A system includes input or output channels linked to nominal and redundant equipment items, and at least one redundancy matrix for routing the signals of a channel from one equipment item to a redundant or nominal equipment item, represented by a connection grid having rows corresponding to the channels of the system and columns corresponding to the equipment items of the system, and connection points comprising: the points of intersection of a nominal path situated on a nominal diagonal of the connection grid, and the points of intersection of a redundant path of the connection grid situated between each row corresponding to a channel Ci and a column corresponding to a redundant element Rƒ(i) of index ƒ(i), f being surjective, the redundancy matrix being implemented in the form of a circuit comprising switches arranged according to the connection grid.

An elementary microstrip antenna includes a stack of layers, stacked in a direction z, the stack comprising: a first conductive radiating element of disc shape having a first centre, an axis in the direction z and passing through the first centre being called the central axis; a coupling assembly configured to couple an exciting device and the first radiating element, the coupling assembly comprising: a first slot comprising a centre called the slot centre located on the central axis; a second slot comprising a centre coincident with the slot centre, and substantially perpendicular to the first slot, the first and second slots each comprising circularly arcuate ends on the same circle centred on the slot centre; the slots and the stacked layers being configured so that a transverse footprint of the elementary antenna is disc-shaped.

Disclosed is a method for identifying a landing zone and for displaying on a head-up display system onboard an aircraft, a symbol conforming to the landing zone, the aircraft being apt to fly over a terrain and to land on the landing zone of the terrain. The aircraft is a helicopter, a drone or an electric aircraft with vertical take-off and landing. The method includes at least the following steps:—a hovering phase of the aircraft over the landing zone and acquisition of the geographical position of the landing zone;—a flight of the aircraft towards the landing zone and display on the head-up display system, of a symbol conforming to the landing zone at the measured geographic position.

Abrégé

Computer-implemented devices and methods for analysing navigation databases are provided, particularly including the steps of: comparing two databases and determining a list of different procedures between the databases (referred to as deviations); describing one or more of these procedures by N distinct flight scenarios, corresponding to different combinations of variations in flight parameter values (combinations of variations in performance, meteorological and/or speed parameters); in an aeronautical computer e.g. FMS, for one flight scenario, determining one or more flyable trajectories associated with one (or more or each) ΔP procedure. Developments describe determining operational impacts, machine learning processes, analyses of deviation by trajectory, by procedure or by deviations between procedures. System and software aspects are described.
