  • Method and system for improving the performance of an aircraft upon take off
    Patent number: 8437894
    Abstract: A method and system for improving aircraft performances during take-off is described. The system (1) can include means (4, 6, 7) for determining an optimised take-off position of the control surfaces (S1-Sn) of the aircraft, in the case where a regulatory safety criterion relating to the minimum gradient of climb with a breakdown engine is predominant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2013
    Assignee: Airbus Operations (SAS)
    Inventor: Mathieu Berthereau
  • Method and device for an aircraft buffet reduction
    Patent number: 8191832
    Abstract: A method and device of dynamically reducing the buffeting of an airplane. The method is carried out by detecting a risk of buffeting of the airplane in flight by a monitor. At least one control surface is turned by an actuator arranged at a trailing edge of each wing of the airplane. The control surface is turned, at a predetermined respective rate of turn, into a predetermined respective position to modify lift profile of the wing along a wingspan length to reduce lift in at least one buffeting-generating region of each wing.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DYNAMICALLY ALLEVIATING LOADS GENERATED ON AN AIRPLANE
    Publication number: 20080265104
    Abstract: The device (1) comprises means (3) which can detect a disturbance such as a discrete gust or a continuous turbulence, and means (4, A1 to An) for controlling the deflection of control surfaces (S1 to Sn) of the airplane, when such a disturbance is detected.
