A fly-by-wire system that lets a single-engine aircraft mimic multi-engine behavior for real-flight pilot training, especially asymmetric thrust effects that create yaw/roll. A cockpit central thrust control with two independent thrust levers generates an overall power command plus a dissymmetry signal; a calculator applying a dedicated control law converts these into corrected setpoints for the rudder, left/right ailerons, and propeller parameters to reproduce multi-engine handling. Instructors may trigger a simulated engine failure and then reset back to normal single-engine operation. Optional wingtip electric thrusters powered by a battery may increase asymmetric effects while maintaining safety margin, and the system may display/record simulated multi-engine data for debriefing—reducing training cost and CO2 versus operating real twins
