The fly-by-wire system is relatively new — earlier planes required mechanical linkage — and so a new law needed to pass in order for the system to be used.
The flexibility is made possible by eliminating any mechanical linkage between the gas pedal and the engine.
Mr. Langewiesche, whose "Outlaw Sea" came out in the spring, cautioned, "It is important not to draw a mechanical linkage between dangerous ships and this flag".
He studied theoretical mechanics and devoted much attention to the problem of obtaining rectilinear motion from rotary motion by mechanical linkage.
In very sophisticated modern aircraft, there is no direct mechanical linkage between the pilot's controls and the control surfaces; instead they are actuated by electric motors.
To demonstrate this method, a case study considering mechanical linkage servo press is carried out.
The big ergonomic misstep is Audi's first electronic shifter, whose by-wire operation replaces the conventional mechanical linkage.
–Mechanical linkage failure.
As discussed below, this result has substantial affect on the observed mechanical linkage properties.
In this sense, we explore the existence of a mechanical linkage between immigration and trade.
