  • Patent number: 10620086
    Abstract: A test bench for generating aerodynamic loads on an actuator to be tested includes a force actuator configured to generate at least one dynamic load, the test bench being configured to transmit the dynamic load produced by the force actuator to the actuator to be tested, and a controller for controlling the dynamic load generated by the force actuator depending on a pressure, measured by a pressure sensor, inside one of the chambers of the force actuator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 14, 2020
    Assignee: Airbus Operations S.A.S.
    Inventors: Christophe Pujol, Arnaud Chevalier
  • Patent number: 10196130
    Abstract: An adjustable and rotary rudder bar for a rotary wing aircraft. The rudder bar comprises a pedal bar, a main body, two pedals connected to the pedal bar on either side of the main body, a slider device enabling the pedal bar to slide relative to the main body, a structure fastened to a floor of the aircraft, and a shaft having a first axis (A1). The shaft is secured to the main body, and the main body is movable in turning relative to the structure about the first axis (A1) thus causing the main body, the pedal bar, and the pedals to turn simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 9732769
    Abstract: A servo-control having at least one movable cylinder that includes a hydraulic directional control valve. The hydraulic valve includes a control shaft that is rotatable about a longitudinal axis, the control shaft being connected to a distributor slide. The servo-control including a stationary abutment member secured to a cylinder and an input lever situated outside the cylinder. The input lever is connected to the control shaft and includes a stop portion arranged in the abutment member. The servo-control includes movement means for moving the input lever longitudinally, a first abutment surface of the abutment member limiting a travel amplitude of the stop portion when the input lever is in a first position.
