    摘要: A front engine attachment system having an engine pylon having a frontal rib fastened against a front face, a front engine attachment having a beam fastened to the frontal rib, two rods articulated to the beam respectively via two connection points and one connection point, and a front casing of an engine, wherein the first rod is articulated to the front casing via a connection point and wherein the second rod is articulated to the front casing via a connection point, wherein each point of connection of a rod to the beam is positioned inside a volume that extends the front face of the engine pylon towards the front. Such a front engine attachment system has reduced bulk and therefore less drag.

    摘要: An aircraft comprising a structure, a tank housed in the fuselage, and fastening means which comprise a front fastening system, a rear fastening system and a lateral fastening system. The front system comprises a front plate, two lateral connecting rods and a central connecting rod that are fastened between the front plate and the tank. The rear system comprises a rear plate and a rear connecting rod fastened between the rear plate and the tank. The lateral system comprises a lateral connecting rod fastened between the structure and the tank, wherein one of the connection points is behind the other connection point.

    摘要: A system for an aircraft comprising a controller configured to obtain a first piece of information regarding whether the aircraft has achieved lift-off; to obtain a second piece of information regarding whether the aircraft is in a flight phase in an initial part of lift-off; to determine, on the basis of at least the first piece of information whether the gear is retractable, and, if the gear is retractable in an initial part of the lift-off, to trigger a landing-gear-retraction alarm taking an audio form and/or a visual form, and, if the gear is retractable after the initial part of the lift-off to optionally trigger a second landing-gear-retraction alarm taking an audio form and/or a visual form. A method implemented by the system is provided. Advantageously, an omission of the retraction of the landing gear of an aircraft is notified to its flight crew.

    摘要: A method for estimating a residual stress field in a workpiece. The method includes measuring geometric parameters of the workpiece during machining at which a residual stress field is to be known to determine a geometric profile of said workpiece, estimating, from the geometric profile and an estimation model, subsequent deformations that the workpiece is liable to undergo during further machining, said estimation model being trained by machine learning on training workpieces to use the geometric profile of the workpiece and prerecorded data on the training workpieces to estimate said subsequent deformations of the workpiece, and estimating from the subsequent deformations and a simulation model, the residual stress field in the workpiece, said simulation model being a generic physical model based on simulations defining a variability of the residual stress field in the workpiece as a function of manufacturing parameters of the raw workpiece.

    摘要: A system for controlling aircraft flight control surfaces implements a method including: obtaining a control law for the flight control surfaces as a function of flight controls of the aircraft; obtaining measurements of ground speed, true speed, roll angle, pitch angle, angle of attack, sideslip angle and slope angle; performing an estimation of the wind in three dimensions using the measurements obtained; performing an adjustment of the control law for the flight control surfaces, to counter the estimated wind effect and to obtain an adjusted control law for the flight control surfaces, by adding, to the control law, a term for wind compensation comprising a term proportional to the derivative of the wind estimation; and controlling the aircraft by applying the adjusted control law. Thus, the impact of the wind on the aircraft is reduced by digital processing and automatic adjustment of the control of the flight control surfaces.
