Abstract
An aircraft flight control apparatus includes a control input device comprising a moveable control input component and a feeling feedback apparatus. A processing apparatus is arranged to use user information to determine a control input profile and generate at least one aircraft control signal and/or control the feeling feedback apparatus to apply force to the control input component. The processing apparatus is arranged to generate the at least one aircraft control signal and/or control the feeling feedback apparatus based at least partially on the control input profile.
Claims16
An aircraft flight control apparatus comprising:
- a control input device comprising a moveable control input component arranged to generate one or more electrical input signals based on movement of said control input component and a feeling feedback apparatus arranged to apply force to the control input component;
- an input interface for receiving user information of a user of the aircraft flight control apparatus;
- and
- a processing apparatus arranged to:
- receive user information via the input interface, and use said user information to determine a control input profile;
- receive one or more electrical input signals from the control component and generate at least one aircraft control signal based on said one or more electrical input signals;
- and/or
- control the feeling feedback apparatus to apply force to the control input component;
- wherein the processing apparatus is arranged to generate the at least one aircraft control signal and/or control the feeling feedback apparatus based at least partially on the control input profile.
