Archer has released a short video providing an overview of the fly-by-wire flight control concepts being developed as part of their eVTOL programme.

According to Archer’s YouTube channel: “Flight control systems translate pilot intent into aircraft movement. We’re using fly-by-wire flight controls to remove the need for hydraulic plumbing, simplifying the operation of our eVTOL aircraft while improving performance and safety. Learn more about how we’re reimagining what fly-by-wire can really do from Archer Principal Systems Engineer, Fernanda Paiva”.
