← TechnologyIn a fly-by-wire aircraft, which consequence results following the disconnection of both primary elevon control cables?
A)Automatic switching to direct link
B)Loss of flight control authority✓
C)Emergency flaps full deployment occurs
D)Engine thrust immediately cuts back
💡 Explanation
A loss of control occurs because redundant hydraulic or electrical pathways within fly-by-wire systems rely on continuous signals relayed through intact control cables using the Force feedback mechanism; therefore, disconnection severs the signal pathway, rather than activating mechanical backups due to cable failure.
