Embraer to gradually expand KC-390’s fly-by-wire envelope

Embraer has crafted a plan to gradually expand the envelope of the fly-by-wire system on board the KC-390 and eventually authorize higher modes for its BAE Systems active side control sticks.

During the maiden flight of the jet, the pilots flew the aircraft using direct law for the fly-by-wire system.
