  • Patent number: 9415867
    Abstract: A control member (10) having a collective pitch lever (20) extending from a first end (21) to a second end (22). Said control member (10) has a handle (30) for controlling a yaw movement control device, said handle (30) being secured to an inner ring (40) that is guided to pivot about a second axis (AXLAC) by an outer ring (50) secured to said second end (22), said inner ring (40) being constrained to move together with said outer ring (50) and the lever (20) in pivoting about said first axis (AXCOL).

  • Patent number: 9084490
    Abstract: A man-machine interface (10) for a vehicle (1), the interface (10) has pointer means (40) and comprises a base and a support (20) extending in elevation from said base (15). A notch (30) is formed in a side face (22) of said support (20) in an elevation direction (Z) and is shaped to match the shape of a thumb. A top face (21) of the support includes an ergonomic armrest (35) having two raised margins (36) extending symmetrically on either side of a longitudinal axis of symmetry (AX) of the armrest (35). A front face (25) of the support extends in elevation from the base (15) from a bottom portion (25?) having the pointer means (40) arranged therein towards a top portion (25?) that is rounded to support a user's palm.

  • Patent number: 8439297
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an air inlet (10) for a turbine engine (2) of an aircraft (1), the air inlet comprising an air delivery duct (20) defined by a side wall (21) and extended by a dynamic inlet duct (30), said dynamic inlet duct (30) extending along a dynamic axis (AX1) towards a front flow section (31), said dynamic inlet duct (30) being provided with a grid (40) for protection against ingesting foreign bodies. The grid (40) is suitable for moving in translation along said dynamic axis (AX1) relative to said front flow section (31), and said air inlet (10) includes at least one lateral inlet (50) arranged in said side wall (21) and cover means (41) for covering said lateral inlet (50) that are movable relative to said lateral inlet (50), said air inlet (10) including movement means (60) controlled by said movement in translation of the grid (40) to request movement of said cover means (41) relative to said lateral inlet (50).

  • Patent number: 8361209
    Abstract: An air intake (2) for a turbine engine, and a method implemented by the air intake (2) are disclosed. The air intake (2) is provided with a filter system (10) including foldable filter elements (11), arranged at the inlet section (3) of the air intake (2). In addition, the filter system (10) includes control elements (11) that exert a force along a first direction (Y) on the free end (11?) of the foldable filter elements (11) to adjust the filtering power of the filter system (10), guide members (12) of the filter system (10) serving to guide the movement of the free end (11?) induced by the control elements (13).
