Fly-by-wire for the DA42

Diamond Aircraft is close to flying a fly-by-wire version of its Austro-diesel-powered DA42 twin. At Wiener Neustadt, a test project is underway in the company's Multi-Platform division that included a conventional stick but electric servos to operate control surfaces. This will be incorporated into the autopilot and it will eventually evolve to include both flight envelope protection and full auto-land capability for the DA42.
