Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel!
.... So the best-known feature of the Airbus fly-by-wire system is the sidestick. I did a whole video on the sidestick, which you might wanna checkout right here. So by moving the sidestick, you actually move mechanical levers and dampers which sit below the sidestick and this movement gets converted into a digital signal. Okay, let's say we were to make a left turn. Our left turn digital signal then runs by wire to a set of seven Flight control computers. The first one is ELAC 1. Which stands for Elevator and Aileron Computer. ELAC 2 acts as a backup in case ELAC 1 fails. So the ELAC 1 checks the received digital signal, before sending it off to the flight control surface. What I mean by "checking the signal" you'll see in a minute. So from ELAC our left turn digital signal then yet again runs through a wire/electric cable to one of the hydraulic actuators on the left-hand aileron and on the right-hand aileron, where our digital signal is then converted into a mechanical force moving the left-hand aileron upwards and the right-hand aileron downwards. Does that make sense so far?
I hope you enjoy the video and it’s been helpful to you!
Thank you very much for your time!
Wishing you all the best!
Your "Captain" Joe

@@flywithcaptainjoe please could you do one about navigating overall. As in GPS waypoints, SID’s/STAR’s etc and maybe different types of approaches

[@BORDERMAN2000]

Probably using loron c

[@Bartonovich52]

Before GPS it was LORAN, OMEGA, and Inertial Navigation which was from about the 1960s. Before that, it was dead reckoning using a drift sight and flight computer like an E6B and making sun/star shots with a solar compass or a sextant. Errors were often significant and cumulative.. but usually good enough with the forecast upper winds from all of the weather ships to enable you to home in on a VOR or NDB which had ranges of a couple hundred miles.

Thanks Joe, I’m working on a qualification project (EPQ) in college, regarding the automation and technological advancements of aircraft from 1912- the future, this will certainly be a good source of information for the segment on fly by wire controls! Keep it up :)

[@lennertpostert4404]

Joe, what an amazing video. I’m an Aeronautical Engineering student at the German military university in Munich, to become a military pilot. Basically, you just summarized what we had as an introduction to instrumentation and control engineering. Our professor used to work for Airbus and therefore he took the Fly by wire-system as an example to explain how control loops work. I’m amazed that you addressed so many details in a video that is not primarily intended for engineering students. I think your content is extremely helpful for anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge in aviation and I’d be lying if I said that your educational and motivational videos hadn’t been very helpful to myself to keep on going when university gets tough. Thanks for your awesome work!

Now you've done it. You'll have to do four other videos explaining what are stall, overspeed, spin and overbank... You _did_ do it on purpose, didn"t you? :p

[@gabrielsimon7944]

A stall is when the stream of air flowing over the wings “detaches” from the wing and turns from laminar flow to turbulent flow. The rest are pretty self explanatory.

[@francisgaliegue6645]

@@gabrielsimon7944 sorry but no, this does not explain anything at all. I know about Navier-Stokes equations, which ultimately describe all of these phenomena, but knowing about the theory and how it translates into the real world is quite different...

[@patolt1628]

@@francisgaliegue6645 I don't understand what you are expecting. Stall as explained by many pilots (and Gabriel Simon) is clear. What happens in the real world? The airplane simply falls down since there is no more lift. No need of equations to understand that. Spin is an asymmetrical stall: one wing stalls before the other and the aircraft goes into a spin (there are many videos dealing with this physical phenomenon). Overspeed and overbank are self meaning, aren't they?
