Two axes controller

摘要: A two axis controller for controlling a tanker aircraft in-flight refueling boom while maneuvering prior to engagement with the receiver and including load alleviation system after engagement. Movement of control stick is transmitted mechanically position transducer. The transducer provides signal an actuator effect control. output also servo motor which connected stick. During free flight mode, when operator manually boom, resisting force movement that varies as function signal. Following coupling airplanes, initiates automatic system, same back drives in response signals alleviate forces. Manual override possible at any time.
