Good Avionics God In Heaven...!!! In all my years of serving You, my Lord, in and out of the military, never have I heard such nonsense and from a civilian at that.
Civilian? Pauleeeez!
Address me Dr Civilian, Dr Speeder actually, soilder !
Speedy, pal. You are way out of your league. Fly by wire IS move by wire. There are NO mechanical linkages between the pilot and the rest of the aircraft. All commands MUST be routed through the flight control computer. There are no on/off switch for this. The only mechanical actuators in the system are by the surfaces themselves and they are hydraulics.
Yes,
pal, I may be out of my league in some specific military knowhow where you have an edge ( and I appreciate it) ,
but you are way out of your league in general knowledge level that this case is also concerned.
OKE, assume that it is correct that no mechnical linkage btw pilot and machine, only FBW,
no problem.
All commands go to FBW, ok,
no problem.
But
"There are no on/off switch for this" you said ? --->>>
Bullshit! There might not be any hardware switches, but FBW software , like all other software codes,
is full of "what -if " soft switches.
There are no such 'button'. If there is such a 'button' and if it is in 'off' position, pray tell how are the actuators going to move?
No such thing as 'flight controls laws' you say?
Read and see how foolish you look.
FBW is full of
soft buttons and rules via
"if -then " codes, where I am
100% certain as general logic dictates that FBW rules differently when the said plane is in different speed modes; and
I am 100% certain that FBW can identify the current speed of the plane ( "if "), and act accordingly to a slightly different rules ( "then"), particularly in the situation where it is prefectly understandable and logical for the plane to have completely set of flexibilities when at still or near still speed , say between 0 and 10 mph, or even between 0 and 5 mph, as per the photo.
Get a grip!
