An aircraft rudder pedal comprising a frame and at least one pedal side system. The or each pedal side system includes a pedal and an articulated support structure of the pedal connecting the pedal to the frame. The articulated support structure of said pedal comprises a crank, a lever and a support link. The crank presents a first pivotal articulation connection to the frame and a second pivotal articulation connection with the support link. The lever presents a first pivotal articulation connection with the frame and a second pivotal articulation connection with the support link.

Aircraft rudder with articulated support structure of pedal

An aircraft rudder pedal includes a frame, a pair of pedals, an output shaft and a mechanical kinematic chain for transmitting to the output shaft a displacement of at least one of the pedals relative to the frame. The mechanical kinematic chain comprises a central transmission part able to be rotated relative to the frame by a displacement of one of the pedals relative to the frame. The mechanical kinematic chain also includes a transmission mechanism joining the central transmission part to the output shaft. The transmission mechanism includes a homokinetic association of two universal joints between said central transmission part and the output shaft.
