摘要： La présente invention concerne un procédé de routage pour aéronef (1) comportant deux moteurs thermiques (11) et un premier mode de fonctionnement AEO, dans lequel lesdits moteurs thermiques (11) fournissent conjointement une puissance mécanique à un rotor (2,3) dudit aéronef (1) ainsi qu'un second mode de fonctionnement économique dans lequel un seul moteur thermique (11) fournit une puissance mécanique audit rotor (2,3). Plusieurs routes possibles (37,38) pour un vol entre des points de départ (31) et d'arrivée (35) sont calculées indépendamment, avec des coûts opérationnels associés, en fonction de données de performance et de santé dudit aéronef (1), ainsi que des données météorologiques et environnementales. Les routes possibles (37,38) comportent au moins une première route (37) utilisant uniquement ledit premier mode de fonctionnement AEO, et au moins une seconde route (38) utilisant au moins partiellement lesdits premier et second modes de fonctionnement. Une route optimisée est ensuite sélectionnée parmi lesdites premières et secondes routes possibles (37,38) selon une comparaison des coûts opérationnels.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method (900) for protecting a rotorcraft from entering a vortex ring state. The method (900) comprises: monitoring (902) a vertical speed and a forward speed of a rotorcraft; determining (908) whether to perform vortex ring state (VRS) avoidance according to at least one of the vertical speed and the forward airspeed of the rotorcraft; and performing (912, 914), in response to determining to perform the VRS avoidance, control of one or more flight parameters of the rotorcraft. Also disclosed are a device configured to carry out the method (900) and a rotorcraft comprising a flight control computer configured to carry out the method (900).

摘要： Beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) control of drones is enhanced using wireless communication via a cellular network. In an example system, a drone and a remote control station are configured to communicate via a 5G network. Drone control is further enhanced with extended reality (XR) display. Video stream data captured by the drone is replaced, supplemented, and/or overlaid with XR visual data in an XR environment. The XR visual data corresponds to a perspective from a virtual location in the XR environment that mirrors a real-world location of the drone. This lightens constraints and requirements associated with the network communication of video stream data from the drone for BVLOS control of the drone. Drone control is further enhanced with voice command capability. A user vocally utters a coarse-resolution or abstract command, and a drone control station translates the utterance into a sequence of fine-resolution drone commands that implement the vocally-uttered command.

摘要： In an embodiment, an aircraft such as a rotorcraft (101) includes an actuator (401) and a flight control computer (205) interfaced with the actuator (401). The flight control computer (205) is configured to: increase an initiating force output by an initiating channel (403) of the actuator; stop the increasing of the initiating force in response to observing restraining forces on restraining channels (403) of the actuator; hold the initiating force at a quiescent initiating value while the restraining channels (403) hold the restraining forces at quiescent restraining values; increase the initiating force to a target initiating value while the restraining channels (403) increase the restraining forces to target restraining values; calculate a force fight test result by summing a difference between the target initiating value and the quiescent initiating value with differences between the target restraining values and the quiescent restraining values; and indicate the actuator failed verification in response to the force fight test result being greater than a first predetermined threshold.
