ABSTRACT:
A simulator handgrip is connected to the shaft of a slip clutch which offers resistance to handgrip displacement, thereby simulating the "feel" of an actual thrust control for aircraft. Linkages are provided for measuring the amount of handgrip displacement as an electrical signal that may be utilized by a simulator computer. Adjustment devices are provided for moving the handgrip and clutch devices along a diagonal direction to accommodate pilots of different height.
