Abstract
The invention relates to a joystick () for controlling an aircraft, including a frame (), a lever (), a mechanical linking assembly () for connecting the lever to the frame enabling a rotation of the lever () relative to the frame () about a first rotation axis (X), in which the mechanical linking assembly () includes a first pivot joint (), the first pivot joint () including a first portion, a second portion movably mounted relative to the first portion, and at least two flexible blades, each flexible blade having an end that is attached to the first portion and another end that is attached to the second portion, and being resiliently deformable in order to enable a rotation of the second portion relative to the first portion along the first rotation axis (X) and to generate a return torque which hinders the rotation of the second portion relative to the first portion.
