The basic idea of a force feedback yoke is to move the yoke in conjunction with onscreen action. For example, if you're making a turn, the forces on the yoke would feel harder as you increase the bank. Or if you crashed your plane in a flight simulator, the yoke would push back suddenly. A Force feedback yoke has most of the same components as a regular one, with a few important additions -- an onboard microprocessor, a couple of electrical motors and either a gear train or belt system. Moreover, it can reproduce all the movements the autopilot is generating, hence giving the yoke the

impression to move by an invisible hand. Flight illusion's Force Feedback Yoke is the very first yoke to do this. It is made from aluminium and powered by 2 electromotors.

The defelcetion if the shaft is 19 cm (which is the same in real planes) and the yoke can turn 180° left and right of its centre position.

The shaft will is extended in order to allow fitting of the yoke behind a panel (for new projects or retrofiiting)

The final version will have an electrical trim, auto-pilot disconnect and com button. Several yokes will be adaptable (General aviation, business plane, airliner)
