Fly-By-Wire Market Size, Growth & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Application (Commercial, Military, Business Jet, helicopter, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and Experimental Aircraft), By Aircraft Type (Narrow Body, Wide Body, Helicopter, Others), By Component (Flight Control Computer, Sensors, Actuators, FBW control Laws, Cockpit Control, and Data Bus), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global fly-by-wire market is seeing remarkable growth, with a significant CAGR forecasted throughout the period up to 2032. Fly-By-Wire (FBW) is a control system used in modern aircraft to replace conventional manual flight control with an electronic interface. It enables precise and efficient plane management using sensors, computers, and actuators.

Fly-by-wire systems offer improved safety by providing flight envelope protection and stability augmentation. They can automatically prevent the aircraft from entering dangerous flight regimes, reducing the risk of accidents. FBW also allows for more precise control inputs, reducing the pilot error.

Fly-by-wire technology offers significant market advantages, including improved safety, weight reduction, maintenance cost saving, design flexibility, flight control optimization, pilot training commonality, and integration of advanced technologies. These insights have driven the widespread adoption of FBW systems in modern aircraft across various aviation industry sectors.

Fly-By-Wire Market Segmentation

Recent Developments

• In December 2022, Microsoft Flight Simulator’s freeware A320neo by Fly-By-Wire Simulations was updated to version 0.9.0.  The aircraft supports SimBridge, allowing Fly-By-Wire to ‘utilize external systems more easily,’ such as company route support and MCDU remote display.


• In August 2020, BAE Prepared for Fly-by-Wire Tests on eVTOL Aircraft. BAE Systems is advancing plans to provide lightweight fly-by-wire (FBW) flight controls for several eVTOL aircraft already under development.  Reducing the size and weight of flight control systems is a key goal of BAE in the eVTOL.
