摘要

A digital power controller (10) for an aircraft having a computer controlled propulsion system is disclosed. A movable handle (40) is in electronic communication with a computer (74) of the propulsion system. The handle is positionable in a neutral location for maintaining the aircraft at a substantially constant velocity and for resetting power command functions. The handle (40) is also positionable in locations forward the neutral location for commanding increasing acceleration rates of the aircraft. The handle is positionable in locations aft the neutral location for commanding increasing deceleration rates of the aircraft. A switch (64) associated with the movable handle is engagable at the forward end aft positions for commanding velocity hold and for permitting reposition of the handle to the neutral location for resetting power command functions.
