Abstract
The invention relates to a force application device for an aircraft control column, the control column comprising a control lever configured to rotate a first shaft and a second shaft, the force application device comprising a first force feedback member configured to exert a resistive force opposing the rotation of the first shaft, a second force feedback member configured to exert a resistive force opposing the rotation of the second shaft and a common braking device comprising a housing, a first braking member and a second braking member which are coaxial and mounted rotatably inside the housing and configured to engage with the first shaft and the second shaft, respectively, so as to brake them, preferably simultaneously.
