Fly at 40,000 Feet, Pilot with Your Thumbs: The Echo Aviation Controller is Compact, Intuitive, and Built for Precision – Wherever You Fly!
Schwerte, Germany – November 18, 2025 – Honeycomb® Aeronautical, a leading name in professional-grade flight simulation hardware, announced today the Echo Aviation Controller, a unique new controller designed specifically for flight simulation on PC, and expected to begin shipping mid-December 2025.
A new way to fly from the comfort of your couch, the Echo Aviation Controller crams a cockpit into a controller, offering aviation enthusiasts a fully-fledged simulation experience without the need for a full array of specialist flight simulation hardware.
Fully compatible with Microsoft® Flight Simulator™ on PC, as well as other flight simulation software, the Echo Aviation Controller is no mere regular gamepad, offering an astonishing range of nuanced controls in a controller footprint, which allows for quick, effortless flight wherever you choose to take to the skies.
Combining pitch, roll, yaw, throttle, trim and core aircraft systems, the Echo Aviation Controller offers total control with no separate hardware required! The precision analog Thumbstick for pitch and roll provides smooth responsive movement, delivering full elevator and aileron input, while the integrated four Throttle Levers and Trim Wheel are all independently assignable, accommodating both single and multi-engine aircraft.
Featuring a specialised Rudder Paddle System, the Echo Aviation Controller features rear paddles which move in opposition to accurately simulate rudder input, providing exceptionally realistic control with no need for external pedals.
All essential flight controls sit at the users’ fingertips during flight. Physical controls for landing gear, flaps and parking brake streamline the flight experience, eliminating the need for complex keyboard mapping and finally allowing ‘no compromise’ control in a single compact controller.
The Honeycomb Aeronautical Echo Aviation Controller Features:
Complete Flight Control in One Device - Echo combines pitch, roll, yaw, throttle, trim, and core aircraft systems into a single, streamlined PC controller — no separate peripherals required.
Precision Analog Stick for Pitch & Roll - Smooth, responsive Thumbstick delivers full elevator and aileron input for total aircraft control.
Four Throttle Levers & Trim Wheel - Independently Assignable Throttle Levers accommodate single and multi-engine aircraft. The integrated Trim Wheel provides continuous in-flight adjustment.
Rudder Paddle System - Rear paddles move in opposition to simulate rudder input — providing realistic yaw control without external pedals.
Essential Systems at Your Fingertips - Physical controls for landing gear, flaps, and parking brake streamline your flight experience and reduce reliance on keyboard mapping.
Compact, Desk-Friendly Design - The Echo Aviation Controller delivers full control in a clean, minimal footprint — ideal for simmers with limited space or those building a portable setup.
Marc Küpper, CTO for Honeycomb Aeronautical commented, "Honeycomb Aeronautical strives to continually innovate, and we’re proud to serve the simulation community with best-in-class hardware. Our continued strategy not only includes a focus on expanding our range, but also in growing our addressable audience via products which reduce the barrier of entry associated with flight simulation. Enthusiasts no longer need a full rig of hardware, and the new Echo Aviation Controller is the ideal entry into flight simulation. The ease of use, plug-and-play nature of the controller, will, we believe, continue to grow our brand through 2026 and beyond.”
The Echo Aviation Controller will also be available to purchase across the globe at the Honeycomb Aeronautical webshop mid-December 2025 for € 149.99 / $ 149.99 / £ 129.99. No travel agent required.
