Abstract:
A device is provided for assisting in the piloting of a vehicle, in particular an aircraft. The device includes a surface displaying images and a display management unit for images designed to be displayed on the display surface superimposed on a view of the outside landscape. The management unit is capable of commanding the display of piloting information images on the display surface. The management unit is capable of commanding the display, for at least one of the piloting information images, of an animation intended to attract a user's attention to that piloting information image, the animation comprising the display of an alert image and the shrinkage of the alert image.
Abstract:
A method for detecting a failure of at least one sensor onboard an aircraft implementing a baro-inertial loop is provided. The method includes implementing a baro-inertial loop including obtaining a computed vertical speed, then a short-term baro-inertial altitude, based on a double integration of the measured vertical acceleration; and developing at least one intermediate loop parameter based on a deviation between the short-term baro-inertial altitude and the pressure altitude. The method also includes observing at least one failure detection parameter obtained from one of the intermediate parameters of the baro-inertial loop; and determining the presence of a failure on one of the sensors of the aircraft based on the value of the observed failure detection parameter.
Abstract:
A system for controlling and monitoring pieces of equipment of an aircraft, each piece of equipment being able to be switched between two logic activation state values, comprising a man-machine interface, a module for configuration of a functional activation state of a function able to be performed on at least pieces of equipment of a system of the aircraft, the functional activation state being configurable between an active state and an inactive state, the configuration module being adapted for detecting an action of selection of a functional activation state of the function by an operator, and a control and monitoring module configured for determining a logic activation state of each of the pieces of equipment of the system, so that, when each of the pieces of equipment is in the determined logic activation state, the function is in the selected functional activation state.
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.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional simulation system for generating a virtual environment involving a plurality of users and associated method are provided. The system includes a first sensor detecting a viewing direction of a first user, a computing unit configured to create a three-dimensional simulation of the virtual environment, based on data received from the at least one first sensor; for at least one second user, an immersive retrieval assembly for the virtual three-dimensional simulation created by the computing unit. The system includes, for the first user, a second sensor detecting the position of part of an actual limb of the first user. The computing unit is configured to create, in the virtual three-dimensional simulation, an avatar of the first user, comprising a virtual head and a virtual limb, reconstituted and oriented relative to one another based on data from the first sensor and the second sensor.
Abstract:
The system includes additional display means including at least one additional screen and additional graphic interface handling means of the additional screen (able to display on the additional screen, a summary window depending on the operational state of the aircraft. The summary window comprises at least one first pictogram able to be displayed on a first display window of main display means of the aircraft without being displayed on the second window of the main display means, and at least one second pictogram intended to be displayed on the second display window of the main display means without being displayed on the first window of the main display means.
Abstract:
A display system of an aircraft, including a flare guiding cue and related method are provided. The display system includes a display unit; and an assembly for generating a display on the display unit, configured to dynamically display, on the display unit, at least one horizon line, a slope scale of the aircraft relative to the horizon line, and a speed vector symbol, representative of the slope of the aircraft relative to the horizon line. The display generator is configured to display, upon approaching a landing strip, a flare guidance symbol, the position of the flare guidance symbol on the display unit depending on the topographical slope of the approached landing strip.
Abstract:
A display system of an aircraft, able to display a localization marking of a zone of location of an approach light ramp and related method are provided. The display system includes a display unit and an assembly generating a display on the display unit. The display generator is able to display, on approach to a landing strip, a localization marking of a presence zone of an approach light ramp toward the landing strip.
Abstract:
A retractable support for a screen, and aircraft cabin seat including such a support are provided. The retractable support for a screen comprises a support arm for the screen and a housing for receiving the arm in a retracted position inside the housing. The housing comprises a mechanism for deploying the arm outside the housing. The support further comprises a compartment defining a cavity for receiving the housing in a retracted position inside the compartment. The housing is mounted movably relative to the compartment between the retracted position and a free position outside the compartment.
Abstract:
The system according to the invention comprises an assembly for managing the graphic interface of a display, capable of controlling the display, on at least a first region of the display, of a peripheral area formed by a synthetic image comprising at least one synthetic surface representation of the terrain, and capable of maintaining at least one area representative of the position of a landing runway, centered on the landing runway, and at least one front area, adjacent to the center area, substantially free of any synthetic surface representation of the terrain. The management assembly includes means for dynamically defining the length (L) of the front area on the display as a function of a vertical decision position (DP) associated with a selected approach for said landing runway.
