Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Method and device for an optimal management of the energy of an aircraft. The device ( 1 ) includes means ( 5 ) for determining, in an iterative manner, according to a predicted energy state and according to a management strategy, optimal commands of means (S 1, S 2, S 3, S 4, S 5, S 6 ) for controlling the energy of the aircraft, which allow the aircraft to reach a given point of a trajectory in a given operational state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An optimized energy management method for an aircraft, upon a flight along a predetermined trajectory so as to join a given point of said trajectory in a given operational state characterized by a set of constraints, a method wherein, upon the flight of the aircraft along said trajectory until said given point, automatically and repetitively, the sequence of successive steps is implemented as follow: a) the current values of parameters of the aircraft…
