Summary
| Description |
English: F-8 Digital Fly-By-Wire aircraft in flight. The computer-controlled flight systems pioneered by the F-8 DFBW created a revolution in aircraft design. The F-117A, X-29, X-31, and many other aircraft have relied on computers to make them flyable. Built with inherent instabilities to make them more maneuverable, they would be impossible for human pilots to fly if the computers failed or received incorrect data.
Deutsch: F-8 Digital Fly-By-Wire Flugzeug im Flug. Die computergesteuerten Flugsysteme der F-8 haben das Flugzeugdesign revolutioniert. Die F-117A, X-29, X-31 und viele andere Flugzeuge haben sich auf Computer verlassen, um sie flugfähig zu machen. Mit inhärenten Instabilitäten gebaut, um sie wendiger zu machen, wäre es für menschliche Piloten unmöglich sie bei Computer-Ausfall zu fliegen. |
