I guess the technology of this helicopter or plane is not fully developed, I don't understand why they used the steering wheel of tanks from World War I instead of the joystick.
I think it's to underline the science fiction element, you could ask the same question of the Star Wars Speeder Bikes or Pod Racers, - I think it reverts to the rule of cool - if it looks cool it's ok from a science fiction perspective :) From a real world perspective I'd much rather have a yoke or a joystick, that we can agree on :)
old-ish comment, i know, but think of it like a double collective. There are no computers in dune, so no fly by wire, and since it isnt a helicopter, you cannot connect a singular joystick to a tilting plate like on a normal helicopter. Thus, you have a sort of double collective where roll is controlled by differential power to the left and right side. I would wager pitch is controlled by twisting one of the handles and pedals for rudder.

This big o'l metal dragonfly is my go to weekend camping driver. It's totally fun with the campout addon. 🙂
Oh really! - I gotta look into that! :D
