    摘要: A method and a device for avoiding an object by detecting its approach to an aircraft. After detecting an object in the vicinity of an aircraft and detecting its approach, a first track for the object and a second track for the aircraft are estimated from successive first states for the object and successive second states for the aircraft. Thereafter, a minimum distance (dm) between the first track and the second track is estimated and a warning is triggered as soon as the minimum distance is less than a first threshold so as to warn a crew of the aircraft of a risk of collision. Finally, if the minimum distance is less than a second threshold, an avoidance maneuver is performed automatically by the aircraft in order to move away from the first track, and thereby avoid any risk of collision with the object.

    摘要: A flight control method and system for a rotary wing aircraft. When the longitudinal speed UX of the aircraft is greater than a first threshold speed Vthresh1, a first mode of operation of the method enables flight to be performed while maintaining track relative to the ground, the flight setpoints of an autopilot being a ground course angle TKsol, a forward speed Va, a pitch angle P, and a heading Ψ. When the longitudinal speed UX is less than a second threshold speed Vthresh2, a second mode of operation enables flight to be performed while maintaining heading, the flight setpoints being the longitudinal speed UX, a lateral speed VY, a vertical speed WZ, and the heading Ψ.

    摘要: A flight control system for a rotary wing aircraft, the aircraft following a track Tsol relative to the ground with a ground course angle TKsol, a forward speed Va, a pitch angle P, and a heading Ψ, the aircraft having one or more rotary wings provided with blades of collective pitch and of cyclic pitch that are variable about respective pitch axes and that are capable of performing movements in rotation and in translation. The flight control system has two control members each provided respectively with at least one movement axis A, B, C, D, and an autopilot for generating control signals. An action on one of the control members relative to one of the movement axes A, B, C, D gives rise independently to a modification to the forward speed Va, to the ground course angle TKsol, or indeed to the pitch angle P by means of the autopilot.
