- there is very limited manual reversion on the Airbus unlike the Boeing. The Airbus manual reversion allows you to maintain straight and level to reset one or more flight control computers. Airbus=total hydraulic failure=toast.
At the risk of turning this into a Boeing V Airbus bun fight, again. Please could someone explain what manual reversion there is in a modern Boeing compared to an Airbus In the event of a total hydraulic failure.


I'm not familiar with the B737NG. Is the manual reversion the same as the classic?

AFAIK all large modern jet transport require hydraulics for the flt controls to function. Barring the 737 perhaps.
