It's fly-by-wire. Uncontrollable in a power loss scenario.
- jillesvangurp 5y agoLike most modern jets. Fly by wire is quite common. Also, in many recent cars, the steering column is no longer mechanically coupled to the wheels. Power loss scenarios are bad, which is why people mitigate against such things with all sorts of redundancies. And of course mechanical connections can fail too.
