  • Patent number: 10580316
    Abstract: A system for controlling a trajectory of an aircraft on the ground, includes a determining module configured to determine a current trajectory of the aircraft on the ground including a series of waypoints planned for an element of the aircraft with unchanged conditions of the lateral movement devices of the aircraft, and at least one limit trajectory, including a series of limit waypoints that may be reached by the element by actuating at least one lateral movement device. The system includes a display assembly comprising a viewer configured to display a view (200) of a runway portion located near the aircraft, and a display generating module configured to display, on the viewer, a current trajectory curve (202) representative of the current trajectory and at least one limit curve (204a, 204b, 206a, 206b) representative of the limit trajectory, superimposed on the view (200).

  • Patent number: 10442529
    Abstract: A system for controlling a lateral trajectory of an aircraft includes a rudder bar. Each pedal of the rudder bar is movable between a neutral position (pn) and an end-of-travel position (pf) along a unique travel. A movement of the pedal between the neutral position (pn) and an activation position (pact) commands a lateral movement by actuating a lateral movement device of a first set including a nose gear wheel, the different braking of the aircraft being nonactive. A movement of the pedal from the activation position (pact) to the end-of-travel position (pf) commands a lateral movement by actuating a device of the first set and the differential braking. A haptic feedback generator applies a first haptic profile to each pedal between the neutral position (pn) and the activation position (pact) and a second haptic profile from the activation position (pact) toward the end-of-travel position (pf).

  • Patent number: 10407180
    Abstract: An interface system between a user and a display device in the cockpit of an aircraft, related aircraft and method are provided. The system includes a rotary controller configured to control a target on the display device; a target manager, controlled by the rotary controller for moving the target on the display device during the rotation of the rotary controller and/or for interacting with a field targeted by the target during the rotation of the rotary controller; a haptic feedback generator on the rotary controller during its rotation. The haptic feedback generator is configured to generate at least two distinct haptic profiles on the rotary controller depending on distinct system states and/or distinct man-machine interface states of the aircraft.
