In the patent of the C*U an airspeed sensitive control column feel is mentioned.

I wonder how does it work, exactly. (similar to the artificial feel of a typical airliner such as a 767)? I deem that it is not like the Airbus sidestick, which feels always the same no matter what the speed is.

Also I have seen that there is a short period damping signal included in the system, so that keeping the column deflected will have a much different effect than on an airbus, and very similar to a conventional airplane.

In the bus, the elevators and THS would give the command g load continually, until reaching a limit triggering the corresponding protection (AoA or high speed).

In the 777 it seems that the pitch rate will soon become zero, and the flight path become 1g at a different speed and angle of attack, similarly to a conventional airplane. Am I right?
