flight stick
Pilot's control column
A flight stick is a handheld control device for aircraft or flight simulators, shaped like a joystick and manipulated to control pitch and roll.
In aircraft, the flight stick connects mechanically or electronically to control surfaces.
In gaming, flight sticks offer more realistic control than standard gamepads: I bought a flight stick for the new combat sim.
