The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL) The KGB Back Room Boeing 787 First Delivery

All Boeing commercial aircraft use fly by wire. Airbus uses fly by wire, but it has a notorious black box that overrides the pilots all the time. It is what has caused several Airbus planes to go down and be lost when they get in the coffin corner of situations.

You would think that Drakiis, but we have to be very careful about leveraging Government paid for R&D into commercial applications. It is a form of illegal subsidies, and Boeing and Airbus do serious battle in the World Trade Organization courts over exactly that issue.

I know the government reassesses the technologies yearly to determine security concerns and will allow some technologies to go commercial when sufficient time passes, all dependent on the technology in question of course.
