An aeronautical software application development workbench handling the production of a graphical human-machine interface on one or more display equipment systems comprises computer means processing software tools for creating, simulating or integrating graphical functions or 'widgets' and logic functions for modifying the content of the graphical functions according to incoming events on the display equipment system or systems, said widgets being described in a file called 'Definition File'. The workbench includes a single graphical editor for designing the user application, the technical characteristic of which is to produce a structured language which describes each widget contained in the definition file and which associates consumed variables called &#x201c;input plugs&#x201d; with the modifiable attributes of said widget and produced variables called &#x201c;output plugs&#x201d; with the notifications of the events produced by said widget.

Aeronautical software application development workbench comprising a structured functional description language

A device for aiding the deck-landing of an aircraft, the aircraft being controlled remotely from a mobile station, such as a ship, includes means for receiving data from the aircraft, notably attitudes of the aircraft, the aircraft hovering ready to land on deck, the deck-landing decision having to be taken under certain conditions that must all be met, the device including a computer making it possible to deliver temporal indicators indicating that all the conditions are met. The device includes a temporal gauge including a temporal graduation indicating mobile graphical zones representing the periods during which all the conditions are met for authorizing a deck-landing.

Decision aid device for assisting the landing of an aircraft on the deck of a ship

The device for checking speed intended for an aircraft ready to land on deck on a moving vehicle, the aircraft having a current vertical speed, called the first speed, and a threshold value of vertical downward speed relating to the vertical speed of the moving vehicle, called the 'low threshold', the ship having an absolute vertical speed, called the second speed, comprises a display and means for receiving data originating from the aircraft, notably its vertical absolute speed. The device includes a calculator making it possible to generate on the display a graduated speed gauge including a fixed cursor indicating the first vertical speed and a second moving cursor indicating the speed of the ship, a third moving cursor indicating the low threshold, the graduation being centered around the value of the first vertical speed.
