Abstract
A system for controlling at least one aircraft engine and an aircraft comprising such a control system. The system (4) comprises a control lever (5) of the engine, the intermediary range of automatic regulation thereof of the engine speed of which comprises a single marked position (II) with which there is associated a plurality of speeds, corresponding to each one of the flight phases of the aircraft (AC) such as take-off and climbing phases.
Claims7
A system for controlling at least one engine (1) of an aircraft (AC) by means of a specific moving control lever (5), comprising:
- a control lever (5) being able to occupy two extreme positions (I, III) corresponding to the idle speed (1) and to the maximum speed (III) of said engine (1), as well as an intermediary range of automatic regulation of the speed of said engine (1), the lower limit of said intermediary range being defined by the extreme position (I) corresponding to the idle speed, wherein:
- said intermediary range (6) comprises a single marked position (II), corresponding to the upper limit thereof;
- a plurality of speeds of said engine (1), corresponding to each one of the flight phases of said aircraft (AC), such as the take-off and climbing phases, is associated with said marked position (II) of the intermediary range (6);
- and
- said system (4)comprising:
- means (7) for determining the usual flight phase of said aircraft (AC);
- and
- means (8) for automatically controlling speeds of said engine (1) associated with said marked position (H) of the intermediary range (6), from information received from said determination means (7).
