Abstract
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.
