[quote=YINDUFFY,293959]The term "fly by wire" refers to the use of electronic signals being sent by wire to servo motors to move the planes control surfaces. The older style was for a cable or wire connected between the pilots control column (joystick) and foot pedals. The ailerons, elevators and rudder were all moved by the muscle power of the pilot. Later power assist systems were used on the cables for larger aircraft like airliners or bombers. In the F-16 the pilot moved the controls and a computer senses the movement and the tells the motors which control surface to move and how much. The precision flying demonstrated by the USAF Thunderbird flight demonstration team is a result of pilot skill.[/quote]
