Yes. Absolutely yes. If you want to explore the mathematical intricacy behind FBW system, I can also provide an introduction.
Projecting much?
I did not miss the points you've made. In fact, I pointed them out one-by-one and explained why your idea of FBW is not how FBW actually functions. I explained as carefully as possible why your assumptions don't work. Your ignoring of what I've said and insistence that your idea is the right one does not make me missed your point. Like I have said, I encourage you to go read upon this subject.
FBW can only work within the confine of data provided by the sensors. Hence, when the Inertial Measurement Units cannot distinguish between acceleration by air or ground, then the FBW does not know whether the aircraft is in takeoff mode or already in the air. Air data sensors cannot provide this information either, as different airport has different altitude and you cannot depend on air pressure (which is dynamic) to determine if the aircraft is taking off.
No. You keep on saying I claim FBW counteracts momentum, yet I have corrected you time and time again that FBW responds to acceleration, and that the FBW thinks it is responding to air disturbance when it rolls along uneven surface on the ground. At no time did I claim that the FBW is tasked to force the aircraft to be level if the aircraft reaches an incline, if that's what you are insinuating me to be saying. I specifically pointed out in my reply to delft that responses from the FBW while the aircraft is on the ground would be the same responses as if the aircraft is flying at stall speed. Perhaps you should make sure you grasp people's points before accusing others of missing yours.
And how can you expect me to not treat you as not knowledgeable in the subject if you can't even differentiate between momentum (kg m/s), acceleration (m/s2) and force (kg m/s2)?
Those are basic stuffs. You're being childish to think that people here don't know this basic terms of mechanics. And no one is interested in the maths of FBW here and I'm sure you're not the only one here who can understand it. You seem to be going all over the place again outside the point I was trying to make.
Let me get direct to the point again and don't try to stray to the stuffs which I'm not interested.
Just answer this questions. My contention has always been that maintaining a level flight path parallel to the ground is not what a FBW system should be programmed to do during a takeoff.
Why on earth would you want the FBW to make the flight path as level as possible to the ground during takeoff? Wouldn't an upward movement of the aircraft due to whatever reason (which could be the runway's unseen mini ski jumps which are usually present in most runways) make the friction of the wheels lesser? Is it not that a counteracting force (which itself will increase drag due to a sudden change in air flow) to make the flight path back to the set-level again would actually increase the force on the wheels resulting in an increase of friction and increasing the drag on the aircraft? Wouldn't that be counterproductive? Again, just answer this questions and nothing else as I don't want to drag this discussion any longer.
