  • Publication number: 20250033785
    Abstract: A method for checking the maximum power available to members of a propulsion system of an aircraft includes first members that are sized to compensate for the failure of second members of the propulsion system by delivering a maximum power to keep the aircraft in a safe operating range. The method includes the following steps for each of the first members: placing the first member in a state that is substantially equal to a maximum power state; adjusting the power delivered by the second member working in synergy with the first member so that the first member and the second member contribute to delivering the power required for the aircraft in the flight phase; determining the power delivered by the first member placed in the maximum power state; from the determined power, deducing information relating to the maximum power available to the first member.

  • Patent number: 12168520
    Abstract: A system (11) for balancing at least one parameter to be balanced of an electric motor of a propulsion system (1), in particular of an aircraft, includes at least two electric motors (3, 4) and a propulsion member (2) driven in rotation by said electric motors. The balancing system is configured to calculate a correction of the speed setpoint (Corr_Cons_VI, Corr_Cons_V2) as a function of a correction factor (F1, F2) of the speed setpoint depending on a parameter (P1, P2) of the associated electric motor that is intended to be balanced and on a speed setpoint (Cons_VH) of the propulsion member (2).

  • Publication number: 20240386810
    Abstract: A method for training a pilot to cope with a fault affecting one powertrain of a hybrid propulsion system for an aircraft. The aircraft includes, connected in parallel to a transmission unit, n powertrains (where n?2), including a first and a second powertrain that are heterogeneous in nature. It involves, during a flight of the aircraft, simulating a fault affecting the first powertrain while, at the same time as performing the simulation, checking the status of the n powertrains of the propulsion system. If a fault affecting one of the n powertrains is detected, the simulation is halted and the instantaneous power delivered by at least one of either the first or the second powertrain is increased so that the sum of the instantaneous powers delivered by the n powertrains is ? a minimum total instantaneous power required for the aircraft to continue its flight.
