  • Device for detecting the approach of a vortex ring state, rotary-wing aerodyne comprising said device, and associated method
    Patent number: 11801933
    Abstract: A device for detecting the approach of a vortex ring state for a rotary wing aerodyne, the detection device including a set of vibration sensors configured to be distributed in or on the aerodyne, and a data processing unit configured to receive in real time measurement data from the sensors, process the data in order to calculate in real time the vibration spectrum of the aerodyne, detect in real time, by vibration analysis, the approach of a vortex ring state as a function of the calculated vibration spectrum, and issue an alarm in the event of detection of the approach of a vortex ring state.
    Type: Grant
