Abstract: The invention has as an object the functional use, in an aircraft, of a great number of information items originating from different sources. The invention thus makes it possible to obtain information items originating from at least one information items group, the said information items obtained to be processed by at least one function called up in a system of the aircraft. After at least one information item has been identified and selected in the said at least one information items group according to at least one predetermined link combining a reference to the said at least one function called up with a reference to the said at least one information item, the said at least one information item is transmitted to the said at least one function called up.

Abstract: A display system includes information sources containing information relating to an aircraft and its surrounding environment. A processor constructs a three-dimensional synthesis image of the aircraft environment, using the information from the information sources, so as to display the position of the aircraft, the environment through which the aircraft is moving, and the terrain to be flown over. The synthesis image is coherent with information relating to another display. A display unit displays the synthesis image on one area of a display screen.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft display system (1A). The inventive system consists of: a display device (2) comprising information sources (3) which contain information relating to the aircraft and the surrounding environment; information-processing means (4) which can construct an image of the aircraft environment using the information from the information sources (3) and which construct a three-dimensional synthesis image in order to display the position of the aircraft and the environment through which the aircraft is moving, including the terrain to be flown over, said synthesis image being coherent at least with information relating to another display, e.g. a two-dimensional display; and display means (6) which display the synthesis image on at least one area (9A) of a display screen (7).

Abstract: A device for constructing a synthetic image of an aircraft environment may include information sources having information relating to the aircraft and to its environment. An information processor constructs a synthetic image of the environment of the aircraft on the basis of information emanating from the information sources. A display presents, on at least one part of a display screen, a synthetic image, which is constructed with the aid of a conical projection onto a plane of projection that is orthogonal to a line of aim that forms angles of lateral separation and angles of vertical separation with the course of the aircraft.

Abstract: The device (1) comprises information sources (2) comprising information relating to the aircraft and to its environment, information processing means (3) able to construct a synthetic image of the environment of the aircraft on the basis of information emanating from the information sources (2) and display means (5) able to present, on at least one part of a display screen (7), a synthetic image. This image is constructed with the aid of a conical projection onto a plane of projection which is orthogonal to a line of aim which forms angles of lateral separation and angles of vertical separation with the course of the aircraft.

Abstract: The method provides for an information presentation (IF1) to be presented on a visual-display screen (5), the information representing at least one vertical plane along a theoretical flight trajectory of the aircraft, and which includes an axis system (8, 9), in which a y-axis (8) is graduated in altitude, and an x-axis (9) is graduated in distance from the position of the aircraft, a particular symbol (7) representing the aircraft, which is arranged on the y-axis (8) at a position representative of the altitude of said aircraft, and a first plot (T1) representing a theoretical flight trajectory of said aircraft in the vertical plane. Said information presentation (IF1) further includes at least one second plot (T2) corresponding to a safety altitude, and a third plot (T3) corresponding to a contour of the terrain (10) in the vertical plane.

Abstract: The control device (1) comprises at least one first and one second control system (4, 5) which comprises control elements (A1 to A8, B1 to B6) actuable by an operator, so as to control the monitoring system (2). These first and second control systems (4, 5) are in interaction so that an actuation of a control element of one of the control systems (4, 5) automatically brings about an action on a control element of the other control system (5, 4) which is intended to control the same function (F1 to F6) in such a way as to bring it into a control state representative of the controlled state of this function (F1 to F6).
