And another albeit analog FBW (FWIW, there was some consideration for a side stick controller also but engineers thought they were breaking enough new ground and deleted it. They did, however, add a force sensing mode to the yoke for jammed controls)

Now someone tell me why Boeing still needs to make moving yolks and throttles in a FBW aircraft???
