Abstract
A modular brake and rudder control system usable in an aircraft. The modular system mounts atop the flight deck floor without penetrating through the floor when the system is operatively connected to the aircraft's fly-by-wire brake and rudder systems. Pedal assemblies extending from the housing are rotatable and longitudinally moveable relative to the housing. A brake control system fully contained in the housing is connected to the pedal assemblies and provides a signal via an electrical connector to the fly-by-wire brake system upon rotation of the pedals. A rudder control system is fully contained in the housing and is operable independent of the brake control system. The rudder control system detects longitudinal motion of the pedal assemblies and provides a signal via an electrical connector to the fly-by-wire rudder system. The housing, the electrical connectors, the pedal assemblies, the brake control system and the rudder control system define a modular component installable and removable from the cockpit as a unit.
