MULTI-ENGINE AIRCRAFT PROVIDED WITH ECONOMY OPERATING MODE AND METHOD APPLIED
A method for controlling an aircraft with a rotary wing provided with a power plant comprising a plurality of engines, the aircraft comprising a human-machine interface controlling a control member capable of acting on a longitudinal acceleration of the aircraft. During the economy operating mode during which one of the engines does not supply power, the method comprises measuring a forward speed of the aircraft, and adjusting an authority of the human-machine interface over the longitudinal acceleration with a flight control computer as a function of the forward speed.

COLLECTIVE CONTROL STICK MOUNTED THROTTLE CONTROL ASSEMBLY
An aircraft includes an electronically controlled engine (ECE) and a first and a second throttle control assembly. The first throttle control assembly includes a first throttle fly button configured to command a FLY mode and a first throttle idle button configured to command an IDLE mode. The second throttle control assembly includes a second throttle fly button configured to command the FLY mode and a second throttle idle button configured to command the IDLE mode.
Aircraft throttle control device including a cam coupling
An aeroengine control device including a mount and having pivotally mounted thereon a code wheel together with a main lever and a secondary lever, both for turning the code wheel. Each lever is movable between a rest position and a maximum actuation position. The secondary lever is mounted to pivot on the main lever. Cam paths are mounted on the code wheel and on the mount in such a manner that the main lever can move the code wheel when the main lever is moved while the secondary lever is in the rest position. The secondary lever can move the code wheel when the secondary lever is moved while the main lever is in the rest position, with movement of either lever being prevented when the other lever is clearly away from its rest position.

JET AIRCRAFT MANEUVERING CHARACTERISTIC SIMULATION SYSTEM FOR SINGLE PROPELLER AIRCRAFT AND SINGLE PROPELLER AIRCRAFT
A jet aircraft maneuvering characteristic simulation system for a single propeller aircraft includes a power lever, speed brakes, and a controller. The power lever is configured to change a thrust of the single propeller aircraft. The speed brakes are provided on respective right and left sides of the single propeller aircraft. The controller is configured to, in response to an operation of the power lever to raise the thrust of the single propeller aircraft, deploy both the right and the left speed brakes to cause an increase in speed of the single propeller aircraft to be moderate, and control the speed brakes to cause a force in a yaw direction and a force in a roll direction to be generated that act against a turning tendency of the single propeller aircraft by making amounts of the deployment of the right and the left speed brakes different from each other.
