PRIMARY CONTROLLER DESIGNS FOR JET TRANSPORTS.

Abstract

Several alternative primary flight controller designs were developed with the objectives of providing improved panel visibility and increased comfort compatible with good handling qualities. The designs were rated by a panel of 12 pilot-evaluators. The results indicate that all of the designs are acceptable. Three designs -- the Dual Side-Arm, the Yoke with a Vernier Handle, and the Circumferential Drive with a Vernier Handle, met with sufficiently high acceptance that their further development and evaluation is warranted.
