  • Patent number: 8612070
    Abstract: A device for aiding the deck-landing of an aircraft, the aircraft being controlled remotely from a mobile station, such as a ship, includes means for receiving data from the aircraft, notably attitudes of the aircraft, the aircraft hovering ready to land on deck, the deck-landing decision having to be taken under certain conditions that must all be met, the device including a computer making it possible to deliver temporal indicators indicating that all the conditions are met. The device includes a temporal gauge including a temporal graduation indicating mobile graphical zones representing the periods during which all the conditions are met for authorizing a deck-landing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8380369
    Abstract: The device for checking speed intended for an aircraft ready to land on deck on a moving vehicle, the aircraft having a current vertical speed, called the first speed, and a threshold value of vertical downward speed relating to the vertical speed of the moving vehicle, called the “low threshold”, the ship having an absolute vertical speed, called the second speed, comprises a display and means for receiving data originating from the aircraft, notably its vertical absolute speed. The device includes a calculator making it possible to generate on the display a graduated speed gauge including a fixed cursor indicating the first vertical speed and a second moving cursor indicating the speed of the ship, a third moving cursor indicating the low threshold, the graduation being centered around the value of the first vertical speed.

  • Publication number: 20110118901
    Abstract: A device for assisting in the decking of an aircraft, the aircraft being remotely controlled from a mobile station, called a ship, includes means of receiving data originating from the aircraft, notably attitudes of the aircraft and its altitude, the aircraft being in stationary flight ready to deck, a first coordinate system being defined relative to the aircraft, a second coordinate system being defined relative to the ship. The device for assisting in the decking of an aircraft includes a display for generating the position of the aircraft in a coordinate system linked to the ship in a first vertical representation and in a second horizontal representation.
