Even Boeing Has A Side-Stick Transporter
I had to post this picture of the interior of a Boeing C17 transport plane. I get tired of hearing how Airbus is wrong in using these and Boeing is right by sticking to the tried and true Yolk. However, their C17, which is used by the US Air Force, the RAF, and numerous others use the side stick. I know I will generate numerous down votes - but think of this. When these military guys flying C17's retire or separate - what will they be hired to fly? Given their multi-engine experience with a… (www.pope.af.mil) Daha Fazlası...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Considering that the C-17 has a center control stick and not a side stick controller like the story alludes to says a lot about the intent of the story. Poor attempt at Boeing bashing. Especially since the C-17 was originally a McDonnell Douglas developed aircraft.
Matt, do your homework before setting out to troll.

C17 isn't a side stick. Its a joystick. Still right there between your legs. Not that its tremendously different but I always liked a joystick better than a sidestick. See link for better photo: http://images.defensetech.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/cockpit_view1-490x351.jpg
That is interesting as it directly contradicts Matt's story here. That said, does that joystick just replace the yoke or is it perma mounted and take place of stick/yoke both.
Preach Im not entirely sure what you are asking. The joystick between your legs is in place of a yoke, its the only flight control. The thing that looks sorta like a side stick where it would be if it was an airbus is just a light.
Don't worry about it. I'm not sure what I'm asking either. We had the grandkids last nite and I am outa here. I'm gonna take a nap. LOL
I guess what I'm asking, does it have the total up/down function of stick/yoke; i.e. does it just allow side-side turns or is that stick perma-mounted and you have up-down as well. Does that make any sense
I guess what I'm saying or asking is does it function just like a sidestick, other than being in the center. I assume it does.
No it doesn't work like a sidestick, it works like a steering wheel
10-4, TKS, just curious
I'm kidding by the way, my take on the yoke or stick is this, the less shit you need to be fiddling with as in buttons, switches and all that the more likely your going to use a yoke, a stick, is for one hand operations, thus letting you manipulate said switch and buttons
you sir, are a MORON, you can see that its smack in the middle, left leg on the left side, and the right leg on the right side of said Stick, Please stop posting this crap, go back to flying Rc airplanes on your ipad,
