    Abstract: A system for determining an operational state of an aircrew according to an adaptive task plan. The system comprising a computer adapted to determine for the or each crew member at least one theoretical baseline crew member cognitive state according to the task list assigned to the crew member, using a resource model. The computer is adapted to determine an indicator of fitness of the or each crew member to perform the task(s) of the task list assigned to the crew member, from an actual crew member cognitive state determined on the basis of physiological measurements on the crew member and measurements of the crew member's interaction with the aircraft, and from the theoretical baseline crew member cognitive states.

    Abstract: A device for managing the mechanical energy of an aircraft, having a light system, includes a support defining a guide; at least one control lever for varying the mechanical energy of the aircraft, mounted moving through the guide; and at least one position sensor detecting the position of the control lever in the guide, configured to create position information for the position of the control lever in the guide intended to be sent to a flight control unit of the aircraft. The device also includes at least one light strip extending on the support along at least part of the travel of the control lever in the guide; and a control unit of the at least one light strip, configured to display at least one light indication at least at one given point of the lighted position ramp calculated as a function of a movement context of the aircraft.

    Abstract: An aircraft enhanced vision system includes an electromagnetic sensor comprising at least one group of transmitters and at least one group of receivers. The electromagnetic sensor includes a waveform generation assembly powering each transmitter in order to generate the transmitted signal and a signal capture assembly to capture the signal received by each receiver after reflection off of the ground. The transmitters are distinct and spaced apart from the receivers, being arranged so as to form at least one virtual transmitter/receiver network extending in an elongation direction perpendicular to the observation direction from each transmitter/receiver combination between the group of transmitters and the group of receivers.

    Abstract: A hatch for closing an opening provided through an aircraft structure, related structure and method are provided. The hatch includes an inner sealing partition, intended to be mounted sealably on an aircraft structure and a locking assembly releasable from the inner partition on the structure. The hatch includes a valve for balancing pressure between an inner surface of the inner partition intended to be placed in an inner volume of the aircraft and an outer surface of the inner partition, intended to communicate with the outside of the aircraft. The valve is movable by a user between a closed sealing position and an open pressure balancing position. The releasable locking assembly is immobilized in its locking configuration when the valve is its closed sealing position.

    Abstract: An energy production assembly includes a pump and at least one system for purging water contained in a fuel reservoir. The purging system (22) comprises a transport pipe and a sampling pipe, secured to the transport pipe, extending between a sampling inlet and a sampling outlet, the sampling inlet emerging in a region (36) of the reservoir (16) configured to accumulate water, the sampling outlet emerging in the transport pipe, upstream from or in the Venturi. The pump (14) is arranged downstream from the Venturi, and at least one region of the sampling pipe comprising the sampling outlet is coaxial with the transport pipe.
