Publication number: 20220301441Abstract: A method and a system for displaying and managing a situation in the environment of an aircraft. Such a system comprises a first display device, several cameras covering the external environment around the aircraft, a helmet worn by an occupant and comprising a second display device, at least one sensor measuring a position and an orientation of the helmet. This system makes it possible to determine a monitoring zone in the environment of the aircraft, then display a first image representing the monitoring zone on the first display device. Next, a center of interest is selected in the monitoring zone, after which a second image representing the center of interest is displayed on the second display device. Finally, a sighting marker is displayed indicating the center of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Applicant: AIRBUS HELICOPTERSInventors: Kamel ABDELLI, Richard ALVAREZ

Patent number: 11449057Abstract: A method of facilitating piloting a hybrid rotorcraft having at least one propulsive rotor provided with a plurality of first blades and a lift rotor provided with a plurality of second blades, the hybrid rotorcraft having a power plant. The method includes a step of displaying on a single indicator a first pointer, the position of which along a movement path varies as a function of a first power from the power plant that is consumed by the propulsive system, and of displaying a second pointer, the position of which varies as a function of a second power of the power plant that is consumed by the lift rotor, a variable space between the first pointer and the second pointer representing a power margin from the power plant that is not used so long as the first pointer is situated between the first end and the second pointer.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: AIRBUS HELICOPTERSInventor: Kamel Abdelli
