Are you enquiring about control panels and displays such as MFDs and the like, or about the flight control sticks and grips? EC/NHI generally build their own flight control components. Control and Display panels are typically Barco, SAGEM or similar from system OEMs. it all depends on the clients requested configuration. |

For FBW grips there is Otto and Mason. The cyclic, pedals and
collectives for the NH90 as well as the FBW V-22 and BA609 are the same as conventional mechanical controls. The only difference between them is instead of push rods and cables the FBW controls drive position sensors and force feel actuators. The force feel actuators are supplied by many different companies including MPC, Curtis Wright and SAGEM. Some companies outsource the pedal cyclic and collective assemblies to Triumph and MACAER. Take care, CTR |

Actually I was referring to the fly by wire inceptors (i.e. Cyclic and
Collective). It is my understanding that the NH90 uses active controls and I was wondering who was there supplier. |
