Aircraft Controls Engineering (ACE) have released its first desktop yoke for the Boeing 737.
One of the key features of the yoke is a “snap and lock” technology, for full interchangeability. This means that the handle can be changed depending on what aircraft you fly.
The yokes are a 1:1 solid metal replica of each yoke handle using highly accurate and spike-free POTS, fully functional and programmable buttons and switches, all for a special, introductory price of $399. Prices will increase to $450 from August this year.
The company is planning to release additional products in two phases over the course of this year.
