Talking NH90

I can confirm that the NH90 has NO side-sticks. There has been development testing on the side-stick control for the NH90 in the 90's, but in the end it was decided not to go ahead with it.

My personal opinion, working within the NH90 program, is that side-sticks would have been very good in a modern helicopter as the NH90. Presently there is not a possibility to fit them anymore, because on the right side of the pilots there are now two panels with a Cursor Control Unit (rollerball) and an Auxilliary Keyboard that are used to interface with the tactical system.
