    Abstract: A method of enabling an autopilot (9) to cause a rotorcraft (1) to follow a path. At least one guide mode (G) relative to at least one progression axis (P, R, V, Y) of the rotorcraft (1) is selected by the rotorcraft pilot. Said selection causes the selected guide mode (G) to be inhibited (19) and causes a path setpoint (C) to be acquired (20) from the pilot of the rotorcraft (1) operating a manual control member (4) for controlling the progression of the rotorcraft (1). The path setpoints (C) relating to other guide modes (G) of the rotorcraft (1) that continue to be engaged are conserved in their initial states and the autopilot (9) adapts the commands relating to the progression axes (P, R, V, Y) relating to these other guide modes (G).

    Abstract: A method of stopping an engine of a rotorcraft in overspeed, the engine comprising a gas generator and a power assembly. When the engine is in operation, a relationship is established giving a limit derivative that varies as a function of the speed of rotation of the power assembly. The speed of rotation, referred to as the “current speed”, reached by the power assembly is measured and the time derivative of the speed of rotation is determined and referred to as the “current derivative”. The engine is stopped automatically when the limit derivative corresponding to the current speed as determined by the relationship is less than or equal to the current derivative.

    Abstract: A non-ducted tail rotor comprising a hub and at least five blades, each of the blades extending to a free end that, in rotation, describes a circle presenting a given “maximum” radius. The hub is rigidly secured to a drive shaft, the hub comprising a hollow circular body centered on an axis of rotation, the body presenting an “internal” radius between the axis of rotation and an outer periphery of the body, the internal radius lying in the range 0.2 times to 0.4 times the maximum radius, each blade presenting a root extended by an airfoil element projecting from the body, extending from the root to the free end, the root being swivel-hinged to the outer periphery about a pitch axis.
