Active Control

Stirling Dynamics Ltd has over 15 years of experience in design and manufacture of Active Controllers. We know that our customer base has wide-ranging requirements and that we need to be versatile to fit with these needs. Stirling can provide off-the-shelf standard products or custom solutions for a particular need.

 

Advantages of ACT:

  • Real-time control of force-feel
  • Smooth, high quality feel
  • Improved feedback to user (e.g. flight envelope restrictions, tactile cues)
  • Carefree handling
  • Linking without the need for mechanical linkages
Dynamic control of the force-feedback characteristics significantly enhances the aircraft-pilot interface, opening up a wide range of potential advantages.  The flight control computer can alert the pilot to flight envelope restrictions, weather conditions, or indicate the severity of a particular manoeuvre.  Since the controller can also be 'backdriven', it is readily configured for coupled, twin-cockpit operation.
