Chief CaptainA fly-by-wire system literally replaces physical control of the aircraft with an electrical interface. The pilot's commands are converted to electronic signals, and flight control computers determine how best to move the actuators at each control surface to provide the desired response. Those actuators initially are usually hydraulic, but electric actuators have been investigated.
