    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: A device for managing the mechanical energy of an aircraft, having an energy management auxiliary system, includes a support defining a guide, a centralized control lever for varying the energy of the aircraft, at least one position sensor detecting the position of the centralized control lever in the guide. The position sensor is configured to create position information for the position of the centralized control lever in the guide intended to be sent to a flight control unit of the aircraft. The device also includes an auxiliary support; for the or each motor of the aircraft, an individual control lever for the individual propulsion of the motor, mounted movably in the auxiliary support; and at least one auxiliary position sensor detecting the position of the or each individual lever configured to generate information intended to be sent to the flight control unit of the aircraft.

    Abstract: A slide system for slidably opening and closing a drawer is provided. The slide system includes an outer slide for mounting the slide system on a side wall of an enclosure, comprising a longitudinal slide outer channel, a sliding member, configured to be mounted on a side wall of the drawer, slidably movable within said slide outer channel. The outer slide includes a fixing part for attachment of the outer slide on the side wall of the enclosure, a sliding part comprising said slide outer channel, and an intermediate part, extending from said fixing part to said sliding part. The fixing part, the intermediate part and the sliding part define a groove extending upwardly from said intermediate part. The slide system comprises a casing element for encasing the sliding member by extending vertically from an upper portion the side wall of the drawer towards the intermediate part of the outer slide and being at least partly received within the groove.

    Abstract: A supporting device for an interior layout assembly of an aircraft cabin, a related assembly and method are provided. The device includes a stationary frame; a table that can be deployed relative to the frame between a retracted position and a horizontal deployed position; a mechanism for guiding the movement of the table relative to the frame between the retracted position and the deployed horizontal position. The guide mechanism defines at least one bearing point for the table during its passage from the retracted position to the deployed horizontal position, the bearing point having a globally invariable position relative to the frame, the table being configured to pivot on the bearing point while moving laterally away relative to the bearing point, by sliding on the bearing point, to the deployed position.

    Abstract: A method for determining a state of credibility of measurements of an angle-of-attack sensor of an aircraft is provided. This method includes at least one coherence test between angle-of-attack measurements from said angle-of-attack sensor, and the measurements of a flight characteristic of the aircraft, distinct from the angle-of-attack. The coherence test includes determining an angle-of-attack value from said angle-of-attack sensor, determining said flight characteristic of the aircraft, determining a value of at least one indicator of the coherence of the angle-of-attack value with the value of said flight characteristic, and activating a low state of credibility, in which the measurements of said angle-of-attack sensor are deemed unreliable, or an intermediate state of credibility, in which the measurements from said angle-of-attack sensor are deemed coherent with said flight characteristic, based on the value of said coherence indicator.

    Abstract: A support device for a radio equipment of an aircraft, radio system and aircraft are provided. The support device includes a fastening structure (31), intended to be secured to a lower surface of a fuselage of an aircraft, and a support platform (33) of the radio equipment (25). The support platform (33) is mounted pivoting on the fastening structure (31) around a pivot axis (A) between an operational position and a backup position. The support device comprises a locking mechanism (56), able to be actuated from a locked configuration, in which said locking mechanism (56) keeps the support platform (33) in its operational position while preventing any pivoting of the support platform (33), to an unlocked configuration, in which the locking mechanism (56) allows the support platform (33) to pivot relative to the fastening structure (31).
