How exactly does the apparent speed-stability of the Airbus A220 work?


The Airbus A220/Bombardier C-series utilizes the C*U fly-by-wire flight control law, which is similar to the ones used in the 777/787.

Now, I don’t understand much about the C*U flight control laws, but I understand that it has apparent speed-stability, which makes it behave like a conventional aircraft.

My question is: With a side stick that has no force-feedback, how do the pilots "feel" the plane? I am sorry if this sounds a bit dumb, but shouldn’t the stick be stiffer/softer at different speeds? How does the plane achieve that with a side stick that has no force feedback?

We will be happy to hear your thoughts
