Abstract
The invention relates to a joystick (200) for controlling an aircraft, including a frame (201), a lever (202) mounted so as to be rotatably movable relative to the frame, and a mechanical linking assembly (203) for connecting the lever to the frame, the mechanical linking assembly (203) including: a first linking piece (213, 223) movably mounted relative to the frame (201) about a first rotation axis (X), a second linking piece (233, 243) movably mounted relative to the frame (201) about a second rotation axis (Y), the second rotation axis forming a non-zero angle with the first rotation axis, a third intermediate piece (255, 265) mounted so as to the rotatably movable relative to the first linking piece (213, 223) about a third rotation axis (Y′), a fourth intermediate piece (275, 285) mounted so as to be rotatably movable relative to the second linking piece (233, 243) 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 (213, 223; 233, 243) or the intermediate pieces (255, 265; 275, 285) are rotatably movable in relation to one another about a fifth rotation axis (Z′) forming a non-zero ang…
