And then there is a "Feel" unit that provides the stick with the proper feedback to make it feel like the stick is connected directly to the surfaces. Without the hydraulics involved -the forces acting against the surfaces would be so great that the pilot would never be able to move them at speed.
But I still believe this (dual engine) can be accomplished electronically in this situation. And the clutch would be a problem even if you drove them from one master cylinder. You would need a proportioning valve -and how would you control that? Differences in inside linings of the hydraulic lines could vary the dividing of fluid. Small differences in cylinders could also make a difference as well as the lengths of hyd lines. And the pressure "feedback" from the clutch itself depending upon wear may cause differences in the engagement. There are too many variables to not have some sort of smart proportioning system involved.
