NH90 has four FBW-computers. Two digital and two analog. The two digital are the ones providing normal handling and upper modes. Digital#1 is the one in charge normally with Digital#2 in stand by, with no degradation in performance if #1 “goes sick”.
Analog #1 and #2 is pure backup, with reduced handling qualities, more or less no decoupling and no upper modes.
The four lanes isnt connected to a specific computer but is handled by a actuator control computer (two
ACC’s actually) that selects what signals to send to the actuators.
= NH90 have digital FBW with analog backup.
Analog FBW computers as main FBW Computers should be a long time since put in
Aircrafts.
Im sure all three mentioned have digital FBW.
