1. A system for mechanical control of an aircraft, the system comprising:

  • control surfaces operable to steer the aircraft;

    at least one control element operable to act upon the control surfaces from a cockpit of the aircraft;

    a servomotor operably connected to the at least one control element and first sensors, the servomotor and first sensors operable when acted upon by the at least one control element to detect a torque exerted on the at least one control element, a trim angle of the at least one control element, and an instantaneous angular velocity of the at least one control element; and

    a control device operable to control the servomotor such that a ratio between a force applied to the at least one control element and the trim angle of the at least one control element is substantially constant.
