feel system


One method of providing feel is by having an artificial feel system. In the above figure, artificial feel system on a combat aircraft is shown. The force output of the springs is a function of the indicated air speed and altitude in this case. The spring force increases proportionally with the increase in indicated air speed and altitude. The force exerted by the springs is maximum as the aircraft attains pre-determined values of indicated air speed and aircraft altitude.
