  • Method and a system for anticipating the entry of a rotorcraft into a vortex domain
    Patent number: 10843810
    Abstract: A method and a system for anticipating entry of a rotorcraft into a vortex domain, the rotorcraft having a main rotor with blades. After previously determining a specific frequency characterizing the proximity of a vortex domain, measurements are acquired of at least one parameter serving to characterize variation of the flow of air in the environment of the main rotor. Thereafter, the measurements are analyzed in order to isolate frequencies characteristic of the variation of each parameter, and the presence of the specific frequency is detected among the characteristic frequencies. Where appropriate, an alarm can then be issued in order to inform a pilot of the rotorcraft of the proximity of the vortex domain.
