摘要： According to one embodiment, a pilot assistance system includes a trim assembly and a trim assembly control system. The trim assembly is operable to communicate with a pilot control device and operable to apply a force against the pilot control device in resistance of a command received from a pilot via the pilot control device. The trim assembly control system is in communication with the trim assembly, configured to identify a first pilot control device position relative to a reference pilot control device position, and configured to instruct the trim assembly to apply a cueing force against the pilot control device if the pilot control device is positioned proximate to the first pilot control device position.

摘要： A control member that is operable by a pilot to vary thrust from a thrust system of an aircraft. The control member comprises a stick and a movable assembly including a grip. The grip is linked to the stick via a helical link, rotation of the grip about the stick giving rise to movement in translation of the grip together with the movable assembly along the stick, the grip being movable in translation in both a first direction in translation and in a second direction in translation that is opposite to the first direction in translation.

摘要： A device for managing the mechanical energy of an aircraft, with a force application system on a control lever, includes a support defining a guide; a moving control lever for controlling varying a mechanical energy variation of the aircraft, mounted moving through the guide; and at least one position sensor detecting the position of the moving lever in the guide, configured to create position information for the position of the moving lever in the guide intended to be sent to a flight control unit of the aircraft. The device also includes an active force applicator for applying a force on the moving lever, configured to generate a force applied on the moving lever. The force depends on the position of the moving lever in the guide.

摘要： An autothrottle system for an aircraft includes a motor, actuator assembly, and position sensor operatively connected between the motor and a moving portion of the actuator assembly. An electronic controller is configured to control the motor to move the actuator assembly to actuator positions based at least on position information from the position sensor to move the throttle lever to lever positions. The actuator assembly includes a bearing assembly having a plurality of bearings to contact a surface of a shaft for converting rotational movement of the shaft into linear motion of the bearing assembly along the shaft. The actuator assembly further includes a shuttle arm having at one end a mounting surface to attach to the bearing assembly and at the other end a linkage arm operatively coupled to the attachment end of the lever.
