The present invention relates to a control input device applicable to an eVTOL aircraft, which is an electric-powered vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and more particularly, to an aircraft control input device that may replace a cyclic control stick, a tail rotor control pedal, and a collective control stick used for flight control of a conventional aircraft, which is simpler in configuration and easier to operate than conventional control devices and may improve pilot convenience and stability of flight operation through simple and accurate flight manipulation, and a command input method using the same.

Aircraft control input device and command input method using the same

An apparatus for controlling a tilt rotor is provided. The apparatus includes a thrust command generator configured to generate a first collective pitch angle based on a throttle command, a rotation speed compensator configured to generate a compensation value based on a rotation speed of the motor, a compensation weight generator configured to generate weight values according to a flight speed, a collective pitch angle command generator configured to generate a collective pitch angle adjustment command of the rotor blade of the motor, based on the first collective pitch angle and a first compensation value being obtained by multiplying the compensation value by a preset conversion ratio and a first weight value, and a motor controller configured to generate a motor control command based on a second compensation value being obtained by multiplying the compensation value by a second weight value and the first collective pitch angle.
