To further enhance safety, Airbus also added a tail-strike protection feature to the A321neo flight control system (FCS) rotation law. Coined an "electronic tail bumper", the FCS system actively prevents a tail-strike as long as the stick is displaced less than three-quarters of the way aft. While full aft stick deflection can still cause a tail-strike, the modifications to the FCS should make real world take-off performance more closely match certification data.
