Aircraft Feature; Fly-By-Wire Technology Fly by wire is a new technology in aircrafts that has replaced the manual flight control with electronic controls. In this technology the flight control signals are converted into electrical signals which are transmitted to the processors through electric wires and the computer determines the movement of the actuators according to the control command (Crane 2002). Moreover, this system sends out certain commands to the computer without any input from the
