  • Force feedback mechanism of an aircraft handling mini-stick and device for handling an aircraft having such a mechanism
    Patent number: 11104418
    Abstract: The force feedback device includes a stationary housing intended to be secured to an understructure of an aircraft, at least one spring opposing movement of a side-stick of the aircraft relative to the housing, and a transmission mechanism, which is supported by the housing movably and which is suitable for transmitting a rotational movement, around a first rotation axis, between the side-stick and said at least one spring, by applying a force law according to which a resistive force, opposed by said at least one spring, via the transmission mechanism, against the rotational movement of the side-stick around the first rotation axis, depends on an angular position of the side-stick around the first rotation axis.
