Fly-by-optics is sometimes used instead of fly-by-wire because it offers a higher data transfer rate, immunity to electromagnetic interference and lighter weight. In most cases, the cables are just changed from electrical to optical fiber cables. Sometimes it is referred to as "fly-by-light" due to its use of fiber optics. [40]
A fly-by-wire (FBW) system replaces manual flight control of an aircraft with an electronic interface. The movements of flight controls are converted to electronic signals transmitted by wires (hence the term fly-by-wire), and flight control computers determine how to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the expected response ...
Abstract representation of a Fly-By-Wire flight system. A flight control computer (FCC) is a primary component of the avionics system found in fly-by-wire aircraft. It is a specialized computer system that can create artificial flight characteristics and improve handling characteristics by automating a variety of in-flight tasks which reduce the workload on the cockpit flight crew.
Fly by wire, Fly-by-wire or Fly by Wire may refer to: Fly-by-wire (FBW), electronic flight control system; Fly by Wire, an album by Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin; Fly by Wire, a book about US Airways Flight 1549
One such key feature is the use of a fly-by-optics flight control system, which essentially replaces standard metal wiring with optical fiber cables. This has the effect of decreasing electro-magnetic disturbances to the sensors, in comparison to more common fly-by-wire control systems.
Experts say to delay your kid’s first smartphone. But maybe this holiday season is the one in which you will take the plunge. These guidelines can help.
Whole-person specialty care, a model where a comprehensive care team works together to coordinate personalized and individualized treatment, is offering renewed hope for patients.
The cockpit of the 777 is similar to 747-400, a fly-by-wire control simulating mechanical control. The fly-by-wire electronic flight control system of the Boeing 777 differs from the Airbus EFCS. The design principle is to provide a system that responds similarly to a mechanically controlled system. [10]
