  • Energy protection device for an aircraft
    Patent number: 9481472
    Abstract: Energy protection device for an aircraft. The device (1) comprises units (12, 14, 15) for automatically deactivating an energy protection function, if a return of the aircraft to an operational flight domain is detected after the activation of this protection function, and for automatically managing an autothrust (2), if at least one of the following conditions is satisfied: a relaxing of a control member is detected, and the angle of attack of the aircraft is below a predetermined threshold.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 9, 2015
    Date of Patent: November 1, 2016
    Assignee: Airbus Operations (SAS)
    Inventors: Marie-Claire Moune, Jean Muller, Christophe Poujol, Julien Fontan
  • Electric flight control system and method for an aircraft
    Patent number: 9315258
    Abstract: A flight control system includes at least one flight domain protection module intended at least for manual piloting and an auxiliary element configured to automatically transmit to the protection module, upon a detection of automatic piloting of the aircraft using an automatic piloting device, a predetermined auxiliary position, representing a control stick position equivalent, the protection module using the auxiliary position as a control stick position to implement a flight domain protection during the automatic piloting.
