Having never worked on fast jets when in the RAF, I am curious as to whether the FBW systems fitted to Typhoon, F-16, F-18, Rafale, Gripen etc incorporate any kind of artificial feel system?
Having followed some "spirited" debates on PPRune, as regards the differing approaches to FBW adopted by Airbus and Boeing, it certainly seems that many people have very strong opinions as to which philosophy is perferable.
I would be particularly interested in hearing the views of anyone who has flown both FBW fast jets and Airbus or 777 (or ideally all 3).
