ABSTRACT:
A hand-operated control system for aircraft comprises a push-pull cable operatively connected between a hand-operated actuator and an orientation means that controls the orientation of the aircraft during flight. The actuator is mounted on an existing hand-operated control in the cockpit of the aircraft with sufficient slack in the cable to permit independent operation of the control cable and existing control. The control system provides a redundant control system for pedal-operated controls, thereby allowing wounded pilots, paraplegics, and others to control pedal functions by hand manipulation of an actuator on an already existing hand-operated control.
