  • Patent number: 5100081
    Abstract: An aircraft having a wing with trailing edge control flaps and with upwardly extending winglets at the outer wind ends, the winglets being provided with rudder surfaces, the craft has the usual control stick and left and right foot pedals, is improved by a cable directly connecting the rudder surfaces to the control stick for lateral control of the aircraft through operation of the rudder surfaces by the control stick. Another cable directly connects the trailing edge flaps to the foot pedals for further lateral control operation of the flaps through the foot pedals. The two cables are decoupled from each other and constructed so that the rudder surfaces can be controlled by the control stick even when the foot pedals hold the flaps in position, and the control flaps can be controlled by the foot pedals even if the control stick holds the rudder surfaces in position.
