1. A process for automatically optimizing on the ground the aerodynamic configuration of an aircraft equipped with wings which are provided with spoilers, wherein,
I/ monitoring the aircraft to check whether it is on the ground, and if so, the following operations are performed: II/a) determining the current value of at least one control parameter of the aircraft; b) using at least the current value to determine a criterion; and c) using the criterion and a plurality of predetermined optimum deflection angle commands to determine a current deflection angle command,
each of said optimum deflection angle commands relating to the deflection of the spoilers and being optimised to provide the aircraft with an aerodynamic configuration for optimising a particular parameter, wherein the current deflection angle command, when applied to said spoilers, provides the aircraft with an optimum aerodynamic configuration for the current situation of the aircraft, wherein in step II/a), the current value of at least one of the following control parameters is determined:
the position of a control stick of the aircraft, which enables a pilot to control the pitch of said aircraft; andthe trim of the aircraft, wherein in step II/c), said current deflection angle command is determined using said criterion and a predetermined curve which shows the deflection angle command as a function of the criterion value, said curve including said optimum Deflection angle commands and transitions between such optimum deflection angle commands. |
