Abstract
A yoke for controlling the attitude of an aircraft is provided. The yoke includes a chassis, a pitch hub, a roll hub, a support column, a control wheel and a connection arrangement. The pitch hub rotatably mounts to the chassis. The roll hub rotatably mounts to the chassis for motion being generally parallel to the pitch hub. The support column attaches to the pitch hub for rotational motion with the pitch hub relative to the chassis. The control wheel pivotally attaches to the support column for rotational motion about a control wheel pivot axis being generally perpendicular to the pitch and roll hubs. The connection arrangement couples the control wheel to the roll hub and is configured to rotate the roll hub about the roll axis when the control wheel is rotated about the control wheel pivot axis. A system including interconnected yokes is also provided.
