Summary

DescriptionF-8C FBW.jpg	English: F-8C Digital-Fly-By-Wire Control System was first tested in en:1972. The use of electrical and mechanical systems to replace en:hydraulic systems for aircraft control surface actuation was flight-tested. Today widely used by commercial en:airliners, the Digital-Fly-By-Wire Control System allows for better maneuver control, smoother rides, and for military aircraft, a higher combat survivability. For more information please read James Tomayko’s book Computers Take Flight:A History of NASA's Pioneering Digital Fly-By-Wire Project (NASA SP-2000-4224), which can be found here.

Image title	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.
