  • Publication number: 20230286670
    Abstract: An aircraft display system includes a display; and a unit for generating display on the display, suitable for dynamically displaying on the display at least one horizon line, a slope scale with respect to the horizon line, and a velocity vector symbol. When approaching a landing strip, the display generating unit is suitable for displaying, below the horizon line, a flare floor symbol, defining, along with the horizon line, a range of possible slope values for the flare.

  • Patent number: 10099775
    Abstract: An autopilot system for an aircraft and related process are provided. The system includes a first load factor command definition and application module; a second roll command definition and application module; a control module of the first definition and application module and the second definition and application module, able to define parameters of a recovery maneuver seeking to return the aircraft to setpoint attitudes at the end of a maneuver from initial attitudes. The control module includes a submodule for computing at least one pair of authorities respectively applied by the first module and by the second module during the recovery maneuver. The authorities are computed as a function of at least a current movement parameter of the aircraft and a safety parameter.

  • Patent number: 10011369
    Abstract: The vision system for an aircraft according to the invention comprises a display management system, on a display, capable of dynamically displaying synthetic information coming from a synthetic environment generating assembly on the display. The management assembly can control the display, on a first region of the display, of relief lines representative of the terrain situated facing the aircraft, without displaying synthetic surface representations of the terrain in the intermediate areas situated between the relief lines of the first region of the display. The generating assembly includes means for determining the position of the crest lines of the terrain from topographical data present in at least one database, and means for computing the position of the relief lines from the position of the crest lines of the terrain.

  • Patent number: 9725188
    Abstract: A display system of an aircraft, able to display a horizon line able to be deformed and related method are provided. The display system includes a display unit; and an assembly for generating a display on the display unit, able to dynamically display, on the display unit, at least one horizon line and a slope scale relative to the horizon line. Upon approaching a landing strip, the display generator is able to create, on the horizon line, a region that is deformed as a function of the topographical slope of the landing strip approached by the aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20160379502
    Abstract: A display system of an aircraft, including a flare guiding cue and related method are provided. The display system includes a display unit; and an assembly for generating a display on the display unit, configured to dynamically display, on the display unit, at least one horizon line, a slope scale of the aircraft relative to the horizon line, and a speed vector symbol, representative of the slope of the aircraft relative to the horizon line. The display generator is configured to display, upon approaching a landing strip, a flare guidance symbol, the position of the flare guidance symbol on the display unit depending on the topographical slope of the approached landing strip.

  • Patent number: 9443435
    Abstract: The system according to the invention comprises an assembly for managing the graphic interface of a display, capable of controlling the display, on at least a first region of the display, of a peripheral area formed by a synthetic image comprising at least one synthetic surface representation of the terrain, and capable of maintaining at least one area representative of the position of a landing runway, centered on the landing runway, and at least one front area, adjacent to the center area, substantially free of any synthetic surface representation of the terrain. The management assembly includes means for dynamically defining the length (L) of the front area on the display as a function of a vertical decision position (DP) associated with a selected approach for said landing runway.

  • Patent number: 9096354
    Abstract: The system according to the invention comprises a display and a synthetic image dynamic generating assembly. It includes a management assembly for the graphic interface of the display, capable of controlling the dynamic display, on a first region of the display, of a synthetic image and able to maintain, in certain movement configurations of the aircraft, a second region of the display delimited by the edge substantially with no synthetic surface representation of the terrain. The management assembly includes means for dynamically delimiting the edge of the first region. The delimiting means are configured to dynamically compute the position of the edge as a function of a determined visibility distance (DV), taken relative to the aircraft.
