire technology

Fly-by-wire technology is an electronic control system in aircraft that replaces traditional manual control cables and pulleys. Instead of a pilot directly moving the aircraft's control surfaces (like ailerons and rudders), their inputs are converted into electronic signals. These signals are processed by flight control computers, which then send commands to small motors that move the control surfaces. This system improves precision, reduces weight, and provides safety features like automatic stability adjustments and fault detection. Overall, fly-by-wire enhances aircraft handling, safety, and performance through advanced electronics rather than mechanical linkages.
