Abstract: An unmanned aircraft includes three parallel beams extending in at least one longitudinal direction X from a rear side to a front side of the aircraft, the central beam forming a main fuselage containing a powertrain, with a propeller of diameter D configured to be driven by the powertrain being attached to a front end of the central beam, each side beam being at a distance L/2 from the central beam and each side beam supporting a radar at a front end of the beam.

Abstract: Method for controlling an unmanned aircraft piloted by a fully autonomous control system including a first decision module and a simplex piloting control module including a high-performance controller, a high-safety controller and a second decision module, the high-performance and high-safety controllers determining piloting commands for the robot-aircraft, according to which: —as long as a set of conditions is verified, implementation by the first decision module of a nominal piloting mode with delivery to the output of the automatic control system of the piloting commands delivered to the output of the simplex piloting control module; —otherwise, switching to an emergency piloting mode, an emergency piloting command is delivered to the output of the automatic control system for execution by the robot-aircraft, the first decision module preventing the delivery to the output of the automatic control system of the piloting commands delivered to the output of the simplex module.
