In flight mechanics, stick deflection angle refers to the angular displacement of the control stick or yoke in an aircraft cockpit. It represents the physical movement of the control input device by the pilot, influencing the corresponding deflection of control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, or rudders. The stick deflection angle is a crucial parameter in understanding and analyzing the pilot’s input and its impact on the aircraft’s attitude and control. The formula to calculate stick deflection angle as follows:
- G is the Gearing ratio in 1/m.
