Here we see a series of images for a set of hand controls for the Piper PA28 variant aeroplane. The hand control is being designed by students from Cranfield University for pilots with lower limb disabilities. We hope to test the unit for the C172 shortly after testing this set.
We shall be testing the control on a simulator which has been built for this purpose with the Head of the Flight Operations Department at Cranfield University who used to be a former RAF test pilot. Our wish and passion is to help make flying easier for pilots with lower limb disabilities in the UK and Europe.
