V22 Thrust Control Lever
Description
The revolutionary V-22 Osprey represents a dramatic leap forward for the U.S. Marine Corps. The Osprey combines the traditional strengths of a helicopter (VTOL) with the speed and range of a fixed wing aircraft. Just as revolutionary, the V-22 Thrust grip design has gathered attention in the aviation community for increasing the amount of control functions available on the aircraft thrust control. Functional control is at the pilot’s fingertips, with only the thumb having to move to access additional non-flight controls.
