    Abstract: An aircraft computer file distribution system comprises a store (36) of aircraft computer files for loading into at least one aircraft device (12) that is onboard, mobile or replicated on the ground. The system includes a file manager (44), configured for identifying an aircraft configuration of the aircraft with which the aircraft device (12) is associated and a computer configuration of the aircraft device (12); defining, among the computer files in the computer file store (36), at least one computer file loadable into the aircraft device (12) according to the identified aircraft configuration and computer configuration; and activating a synchronization for remote distribution of at least one computer file to be loaded into the aircraft device (12) selected from the one or more computer files loadable into the aircraft device (12) based on the identified aircraft configuration and computer configuration.

    Abstract: An aircraft mission calculation system is configured to calculate an environmental benefit index. The system includes an aircraft trajectory calculation engine, able to calculate at least one potential mission trajectory between a geographic point of origin and a geographic point of destination. The aircraft trajectory calculation engine comprises an environmental benefit index calculation module, able to activate the calculation engine. The environmental benefit index calculation module is able to determine an environmental benefit index (GI) of the potential trajectory from the first amount of carbon dioxide (Q1(TR1)) produced on a first reference trajectory defining a fastest mission, the second amount of carbon dioxide produced on a second reference trajectory (Q2(TR2)), defining a mission minimizing the amount of carbon dioxide produced, and the potential amount of carbon dioxide produced on the potential trajectory.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring the operational status of an aircraft crew comprises a unit for determining at least one pilot state based on first monitoring data of a high design assurance level and second monitoring data of a lower design assurance level. The determination unit comprises a first evaluation module capable of obtaining a high-level pilot state from the first data, regardless of the second data; a second evaluation module capable of determining a low-level pilot state, from at least the second data; and a consolidation module for determining a consolidated pilot state. The consolidated pilot state is obtained as a function of the high-level pilot state and the low-level pilot state.

    Abstract: A piloting device for piloting an aircraft includes a first and a second control stick movably mounted on a support, a detection system for detecting the positions of the first and second control sticks, an elastic mechanism configured to apply a restoring force to the second control stick, first and second actuation systems configured to apply respective first and second position adjustment forces to the respective first and second control sticks, and a control module configured to control the second adjustment force so that the positions of the first and second control sticks are identical. The control module is configured to control the first adjustment force based on the second adjustment force and the restoring force.

    Abstract: An inerting system comprises an air separating device having an enclosure (40) having at least one air inlet (46) and one outlet (48) for oxygen-depleted air. The air separating device (18) is configured to generate, from an air inlet flow coming from the air inlet (46) of the enclosure (40), an outlet flow of oxygen-depleted air and to discharge the outlet flow of oxygen-depleted air through the outlet (48) for oxygen-depleted air. The inerting system (14) comprises a heating system (20), outside the enclosure (40), configured to heat at least one region of the enclosure (40).

    Abstract: An aircraft portion includes a fuselage oriented in a longitudinal direction, an airfoil made up of at least one pair of wings arranged on either side of the fuselage in a transverse direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and an airfoil-fuselage junction fairing at the interface between the airfoil and the fuselage. The junction fairing has, in a vertical plane, a lower profile and, in a horizontal plane, a horizontal profile at the junction of the outer surface of the junction fairing with the convex side of each wing. The horizontal profile and/or the lower profile successively has, in the longitudinal direction, a convex front segment, a concave intermediate segment, and a convex rear segment.

    Abstract: A lightning protection system of an aircraft includes a wall defining an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surface is configured to come into contact with a mass of air located around the aircraft. The lighting protection system also includes at least two electrically conductive lighting traps received in holes traversing the wall and at least one strip with pellets having an electrically insulating substrate and electrically conductive pellets spaced apart from one another on the electrically insulating substrate. The strip with pellets is fastened on the wall by the two lightning traps. The strip with pellets is attached on the inner surface of the wall.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring the operational status of an aircraft between successive missions of the aircraft includes a computer able to determine at least one operational impact measurement on at least one future mission of the aircraft related to the aircraft and/or to an aircraft equipment and/or to a consumable and/or to the aircraft crew, the operational impact measurement being determined as a function of the flight logbook and/or technical logbook data of at least one already completed mission of the aircraft and/or a context of the future mission. The system includes a display and a display manager on the display, able to display on the display at least one operational impact indicator related to the aircraft and/or to the equipment and/or to the consumable and/or to the crew, as a function of the operational impact measurement determined by the computer.
