<p>Control apparatus, particularly exemplified by an aircraft force throttle, responsive to forces exerted thereon by a manual or an automatic operator to rotate a handle (4) rotatably mounted on one end of a control member (2) thereof, for example a throttle lever, to an angular position indicative visually and/or tactilely of a particular demand, for example thrust setting, on associated apparatus, for example a gas-turbine engine to be controlled thereby. Preferably the apparatus further includes means (23, 40, 41) for transferring the control member to and from a stowed position within a container (12), for example a cockpit console, depending on whether it is to be inoperable or operable respectively.</p> |
