If you want to take your flight sim experience to the next level, a HOTAS – hands-on throttle and stick – setup will make aviation a hundred times easier and more immersive than using a controller or ...

Garmin has released an IFR-designed GFC 600H flight control system for helicopters, now featuring four-axis capability through the addition of collective control and a stability augmentation system.

Modern aerospace engineering increasingly relies on the seamless integration of advanced performance modelling with state‐of‐the‐art flight control systems. These systems optimise aerodynamic ...

Skyryse has introduced the Skyryse One, the first production fly-by-wire helicopter, designed to drastically simplify piloting by replacing complex traditional controls with a single control stick and ...

Electric actuators replace hydraulics in full-flight simulators while still maintaining that aircraft “feel.” • Full-flight simulators (FFS) replicate the real “feel” of the simulated aircraft. • A 12 ...
