Lighting system for an aircraft, comprising at least one optical acquisition device, at least one long-range headlight each comprising at least one light source (), closed-loop control means (), and a means () for controlling the light sources () as a function of the data received from the optical acquisition device and from a data network of the aircraft in such a manner that the lighting system produces at least one beam for adaptive illumination with respect to the flight and taxi phases of the aircraft so as to illuminate at least one predefined region of the space around the aircraft.

Lighting system for an aircraft

This beam shaper for an aircraft headlight comprises a light input surface () and a light output surface (), the output surface comprises prism-shaped areas so as to deflect a light beam transmitted between the light input surface and output surface by guiding the beam in two directions (D, D) which are oblique relative to an optical axis (A) of the beam shaper.

Hybrid headlight for aircraft

An aircraft landing light with static function switching for producing at least two beams having different characteristics, in particular different orientations and/or openings, comprises an array of light-emitting diode lighting modules () each comprising at least two sets of at least one light source (S, S), operable selectively and statically to provide at least one of the lighting functions. Each lighting module () comprises a common converging lens (L) for the light sources, the converging lens comprising a light input optical surface (Li) and a light output optical surface (L), said light sources being positioned in relation to the light input optical surface.

Multifunctional aircraft landing light with static function switching

An optical lighting system for an aircraft includes an optical unit that can be configured according to the phases of flight or taxiing of the aircraft in order to emit a beam of light the spread and aim characteristics of which are dependent on the said phases of flight or of taxiing.

Optical lighting system for an aircraft

This optical device for lighting and/or signaling system comprises a set of at least one collimator () each comprising a light ray input surface () refracting the light, a collimated light beam output surface () and a reflecting surface () intended to reflect light beams refracted by the input surface and suitable for reflecting the rays in parallel directions. The input surface () comprises a set of surfaces (S, S, S) refracting the light that are juxtaposed and suitable for directing the rays from the source towards the reflecting surface.

Optical device for lighting and/or signaling light for aircraft and light comprising such an optical device

This exterior signaling and/or illuminating light, especially for an aircraft, comprises an array of exterior illuminating optical modules () ensuring the execution of at least one exterior signaling and/or illuminating function and an array of at least one deviating optical device (), the illuminating optical modules being selectively activatable in groups of at least one illuminating optical module in order to selectively execute an exterior signaling and/or illuminating function conjointly with said deviating optical device.

Exterior signaling and/or illuminating light and corresponding signaling and/or illuminating system

This device for projecting luminous beams for exterior lighting for aircraft comprises a luminous source adapted to be mounted on the aeroplane so as to project the said beam onto an exterior lighting surface. The luminous source comprises a video image projector ().

Device for projecting a luminous beam for exterior lighting for aircraft

A lighting device includes a light source and an optical element, the light source includes a plurality of light emitting diodes aligned. The optical element being shaped to focus a light beam emitted by the light source in a plane orthogonal to the line of light emitting diodes and to deflect said light beam parallel to an illuminating plane including the line of light emitting diodes so as to form a light beam having an ellipsoidal section.
