  • Publication number: 20250042562
    Abstract: A method for the selective modification of position information for a throttle lever. The method is implemented by a device configured to receive position information representing a current position of the throttle lever. The method includes determining that a predefined situation is encountered when a flight condition associated with the predefined situation is verified, and obtaining, for each encountered predefined situation, a category, a duration and an expected position of the throttle lever. The method includes modifying the received position information by replacing it with the expected position, when the flight condition and a validity condition of the category are simultaneously verified for said obtained duration, and sending the modified position information in the event of a modification to a control device of the propulsion engine. Thus, it is possible to automatically influence the thrust of the engine when required by the situation.

  • Publication number: 20240421730
    Abstract: A command system of an aircraft mobile element actuated by a motor is provided. The command system is electrically connected to a power supply, to the motor and to a current consuming device used to effect de-icing. The system establishes a connection between the motor and the current consuming device and inhibits a first connection between the power supply and the motor and a second connection between the power supply and the current consuming device when a braking command is received. The system enables the first connection and the second connection to be established and inhibits the third connection as long as no braking command has been received or when a command to stop braking is received. Thus the mobile element can be easily braked and the overall size of the system is limited.

  • Patent number: 8825227
    Abstract: A device for a motorized aircraft includes at least one avionic component positioned in the aircraft, at least one engine interface positioned in the aircraft and at least one engine controller positioned in or near an engine of the aircraft. The at least one engine interface is designed to exchange data between the at least one avionic component and the at least one engine controller. The at least one engine interface is generic and able to communicate with engine controllers of various types that may be mounted on the aircraft. The at least one engine controller is specific to a particular engine.

  • Publication number: 20100292870
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for motorized aircraft comprising at least one avionic component (300) positioned in the said aircraft, at least one engine interface (310) positioned in the said aircraft and at least one engine controller (315) positioned in or near an engine (320) of the said aircraft. According to the device of the invention, the said at least one engine interface (310) is designed to exchange data between the said at least one avionic component (300) and the said at least one engine controller (315). The said at least one engine interface (310) is generic and able to communicate with engine controllers (315) of various types that may be mounted on said aircraft. The said at least one engine controller is specific to a particular engine.
