VARIABLE HAPTIC RESTITUTION AMORTIZATION FOR AN AIRCRAFT FLIGHT ATTITUDE CHANGING CINEMATICS CHAIN

摘要

The method involves damping operations of a manual flight control device by haptic feedback defined according to a predetermined damping force relationship (A). The force relationship is predetermined as a function of an instantaneous load factor of a hybrid helicopter (1) so that instantaneous load factor is maintained between its minimum and maximum limit values in proportion to a position of a thrust control unit (20) between its minimum thrust values (22) and maximum thrust values (23). An independent claim is also included for a hybrid helicopter including a damper for implementing the method for providing haptic feedback.
