Boeing 777 and 787 augmentation during takeoff

Boeing does not offer automatic takeoff, but for the 777 and 787 flight control augmentation is active during takeoff to improve handling qualities. In the yaw axis both models provide augmented rudder control to reduce the airplane yaw response in the event of an engine failure. In the pitch axis the 777-300 and the 787 provide tail strike protection to reduce the likelihood of tailstrike for early or overly agressive rotations.
