  • Publication number: 20140092206
    Abstract: An aircraft (11) includes a system for observing part of the external environment of the aircraft. The environment observation system includes a camera, known as a panoramic camera (21, 22, 23), including a stationary camera associated with a lens that can focus a panoramic field of view simultaneously in both azimuth, about an axis of the panoramic camera, and elevation in a plane containing the axis. The panoramic camera is connected to at least one display screen disposed inside the aircraft (11) and is positioned such that part of the external environment of the aircraft (11) is located in its field of view.
