Directional haptic seat cues reduce pilot tuning-out of visual and audio alerts while improving awareness of object location.
Variable force profiles let pilots feel inceptor mode transitions, reducing confusion and visual checking in fly-by-wire aircraft.
Distributed aircraft components add position- or velocity-based supplemental attitude to counter drift and avoid single-point fly-by-wire failure.
A single eVTOL inceptor replaces multiple cockpit controls, cutting weight and footprint while maintaining control through hover, transition, and forward flight.
Normalizing and prioritizing pilot, autopilot, voice, and remote inputs helps eVTOL flight controls stay operable with dissimilar command sources.
Consistent input mapping lets tilt-thrust aircraft transition between hover and airplane flight with lower pilot workload and fewer control errors.
Viscoelastic material inside the side stick gear cuts freeplay through axial compression, improving linear force feedback for pilots.
Shared 3D maps, obstacle data, and no-fly zone inputs let UAVs navigate without onboard sensors, cutting weight, volume, cost, and power use.
Rotating handlebars command synchronized yaw and roll, making aerial vehicle turns more intuitive while keeping momentum aligned with orientation.
