Side Stick Feel
Standard Requirement and Limits for Side Stick Feel
Have any Standards been developed for the feel of Side Sticks.?
One of the first Side Sticks was developed for the F-16 which has feel of 3 pnds per g with a top limit of 27 pnds. Initially the F-16 side stick had no movement and test pilots were unable to feel when they had reached 27 pnds. This led to the introduction of movement and a stop at 27 pnds. This can only be described as straight spring feel having no sense of IAS.
Have any Standard Requirements been developed for Side Stick Feel including Left and Right systems?
