Fly by wire????

erm bit of a daft question but i hope someone can supply a simple answer.

Watching a DVD with a feature about Eurofighter Typhoon. The pilot talks about it being ‘Fly by Wire’ and without a computer the aircraft wouldn’t fly! Ive heard this said about Stealth. So how exactly does the computer keep the aircraft flying when ‘physics’ says it should drop out of the sky! :confused: :confused:

Simple question i know but its been bugging me for ages…

Cheers 😮
