Market Dynamics
Introduction
Pilot control is a mechanism used by pilots to control an aircraft. These devices include yokes, side sticks, rudder brake pedal systems, and throttle quadrant assembly. The yoke is used to steer the plane, while the pedals are used to control the rudder and brakes, and the throttles are used to adjust the speed of the plane. These components are used in the aviation industry to provide a manual or automatic input device for initiating and controlling the flight of an aircraft. The function of pilot control is to control the aircraft's roll, pitch, yaw, speed, and direction of flight.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted the aerospace industry, including the aerospace pilot control market, which witnessed a decline of 14.6% in 2020. The market declined in 2021, followed by a good recovery from 2022 onwards.
Market Drivers
The major factors driving the growth of the aerospace pilot control market are:
- An expected rise in the production rate of key programs.
- Entry of programs (B777x, C919, and MC-21).
