The OP asked about general aviation planes, where hydraulics would be totally unfeasible but electric servos would perfectly provide a control force comparable to a human. Thus, in my opinion, it is only a matter of time for a GA producer to come up with FBW to improve handling and safety. | |

| Aug 24, 2020 at 23:06 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | I'm not clear what this adds to what the OP already acknowledged... theoretically possible, etc. The question has some rather specific inquiries, and "drones do this already" doesn't address those. | |
