Answer: In a fly-by-wire aircraft, the pilot inputs commands via a sidestick or yoke to a computer. The computer then directs the hydraulic or electric actuator to deflect a flight control surface.

Any time you change a flight control’s mass, it negatively affects the speed at which the flight control can flutter. The mass of a flight control can change due to drain holes getting plugged as well ...
