Fly by Wire (FBW) is a technology used in avionics that replaces the traditional mechanical control systems with an electronic interface. It is used to control the aircraft's flight surfaces, such as the ailerons, elevators, and rudder, as well as other systems, such as the engines and landing gear. FBW systems are designed to be more reliable and efficient than traditional mechanical systems, and they can also be used to reduce the workload of the pilot. FBW systems are used in a variety of aircraft, from small general aviation aircraft to large commercial airliners. They are also used in military aircraft, such as fighter jets and helicopters. The technology is becoming increasingly popular in the avionics industry, as it offers improved safety, reliability, and efficiency. Some of the major companies in the FBW market include Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Thales, and Garmin. These companies provide FBW systems for a variety of aircraft, from small general aviation aircraft to large commercial airliners. Show Less Read more
