METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE YAWING MOVEMENT OF AN AIRCRAFT RUNNING ALONG THE GROUND

摘要

The invention relates to a method of controlling a yawing movement of an aircraft running along the ground, the aircraft comprising at least one first landing gear with a steerable bottom part bearing wheels. According to the invention, the method comprises the steps of: on the basis of a yaw rate setpoint {dot over (φ)}c, determining a wheel-steering prepositioning angleθp; using closed-loop control which as its input has the yaw rate setpoint and which generates a command to steer the bottom part in order to steer it through a steering angleθc equal to the sum of this prepositioning angleθp and of an angleθz which is determined taking account of an error between the yaw rate setpoint {dot over (φ)}c and the measured yaw rate {dot over (φ)}m when the steerable bottom part is steered by the steering angleθc.
