In this paper a novel command concept for onboard piloted vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) transition aircraft is introduced. The focus lies in providing an easy and intuitive operational concept for transition aircraft, thereby minimizing the required training before and workload during operation of such a novel configuration. The proposed operational concept is realized using a novel type of control inceptor, which combines the characteristics of spring-centered sidesticks and throttle levers. Model-based simulation and analysis serve as a means of concept validation.
