SA also flew FBW systems on the X-2 and UH-60MU.
Funny that the article states that BAE supplies the FBW “system, or subsystem”. This is equivalent to the company supplying an engine’s FADEC being responsible for supplying the aircraft’s propulsion system. Not taking anything away from BAE, but they primarily only provide the FCCs. The system architecture and control law software falls under the primes. Actuation, power generation, etc, falls to other suppliers.
