ABSTRACT:
An aircraft fly-by-wire flight controller requiring essentially only hand motion or rotation about a fixed center point residing in the centerline of the palm grip of the pilot's hand to thereby avoid problems with arm movement, and wherein the flight controller consists of a formed grip to fit the grasp of the fingers and palm of the hand, permit finger and/or thumb access to all switches carried by the grip, and reduce fatigue by concentrating the fore and aft pitch control movement and the lateral roll control movement in the normal palm grip center point.
