You are designing an acrobatic aircraft that uses a cable system for the actuation of the controls. You want to design the stick so that it requires that the pilot apply a reasonable force when rolling the aircraft (i.e. moving the stick inboard or outboard to deflect the ailerons). Using the gears and pulleys within the aircraft, what force should design the stick to require to allow the pilot to roll the aircraft during radical maneuvers?

Solution

Aerobatics consist of five basic maneuvers: Lines (both horizontal and vertical), loops, rolls, spins, and hammerheads.Traditional aircraft maneuvering is accomplished by altering the flow of air passing over the control surfaces of the aircraft—the ailerons, elevators, flaps, air brakes and rudder.. When a control surface is moved to present an angle to the oncoming airflow, it alters the airflow around the surface, changing its pressure distribution, and thus applying a pitching, rolling, or yawing moment to the aircraft. The angle of control surface deflection and resulting directional force on the aircraft are controlled both by the pilot and the aircraft\'s inbuilt control systems to maintain the desired attitude, such as pitch, roll and heading, and also to perform aerobatic maneuvers that rapidly change the aircraft\'s attitude. G - force, turbulence force & boyance force esign the stick to require to allow the pilot to roll the aircraft during radical maneuvers.
