Abstract:
Connection system for connecting an electronic device, in particular for an aircraft, to a test unit. The connection system includes a fixed portion, which is fixable to said test unit, and a movable plate which is capable of receiving the electronic device to be tested and is displaceable linearly with respect to said fixed portion between two positions which correspond respectively to a connection position and a disconnection position of the electronic device, by manually actuated displacement.

Abstract:
A device for attaching an electrical harness on a structure of an aircraft comprising a support connected to the structure, the harness following a path direction, characterized in that it comprises a body with at least two jaws, at least one of the jaws being movable along a reference plane perpendicular to the path direction between a first open position in which they enable the insertion of at least one harness and a second closed position in which they keep the inserted harness or harnesses in position, and on the other hand, a retainer strip in the form of a blade whose ends are connected to the support allowing for the jaws to be maintained in closed position and the body to be flattened against the support.
Abstract:
An electrical supply system (10) with first and second electrical sourced (S1, S2), coupled together to electrically supply electrical loads (Z1, Z2, Z3 . . . Zn) of an aircraft. The first electrical source (S1) is mechanically coupled to a primary energy source (12), to which at least one other energy consumer (16) is coupled. A controller (30) controls the first and second electrical sources (S1, S2) so that the power drawn by the first electrical source from the primary energy source (12) corresponds to a difference between an instantaneous nominal power capable of being delivered by the primary energy source and an instantaneous power drawn by the energy consumer (16), and an electrical power delivered by the second electrical source is a sum of an electrical power delivered by the first and second electrical sources which corresponds to an instantaneous electrical consumption of the electrical loads.
Abstract:
A method for detecting and localizing a failure of an input sensor of a flight control computer of an aircraft including comparing a first piece of information representative of a probability of occurrence of the failure, delivered by a neural network, with a second piece of information representative of a probability of occurrence of the failure, delivered by a classifier trained to carry out a detection and a localization of the failure. It is thus possible to optimize a failure diagnosis and a localization of a failure of an input sensor used in the determination of flight controls.
Abstract:
A method and system for detecting a ground marking element of a landing runway by computer vision and through signal processing techniques. A detection system (S) including an image collection unit (10), a cutting unit (11) for cutting the image (I) into strips (ST1), a determination unit (12) to determine at least one mean intensity curve (C) for at least one strip (ST1), a recognition unit (13) for recognizing in the mean intensity curve (C) at least one ground marking element (100) of the landing runway (T), a detection unit (2) for detecting a position of at least one ground marking element of the landing runway (T) in the images (I).
Abstract:
A method for assisting with landing an aircraft is disclosed and configured to determine a number of probable theoretical positions (POS1, POS2, POS3) of the aircraft equal to the facing plurality of runways of a destination airport facility to reproject the runways into an image (F) obtained by a camera of the aircraft by means of a theoretical camera model (e.g. pinhole camera model), each reprojection being with reference to one of the determined theoretical positions (POS1, POS2, POS3); and to establish, for each of the reprojections, a consistency score making it possible to then deliver an estimated position (POSA) of the aircraft.
Abstract:
A simulation of efforts applied to positioners to support the fuselage and the airfoil of an aircraft during operations of assembly is performed. The efforts are defined in a digital model of a load plan of the aircraft in assembly phase. The simulation is performed using the load plan digital model of the aircraft in assembly phase and a digital model of each positioner in the form of a set of three equivalent springs defined by three respective eigenvectors associated with three respective eigenvalues, in which the eigenvalues provide rigidity values and the eigenvectors provide directions on which the respective eigenvalues are applied. Thus, the simulation times are reduced.
