An emergency beacon is configured to replace of one or more navigation lamps installed on an aircraft, which has a fuselage with an outer face, on which is fixed a second interface, on which such a navigation lamp is typically disposed; the emergency beacon includes a base, which has a first interface configured to cooperate with the second interface of the aircraft to fix the base onto the outer face of the fuselage; a casing with a control unit, a radio transmitter for transmitting a distress signal, and a detector to detect abnormal aircraft behavior; and a fixing structure to take up a fixation position, ensuring the casing is fixed to the base, or a separation position, in which it does not ensure the casing is fixed to the base; the transition from fixation position to separation position is controlled by the control unit when an abnormal behavior is detected.

Aircraft comprising at least one emergency beacon, and such an emergency beacon

A method for assisting the piloting of an aircraft on the ground comprises the steps of obtaining a panoramic view of at least one area adjacent to the aircraft, isolating an image corresponding to a part of the panoramic view and which is selected according to an orientation desired by the pilot, and displaying the image on a display device visible by the pilot. A system for the implementation of the method is also provided.

Method for assisting the piloting of an aircraft on the ground and system for its implementation

The stabilizing device () comprises auxiliary stabilizers () which are mounted on the horizontal tailplane () of the aircraft and which generate a lateral stabilizing effect when brought into a deployed position.

Method and device for the lateral stabilization of an aircraft

The invention relates to a method according to which an aircraft () is moved along the ground by means of at least two separate appliances () connected to the aircraft independently from each other or other appliances. A control element is provided for moving an aircraft, said element sending instructions to at least two separate appliances in order to move the aircraft along the ground by means of the appliances. The invention also relates to an appliance () for implementing the method according to the invention, which can communicate with an identical appliance in order to transmit and/or receive at least one datum relating to a position and/or a movement of one of the appliances.

Method for moving an aircraft along the ground

Device for driving at least one wheel of an aircraft landing gear, which includes at least one turbine machine incorporated into the landing gear of the aircraft. Advantageously, the turbine machine is a pneumatic turbine.

Ancillary device with an air turbine for taxiing an aircraft on the ground

The aircraft includes at least one engine suitable for propelling the aircraft in flight, at least one motor of an undercarriage, and automatic means arranged to cause the aircraft to taxi under drive directly from the engine, while simultaneously using the motor for taxiing, other than during takeoff or landing.

Aircraft including an undercarriage motor

The aircraft includes an undercarriage having an upper portion, at least one wheel for running on the ground, and a shock absorber connecting the wheel to the upper portion. The aircraft also includes a motor for driving the wheel, the motor being rigidly fastened to the upper portion.

Aircraft undercarriage with motorization and transmission

The undercarriage for aircraft comprises:

Motorized undercarriage for aircraft

An aircraft having a propeller engine mounted at the rear of the aircraft, on the back thereof, such that the axis of the engine is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The aircraft has a cell, the rear part of which comprises a horizontal empennage and two vertical empennages, positioned one at each end of said horizontal empennage. The propeller is positioned vertically in line with the rear part of the cell, and the rear part of the cell forms a lateral and downward barrier, on each side of a plane of the propeller, that screens an acoustic intensity equal to approximately&#x2212;5 dB with respect to a maximum acoustic intensity emitted by the engine.

Aircraft having a reduced environmental impact

An aircraft having reduced environmental impact includes at least one engine with at least one propeller carried, at the rear, on the top of the aircraft with the propeller(s) located in vertical alignment with the rear part of a noise barrier cell and the rear face of a burst zone situated forward of the central part of an empennage box.

Aircraft having reduced environmental impact

An aircraft includes a rear vertical tail unit having two tail fins forming, with the rear part of a fuselage, a channel on the back of the fuselage. A turbine engine is arranged on the back of the fuselage so that gas streams generated by the turbine engine penetrate into the channel. The main landing gear of the aircraft is arranged integrally beneath the fuselage. The wings of the aircraft have a slight sweep angle and a large fineness ratio.
