STEERING AID SYSTEM FOR ALTITUDE AND HORIZONTAL SPEED, PERPENDICULAR TO THE VERTICAL, OF AN AIRCRAFT AND AIRCRAFT EQUIPPED THEREWITH

摘要

The invention concerns a steering aid system for altitude and horizontal speed of an aircraft (4) comprising: a measuring device (22) for delivering a measured signal based on the aircraft altitude and horizontal speed, a common predetermined reference value (26) for the aircraft altitude and horizontal speed, and means (20) for slaving said signal to said reference value by pitch loop, said means being adapted to vary automatically the pitch and/or propulsive performance of the lifting means to lock the measured signal to the reference value.
