I'm studying flight control systems and am researching the Airbus A320 since it was the first commercial aircraft to adopt a Fly-by-Wire (FBW) flight control system.
I have a question that has been bugging me, and I cannot seem to find an answer on the net.
If the two pilots both move their side sticks at the same time (perhaps in different directions) what does the aircraft do? How does the computers know which signal to take?
Its probably a simple answer for the people in the know (i.e. you guys), but there isn't much info on the net about it!
Cheers
