A crocodile-type flight control surface comprising an upper foil flap, a lower foil flap, an actuating mechanism which guarantees the rotational displacement of each foil flap about a joint axis, either in the same direction or in different directions, and a locking mechanism alternatively adopting a locking position in which the upper foil flap and the lower foil flap are fixed with respect to each other and an unlocking position in which the upper foil flap and the lower foil flap are free with respect to the other. A crocodile-type flight control surface of this kind is therefore stiffened by the locking mechanism that joins the two foil flaps.

Crocodile-type flight control surface for aircraft with locking mechanism for additional stiffness

An aircraft comprising an air conditioning system for a cabin of the aircraft. The system comprises a mixer unit capable of mixing air that has already circulated in the cabin and fresh air from the engines of the aircraft. The air mixed in this way is then channeled towards the cabin to ventilate it. The aircraft has an airtight bulkhead allowing the cabin to be separated from a rear compartment, in such a manner as to prevent any direct exchange of air between said cabin and said compartment. This airtight bulkhead constitutes a wall delimiting the mixer unit, at least in part.

Aircraft provided with an improved air conditioning system

The invention relates to an angle measurement probe on board an aircraft, which comprises a fin, which can move in rotation about an axis, at least one first optical encoder and one second optical encoder, each comprising at least one disk, each disk being fixed at right angles to the central axis and being provided with at least two circular tracks, each track being provided with alternate opaque and transparent zones, means for processing the output signal from each encoder.
