B777 FBW flight envelope protection
G´day all.
I saw a DVD that had an explanation of the flight envelope protection that the B777 FBW system offers and got curious as to the reasons for Boeing to have that sort as compared to the Airbus philosophy. Is there any website or documentation available where one can follow the reasoning be it economical, philosophical, technical, standardization or some other reason or combination of reasons.
I know of a number of arguments for both "sides" and have seen info about Airbus decision to basically not allow a pilot to place the plane outside the flight envelope, but haven´t been able to find out why Boeing "only" gives the pilot aural, visual and tactile feedback apart from the A/T reaction (when armed) to slowing to a stall situation.
I´m not trying to stir up the seemingly never-ending debate of my-toy-is-better-than-yours, just looking for why Boeing went the way they did.
