rudder...one more time please

capn bloggs

it would have been so simple to just answer the question. I had read the previous posts and am confused.

It would seem SOME airbus 330/200 series planes have mechanical links via hydraulics to the rudder

and that latter models have electrical controls of the rudder without mechanical links.

But electrical controls are different than electronic controls...at least in my world and understanding of the words.

So, someone other than capn bloggs, would you please clue me in?

Electrical implies no computer, but electrical control.

It may also interest some to know that the Airbus 330/300 has a smaller rudder and vertical stabilizer than the A330/200
