@mfahadnaimb: Watch the thrust levers on a 787 just… move by themselves. That’s the Thrust Management Function doing an autothrottle servo test on the ground. Two independent servo motors under the quadrant are driving the levers so we can confirm the loop is healthy before the airplane goes anywhere. Boeing still moves the actual levers. When A/T is working in flight you see them creep forward or back as the system holds speed or sets thrust. Airbus does it the other way. Levers sit in a detent and the computers talk straight to the engines. Both philosophies work. One gives you a moving picture of what thrust is doing. The other keeps the hardware still. #avgeek #boeing #boeing787 #aviation #b787
