Variable feel simulation

Abstract

VARIABLE FEEL SYSTEMS were developed to provide the pilots of high‐performance jet aircraft — equipped with powered flying controls — with simulated aerodynamic reaction forces at the controls. These systems provide the primary factor in determining the handling characteristics of the aircraft, and replace the “Natural feel” forces previously available in low‐speed aircraft, through the direct natural aerodynamic reaction at the controls.
