Pilot control system with compact gimbal mechanism

摘要

According to one embodiment, a control assembly (200) includes a first gimbal (260) and a second gimbal (270). The first gimbal (260) is rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The first gimbal (260) comprises a first linkage attachment point offset from the first axis of rotation. The second gimbal (270) is rotatably coupled to the first gimbal (260) and rotatable relative to the first gimbal (260) about a second axis of rotation. The second gimbal (270) comprises a second linkage attachment point offset from the second axis of rotation and a control shaft attachment point.
