  • Publication number: 20120029738
    Abstract: An aircraft capable of hovering, and characterized by having at least one sensor, which has a plane sweep region and is designed to acquire, when the aircraft is manoeuvring, values of respective distances between first points on an obstacle within the plane sweep region, and a second point on the aircraft; and a control unit designed to generate an alarm signal when at least one of the first points lies within a safety region containing the second point on the aircraft.
