Abstract
The invention relates to a joystick () for controlling an aircraft, including a frame (), a lever () mounted so as to be rotatably movable relative to the frame, and a mechanical linking assembly () for connecting the lever to the frame, the mechanical linking assembly () including: a first linking piece () movably mounted relative to the frame () about a first rotation axis (X), a second linking piece () movably mounted relative to the frame () about a second rotation axis (Y), the second rotation axis forming a non-zero angle with the first rotation axis, a third intermediate piece () mounted so as to the rotatably movable relative to the first linking piece () about a third rotation axis (Y'), a fourth intermediate piece () mounted so as to be rotatably movable relative to the second linking piece () about a fourth rotation axis (X′), the fourth rotation axis forming a non-zero angle with the third rotation axis, in which the linking pieces () or the intermediate pieces () are rotatably movable in relation to one another about a fifth rotation axis (Z′) forming a non-zero angle with the first rotation axis (X) and the second rotation axis (Y) or with the third rotation axis (Y′) and the fourth rotation axis (X′), respectively, so as to enable a variation of the angle formed between the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis or of the angle formed between the third rotation axis and the fourth rotation axis, respectively.
