Boeing 787-10 Yoke for Infinite Flight

Infinite Flight's longest Dreamliner deserves better than a thumb on glass. SkyYoke makes your iPhone a wireless 787-10 yoke — roll your wrists to bank, pull to rotate, all over your own Wi-Fi with nothing to buy.

A Boeing 787-10 yoke for Infinite Flight is an iPhone that has taken over the control column: SkyYoke links to Infinite Flight across your local Wi-Fi and translates the phone's tilt — or a drag on its self-centering touch pad — into live roll and pitch for the largest Dreamliner, with a smart throttle, rudder bar and autopilot panel sharing the screen.

Line the Boeing 787-10 up on a long runway in Infinite Flight and you can sense the stretch behind you — the longest Dreamliner in the family, a composite wing flexing at the tips, a cabin sized to move serious numbers of people. A Boeing 787-10 yoke for Infinite Flight puts that airplane in your hands properly: SkyYoke turns your iPhone into the control column, so the slow, deliberate rotation this jet asks for comes from your wrists instead of a slider on a touchscreen.

SkyYoke turns an iPhone into a yoke, throttle and glass cockpit with live traffic radar for the Boeing 787-10
Your phone is the cockpit. A yoke, throttle and full glass cockpit on your iPhone — with live traffic radar.

Everything travels over your own network. The phone carries the yoke, throttle, rudder and panel; the device running Infinite Flight stays a clean, full-screen view of that long fuselage tracking the centerline. And if you also fly the shorter 787-8 or the mid-size 787-9, the exact same setup carries straight across the family.

The 787-10 is the full-stretch member of the Dreamliner line, built for one very specific job: dense, medium-to-long-haul trunk routes where every seat counts. It delivers the best seats per gallon in the 787 family, which is why carriers on high-density Asian and transatlantic networks have made it a favorite — maximum cabin for the fuel burned, on routes flown again and again.

Real TCAS, real resolutions. When traffic closes in, the scope over the yoke pad calls a genuine resolution advisory.
  • Role: a trunk-route specialist — the biggest cabin in the family, deployed where demand runs thick rather than at the extreme-range edge of the map.
  • Engines: two high-bypass turbofans — GEnx-1B or Trent 1000 on the real jet — hung under that long composite wing.
  • Hands-on character: for all its fly-by-wire sophistication, the 787 is flown through a conventional Boeing control column. Pilots turn a wheel to bank it, and that is precisely the input SkyYoke recreates.

  3. Tilt rightRoll the other way to bank right — 1:1, smoothly.
  4. Tilt backEase the top toward you to pitch up and climb.

Rest the phone flat on your lap or hold it upright like a column — SkyYoke does not mind, because the Motion Yoke measures the gravity vector against a neutral you choose rather than raw device angles. That makes it grip-independent and free of gimbal lock. Roll your wrists and the long wing answers; ease the top of the phone toward you at rotation speed and the nose rises. Shift in your seat mid-flight? One tap on Recenter captures a fresh neutral wherever your hands ended up.

SkyYoke on-device AI voice copilot flying a spoken command for the Boeing 787-10
Talk to your copilot. Speak a natural command — like “landing gear up” — and the on-device AI flies it.

Feel is yours to shape, axis by axis. The tilt range runs from a sharp 15° to a relaxed 60° of lean for full deflection, and pitch, roll and yaw each carry independent sensitivity, dead zone, expo curve, inversion, trim and smoothing. On a long twinjet like this, a touch of expo around center is the difference between chasing the flight path and settling quietly onto it.

Prefer the phone stationary on a desk? Switch to the Touch Joystick: a self-centering on-screen pad that maps your thumb 1:1 and springs back to neutral the moment you let go. Same aircraft, different grip — swap between the two in Settings whenever you like.

Thrust for the stretch — and the rollout after

SMART THROTTLE

  1. Push up — thrustThe top of the lever is forward climb power.
  2. Pull to idleA haptic click marks the idle detent.
  3. On ground, fast — reverseIn the red zone the lever holds reverse thrust.
  4. Slowing — wheel brakesBelow 40 kt the same zone becomes proportional braking.
  5. Airborne — blockedReverse in the air is locked out with a warning.

A heavy stretch wants honest power management, so SkyYoke gives the 787-10 a single intelligent lever instead of a cluster of on-screen sliders. Slide it up for 0–100% forward thrust, with a haptic tick marking the idle detent so your finger finds it without your eyes leaving the runway. (Levers your favorite part? The remote throttle has a page of its own.)

V-speeds, done for you. Weight, weather and runway come from the sim; spoken V1 · Rotate · V2 callouts arm automatically.

The clever part lives at the bottom of the travel. On the runway at 40 knots or more, pulling into the red zone engages reverse thrust and holds it — Infinite Flight expects you to keep pressing for reverse, so the lever does the pressing while you steer the rollout. Once speed decays below 40 knots, that same red zone becomes proportional wheel braking for the taxi-speed finish. Try to grab reverse in the air and SkyYoke refuses outright: a warning banner, a repeating haptic, no reverser. The lever even recolors as its job changes — blue and green for thrust, amber for braking, red for reverse — so one glance tells you what your hand is commanding.

The flight deck that follows you

Trunk routes mean long stretches under automation, and SkyYoke keeps the rest of the flight deck within a thumb's reach. Live IAS, altitude, heading and vertical-speed chips ride above the controls, backed by a PFD-style speed tape with a trend arrow and an altitude tape with cyan bugs at your selected values. The systems panel covers the flows — main battery, APU, external power, exterior lights, cabin signs, autobrake, engine start — and only surfaces the switches the aircraft you are flying actually exposes.

Spoken V-speeds

Arm callouts on the Performance screen and hear V1, Rotate and V2 during the roll, estimated from weight, runway and weather.

TCAS traffic scope

An Airbus-ND-style scope over the yoke pad classifies live multiplayer traffic and speaks advisories. A simulator aid, not certified avionics.

Violation avoidance

Below 10,000 feet, the autopilot speed target can be clamped to 250 knots — or energy managed in the descent — with spoken alerts.

That last one earns its keep in an airliner that descends as cleanly as the 787 does. The Violation Avoidance System arms about 2,000 feet above the limit band, works only while the autopilot is engaged, and hands back the speed you originally dialed once you are clear. Like the V-speed figures, it is an estimate-driven aid for the simulator — useful, never a guarantee.

Your first 787-10 departure

  1. Join the same Wi-Fi. SkyYoke on your iPhone, Infinite Flight on the other device, one network between them.
  2. Enable Infinite Flight Connect in Infinite Flight's settings so the simulator accepts the link — SkyYoke discovers the device automatically.
  3. Bind the axes once in Infinite Flight's Controllers settings: roll, pitch, throttle, yaw. The in-app guide walks each step.
  4. Load the 787-10 from Infinite Flight's fleet, somewhere with runway to spare for the long body.
  5. Fly. Tilt to rotate, ride the lever through the climb, and let the rollout logic catch you at the far end.
Worth knowing: SkyYoke is an independent, unofficial app with no connection to Infinite Flight LLC or Boeing. Which aircraft appear in Infinite Flight's fleet — and what they can do there — is determined entirely by Infinite Flight. V-speeds, callouts and protection systems are simulator estimates only, never for real-world use.

Frequently asked questions

Flying Infinite Flight's largest Dreamliner with an iPhone yoke, answered.

What is a Boeing 787-10 yoke for Infinite Flight?+

It is an iPhone app standing in for the 787-10's control column. SkyYoke connects to Infinite Flight over your home Wi-Fi and converts the way you tilt the phone — or drag an on-screen pad — into live roll and pitch for the largest Dreamliner, alongside a throttle with reverse thrust, a rudder bar and an autopilot panel. No physical hardware is involved.

Why does motion control suit the 787-10 specifically?+

The real 787 is flown with a conventional Boeing control column, so a yoke-style input maps naturally onto it. SkyYoke's Motion Yoke reads gravity rather than raw angles, which means smooth, grip-independent banking — useful for a long-bodied airliner that rewards small, deliberate corrections at rotation and in the flare. Narrow the tilt range and add expo to make inputs around neutral extra fine.

How does reverse thrust work after landing the 787-10?+

Touch down, pull the SkyYoke lever into the red zone, and the app holds reverse thrust for you — Infinite Flight normally requires you to keep pressing for reverse, but the lever maintains it on your behalf. As the rollout decays below 40 knots, the same zone hands over to proportional wheel braking. In the air, reverse is blocked entirely, with a warning banner and a repeating haptic.

Can SkyYoke help me avoid overspeed violations in the 787-10?+

Yes, while the autopilot is flying. The Violation Avoidance System arms roughly 2,000 feet above Infinite Flight's 250-knot-below-10,000-feet band, then either clamps your autopilot speed target to 250 knots — restoring the speed you dialed once clear — or idles the throttle and adjusts the descent to bleed energy. It announces what it is doing with spoken alerts. It is an aid, never a guarantee.

What do I need before my first 787-10 flight with SkyYoke?+

An iPhone on iOS 17.2 or later for SkyYoke, plus a second device running Infinite Flight with Infinite Flight Connect enabled, both on the same Wi-Fi network. You bind the control axes once in Infinite Flight's Controllers settings, guided by the in-app setup walkthrough. SkyYoke is coming soon to the App Store; the early-access list hears the launch news first.
