ABSTRACT:
A force control member assembly 1 comprises a force control member unit 2 carried by an intermediate member 3, the intermediate member 3 itself being attached to a fixed bracket 4 by pivot means 5 allowing resilient movement of the intermediate member 3 with respect to the fixed bracket 4 about pitch and roll axes as shown at 6. The force control member unit 2 includes a force control member and force transducer means associated therewith to generate force control signals related to control forces applied to the force control member. In use, when a control force is applied to the control member, a force control signal will be generated simultaneously with a significant displacement of the intermediate member with respect to the fixed member. The intermediate member will return to a median position on removal of a control force; this imparts a `feel` characteristic to the assembly.
