<p>Engineers involved in the program describe the research, development, and first testing of systems that control an aircraft by electrical signal rather than mechanical links. They explain the challenge of not only controlling the plane but doing so in a way acceptable to pilots. They also fill a gap in the literature by detailing the design of such systems rather than just the applications. The coverage is chronological from 1961 to 1973.
