I've kept my eyes open and haven't seen much info about the FBW system in the 525 other than it's triple redundant and a derivative of Bell's tilt rotor work.

Does anybody have any more information about it? I'm curious about what kind of software/computing redundancy is used (I did some work with Boeing and with the safety cert guy from the 777 and was impressed that they used 3 dissimilar processor chips to avoid computer architecture bugs causing issues among other strategies).

What kinds of strategies are used to avoid RF induced interference? (thinking of the UH60 issues flying near radio/tv broadcast towers).

Is it safe to assume that the hydraulic system is conventional, and only the command of the servos is FBW?

Maybe a pointer to any articles/white papers on the design of the FBW system?

Thanks!
