An actuating system for pivoting a wing tip section () about a fixed wing base section (), and including a heating arrangement () positioned and adapted to be operable to heat at least one portion of an actuating arrangement () that pivots the wing tip section such that at least for ambient temperatures below a predetermined temperature the required work to be effected by the actuator () when moving the second coupling part () between the first position and the second position is lower than without heating the at least one portion.

A taxiing system for an aircraft including an undercarriage having a wheel, includes an electric motor associated with the wheel, an electric controller of the electric motor, connected to an output of an electrical power supply, and a taxiing control computer configured to determine control instructions for the electric motor and to transmit these instructions to the electric controller. The taxiing control computer is configured to receive braking of the aircraft commands during the taxiing of the aircraft and to determine control instructions for the electric motor corresponding to operation of the motor in generator mode when it receives a braking command. The electric controller is connected to an energy absorber making it possible to absorb the electric energy produced by the electric motor when the latter is operating in generator mode.

The invention concerns a device and method for checking the state of an accumulator with energy reserve that is connected to a fluid system. According to the invention, the fluid system is first of all pressurized and this fluid is maintained at an operating pressure Pfor at least a time &#x3c4; so as to ensure the stabilization of this fluid system. Then the pressurisation of the fluid system is stopped and the time &#x394;t taken by the system to pass from a predetermined pressure Pto a predetermined pressure P, with P&#x3c;P&#x3c;P, is determined. This period &#x394;t is compared with a predetermined reference time T.
