Airbus is definitely a civilian manufacturer and all their aircraft are strictly fly-by-wire. But as far as I know they are at least dynamically stable, unlike many combat aircraft and the 737 Max.

Update after reading na85's comment: The 737 Max is dynamically stable.

Also apparently a few Airbus models are not FbW.

Only the legacy ones before the A320, namely the A300 and A310. Not really relevant nowadays.
