A device for selectively connecting a tire to a pneumatic unit of an aircraft, the tire forming part of a wheel mounted to rotate on a hollow axle of the aircraft, the device comprising a stator and a rotor that is mounted to rotate relative to the stator and that includes a structure enabling it to be rotated by the wheel. The stator is bell-shaped and is designed to be received as a push-fit in the axle, and includes an end wall carrying a first pneumatic port for connection to the pneumatic unit via a tube running along the inside of the axle, the rotor extending substantially inside the stator.

The invention relates to a hydraulic steering system architecture comprising at least one steering control actuator having chambers connected to the outlets of a directional-control valve, an accumulator, and an electrically-driven pump unit associated with an emergency supply. The hydraulic system also comprises a general selector arranged, in a normal mode of operation, to connect the feed port of the directional-control valve to a pressure-generator device and the return port of the directional-control valve to a main supply associated with the pressure-generator device, while also ensuring that the emergency supply is filled, and in an alternate mode of operation, to connect the feed port of the directional-control valve to the accumulator.

Hydraulic system architecture for controlling steering

A latch device, in particular for latching an airplane landing gear or an airplane landing gear hatch, the device comprising a box containing a set of hinged elements mounted to pivot about respective parallel axes, said assembly including at least one hook and a locking lever connected to said hook by an associated elastically deformable return device, said hook being capable of being unlocked by acting on said locking lever either via first actuator device in a normal mode of operation, or via a second actuator device in an emergency mode of operation when said first actuator device fails to unlock the hook. In accordance with the invention, the second actuator device associated with the emergency mode of operation is an electromechanical actuator under independent electrical control, said actuator comprising two electric motors associated in irreversible manner with a common differential gear train, having an outlet shaft controlling the pivoting of an emergency unlocking lever co-operating with the locking lever used in normal operation.

In accordance with the invention, the first actuator means associated with the normal mode of operation is a low power electromechanical actuator under independent electrical control.

Latch device, in particular for latching an airplane landing gear or an airplane landing gear hatch, and a method of operating said device

The invention relates to an architecture for a hydraulic steering control system including at least one actuator; the hydraulic system comprises a directional-control valve connected to a pressure-generator device and to an associated main supply, the hydraulic system further comprising a reversible electrically-driven pump unit having two ports and being fitted with a general selector arranged, in a normal mode of operation, to put the chambers of the actuator into communication with the directional-control valve, and in an alternate mode of operation to put the chambers of the actuator into communication with the ports of the pump unit. A compensation device makes it possible in the alternate mode to compensate for any flow differential between the flow drawn in by the pump unit from one of the chambers of the actuator and the flow delivered by the pump unit into the other chamber of the actuator.
