Fly by wire technology

Fly by wire technology is the recent development in technology. This is the most advanced control system being used currently. This system uses electronic impulses to convey the pilot's commands. From there the commands are then sent to a onboard flight computer which converts the digital information to the hydraulic system or electric motors which move the control surface. This system is used in some of the military aircraft like the [[F-16, A320, X-29]]
