Patent ID: 8814103

Claim:
An aircraft control system comprising: a first feedback assembly movable relative to a mechanical ground; a first stick movable relative to the mechanical ground and the first feedback assembly, wherein: a) a first stick position is the position of the first stick relative to the mechanical ground; b) a first feedback position is the position of the first feedback assembly relative to the mechanical ground; and c) a first relative error is the first stick position minus the first feedback position; and a second feedback assembly movable relative to the mechanical ground; a second stick movable relative to the mechanical ground and the second feedback assembly, wherein: a) a second stick position is the position of the second stick relative to the mechanical ground; b) a second feedback position is the position of the second feedback assembly relative to the mechanical ground; and c) a second relative error is the second stick position minus the second feedback position; and a control arrangement including a cross-coupled mode in which the control arrangement provides first and second feedback position commands to position the first and second feedback assemblies wherein the first feedback position command is equal to the second relative error and the second feedback position command is equal to the first relative error.
