  • Publication number: 20230160356
    Abstract: A method for controlling a turboj et engine thrust reverser during an aborted aircraft takeoff, the thrust reverser including doors movable between a stowed position, an overstowed position and a deployed position; door actuators to move the doors between the stowed, overstowed and deployed positions; a device for locking the doors in the stowed position, moveable between a locking position and an unlocking position; and a lock actuator to move the locking device between the locking and unlocking positions. The method includes decreasing the engine speed of the turbojet engine by following a setpoint value below a first engine speed threshold value at which the aerodynamic forces being exerted on the doors are equal to the forces developed by the door actuators; controlling the door actuators to bring the doors into the overstowed position; controlling the lock actuator to bring the locking device into the unlocking position.

  • Patent number: 10018073
    Abstract: There is proposed a method for controlling a bistable shutoff vale for an aircraft engine, involving the steps of: emitting a closure signal on one of the control channels—emitting an open signal on the other control channel, the method being characterized in that—the amplitude of the close signal is designed to cause the vane to move into a first position constantly in a given period of time,—in the same period, the amplitude of the open signal fluctuates between a value designed to urge the valve toward a second position and a rest value, the actuating values of the two signals being adapted to one another in order to keep the vane immobile when the two signals received by the valve simultaneously adopt said actuation values.
