ABSTRACT:
A control stick assembly for dual control of aircraft includes a single control stick for longitudinal and lateral orientation of the aircraft. The stick is mounted on the center of the aircraft by a joint permitting lateral and longitudinal movement by a crossbar mounted on the stick. The crossbar is hinged vertically above the joint and is tiltable freely in a vertical plane. Grips are mounted on crossbar and located in front of each of the pilot and copilot so that each may control the aircraft through a single stick. The stick is connected to appropriate linkages to move the ailerons and elevator of an airplane or the rotor blades of a helicopter.
