Morgans,

There are other ways to deal with a stick or column, and being crash-worth.
Telescoping under pressure, break-away, and airbags are all strategies that
work well.


And can be found in which aircraft?

Airbags are optional in all Mooneys and new Cessnas and can be
retrofitted to the new production Cessnas as well.

They are standard in new Cirrii and Lancairs, too.

None that I know of, but that was kinda' my point. Instead of going to a
side stick, or center stick, the manufacturers that are designing new
product, could just as easily gone with one of the crashworthy strategies I
mentioned.
