- fgonzag 7y agoI'm imagining the pressure inside sealed tubes filled with liquid could be exploited to provide a force multiplier
- lmilcin 7y agoYou mean an airplane of a different design that would need to be separately certified?
- fgonzag 7y agoIt wouldn't. The trim wheel would work exactly the same from the pilot's perspective. It would only work different internally.
