airbus dead stick landing
Regarding the A330 that made an emergency landing, I am curious to know how the flight controls on the Airbus continue to provide command to the flight surfaces with no power; is this provided from the apu? Would the pilot be able to flare before landing? Would Boeing aircraft require power as well, or is there a physical backup in the linkage? I am not trying to start a flame war re Airbus/Boeing I am genuinely interested in how this works. Can anyone recommend a website or book that explains this? Thanks.
