摘要: A flight guidance panel for an aircraft includes a subpanel display, a joystick, rotary encoders, a deflection sensor, and a processor. The subpanel display indicates autopilot modes and flight value goals and has a top-level state and a subpanel control state. The joystick is for user interaction with the subpanel display. The rotary encoder is coupled with the joystick to receive rotation inputs from a user of the joystick. The deflection sensor is coupled with the joystick to detect a deflection input from the user of the joystick. The processor is programmed to: change a state of the subpanel display to the subpanel control state corresponding to a selected subpanel in response to receiving the deflection input while the subpanel display is in the top-level state; and change the flight value goals in response to receiving the rotation inputs while the subpanel display is in the subpanel control state.

摘要: A method and a system for providing a rotorcraft with assistance in taking off from a slope. The rotorcraft includes at least one lift rotor provided with a plurality of blades, control devices for controlling the pitches of the blades, and landing gear provided with at least three ground contact members. The method comprises a step of measuring a piece of information relating to the forces to which each ground contact member is subjected during a landing phase for landing on the slope, a step of measuring at least one piece of information relating to the pitches of the blades during the landing phase, and a control step for controlling the pitches of the blades during the takeoff phase during which the rotorcraft takes off after the landing as a function of the measurements taken during the landing in order to enable a takeoff to be performed that is safe and simplified.

摘要: A joystick device includes an operating rod assembly, a magnetic component mounted to the operating rod assembly, a circuit board and a reset assembly. The circuit board includes a magnetic sensor facing the magnetic component. The magnetic component is capable of moving from an initial position relative to the magnetic sensor along a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction when driven by the operating rod assembly. The reset assembly is connected to the operating rod assembly, configured to reset the operating rod assembly along the second direction or the first direction, so that the magnetic component is reset to the initial position. In the present application, the reset assembly is configured to reset the operating rod assembly along the second direction or the first direction, so that the magnetic component is reset to the initial position, thereby simplifying operations of the joystick device.

摘要: In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a rotorcraft includes transitioning from a first mode to a second mode when a velocity of the rotorcraft exceeds a first velocity threshold. Transitioning between the first and second modes includes fading out a gain of a dynamic controller over a first period of time, and decreasing a value of an integrator of the dynamic controller over a second period of time. In the first mode, the translational speed of the rotorcraft is determined based on a pilot stick signal, and in the second mode, an output of an attitude rate controller is proportional to an amplitude of the pilot stick signal.
