Title :
Aircraft side hand controllers-where to from here?
Abstract :
Current side hand controllers are passive fly-by-wire devices with two or three control axes, usually associated with a spartan armrest. Alternatives are considered for biomechanical interface improvements before moving to serial implementation of actuation for smart-stick multiaccess multiaxis controllers. Possible improvements are proposed to provide harmonious, smart-active hand controllers for future high-performance applications. It is suggested that these must be based on an optimum biomechanical man-machine interface before the advantages of active control can be realized
