Full Description:

F-8C Digital-Fly-By-Wire Control System was first tested in 1972. The use of electrical and mechanical systems to replace hydraulic systems for aircraft control surface actuation was flight-tested. Today widely used by commercial 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
