The aerodynamically-inspired haptic feedback law was named Conventional Aircraft Artificial Feel, and was implemented as a variable stiffness spring. The experimental set-up comprises a fully nonlinear mathematical model of the aircraft, a visual display and a haptic device (a 3 DoF Omega Device). The tests, performed using a set of 18 na{ï}ve subjects, show the validity of the proposed approach %U http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/fileadmin/user_upload/files/publications/61920418_[0].pdf %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-14075-4_62 %D 2010
