A vehicle control and interface system described herein assists an operator of an aerial vehicle with the operation of an aerial vehicle, including tailoring the positioning of aerial vehicle interfaces for a given pilot. A movable control interface of the system adapts aerial vehicle operation to varying physical features of operators by enabling the operator to choose a position of a touch screen interface (e.g., a height of the screen, distance in front of the pilot's seat, etc.) that is adjustable using a mechanical arm. The movable control interface can move a touch screen interface from a stowed position (e.g., away from a pilot seat and proximal to a dashboard towards the front of the cockpit) to an in-flight position (e.g., towards the pilot seat in a position that encourages an ergonomic position of the operator to reach the touch screen interface without straining their shoulder).
