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.

Front Panel:
The front panel for the fingertip controls is modifiable to meet your design parameters. In the diagram above, the panel houses two pushbutton switches and two rocker switches.
