摘要： An apparatus for converting a manned aircraft for unmanned flight, the aircraft including at least one pilot control (1030) capable of manipulation to affect operation of the aircraft, the apparatus comprising a first actuator (1006) and a second actuator (1008) each configured to selectively provide movement or resistance to movement in a first manner including linear or rotational motion, a first clutch (1012) and a second clutch (1016) each configured to selectively couple movement of the associated actuator to the pilot control, and a vehicle controller capable of being selectively enabled to operate the pilot control actuators and clutches providing unmanned operation of the aircraft or disabled providing manned operation of the aircraft. The first actuator has a first scope describing a first amount of allowable movement (1062, 1042), while the second actuator has a second scope (1068, 1040) larger than the first scope.
