Default Is the 757 fly by wire?

1) Yes.
2) Of course, That's how Cheney managed to remotely pilot one into the
Pentagon.
3) No. The only FBW Boeing is the 777, the 757 uses conventional
cables and hydraulics.

Votes please...

It's not FBW


Bertie


if the throttle control goes through an ecu (probably a plc) isn't it

at
least partially fly by wire?



Nope.


as there is no cable involved (since WWII probably when still thick

wire
controls) and its all electro mechanical/hydraulic isn't it fly by

wire?


There is a cable, or else it would be FBW and I would have said so.

Keep up.


as the FMCS is fully capable of flying the plane is it not fly by wire
during the duration of FMCS control?

I mean in the broader sense of the phrase.



No, read my lips.




obviously there seems parrallel control on the 757 rather than on

airbus
which is full fly by wire as joystick goes to FMCS but on 757 it has
both, and the FMCS unless turned off is always doing a bit of fly by
wire....



It isn't parralell control. It's is a conventional mechanicla hydraulic
control system with a relatively sophisticated autopilot that flies the
airplane through that system, period.
