NBAA: Safran reveals active sidestick development project - 10/22/2014 - Flight Global

"The dual sidesticks are also electronically linked, so the co-pilot’s stick imitates the movements of the pilot’s control inputs. In a sense, it reintroduces the aircraft feedback loop normally associated with mechanically-linked control systems into a new generation of fly-by-wire aircraft.
At the moment, Sagem has not signed up any customers, although it has briefed Dassault, Airbus, Boeing and the French air force, says Phillippe Arnaud, senior vice-president of sales and marketing for Sagem."
"Incorporating a number of proprietary Sagem innovations, this side stick controller features very high dispatch reliability, a robust design that stands up to all types of contingencies and an optimized architecture supporting the real-time adjustment of force feel laws. Thanks to its stick shaker / Stick pusher function and the fine synchronization between all side stick units, this system greatly facilitates pilot/co-pilot coordination and the management of stressful situations."
