FBWjärjestelmän

FBWjärjestelmän, or Fly-by-Wire system, is an electronic flight control system used in modern aircraft. In a traditional mechanical flight control system, pilot inputs are transmitted to the control surfaces through a series of cables, pulleys, and rods. Fly-by-wire replaces this mechanical linkage with an electronic interface.

When a pilot moves a control stick or yoke, sensors detect the movement and convert it into electrical signals. These signals are then processed by flight control computers. The computers interpret the pilot's commands and send corresponding electrical signals to actuators, which are motors that move the aircraft's control surfaces like ailerons, elevators, and rudder.

One of the main advantages of FBWjärjestelmän is its ability to enhance aircraft safety and performance. The flight control computers can implement flight envelope protection, preventing the pilot from exceeding the aircraft's structural or aerodynamic limits. They can also provide stability augmentation and control of complex flight maneuvers, making the aircraft easier to fly and more responsive.

FBWjärjestelmän also allows for weight reduction by eliminating the need for heavy mechanical components and can be integrated with other aircraft systems, such as autopilot and navigation systems, for more sophisticated control. The system is designed with redundancy to ensure continued operation in case of component failure.
