Proceedings of the Fly-by-Wire Flight Control System Conference, 16-17 December 1968.

Abstract

The results of fly-by-wire programs are outlined and a description of the B-47 fly-by-wire flight tests is given. Papers presented discuss the potential application of fly-by-wire for advanced fighters, large strategic bombers, and helicopters and outline the philosophy of redundancy, digital computation, handling qualities criterion and pilot acceptance as related to fly-by-wire flight control systems.
