A flight control device for an aircraft, in particular for a helicopter, includes, in addition to a control member and an actuator of a controlled member, a determination unit for determining a control command which corresponds to a translational rate control command, dependent on the deflection of the control member, while the translational rate of the aircraft is less than a reference value and which corresponds otherwise to a translational acceleration or angular rate control command, dependent on an extra deflection of the control member.

Aircraft flight control device

A flight control system for an aircraft, particularly for a helicopter receives a number of items of information, especially the position of flight control members of said aircraft, and sends, depending on these items of information, control inputs to controls of the aircraft. The flight control system includes at least one sensor which measures values representative of the flight of the aircraft and computing means which generate, at least from these measured values and from the positions of flight control members, corrected control inputs which are sent to the controls and which enable control of the lateral speed of the aircraft with respect to the ground, without varying the course of the aircraft.

Flight control system for an aircraft particularly for a helicopter

A flight control limiting system for a rotary-wing aircraft which generates servo-commands for at least one of a main rotor and a tail rotor. A set of first commands represents the position of at least one flight control which is movable between extreme positions, and may be controlled by the pilot. A set of second commands are generated by a flying aid system. The flight control limiting system limits the values of the set of second commands when the position of any of the flight controls is close to an extreme position, so that the servo-commands for that particular flight control corresponds to the set of first commands.
