Abstract
A steering aid system for altitude and horizontal speed of an aircraft (4) includes: 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 elements (20) for slaving the signal to the reference value by pitch loop, the elements being adapted to vary automatically the pitch and/or propulsive performance of the lifting members to lock the measured signal to the reference value.

152), in which altitude and horizontal speed are controlled by varying the pitch of the aircraft and/or the power developed by the lifting means (10;
156) of the said aircraft,wherein it comprises;
a measuring device (22;
180) capable of delivering a measured signal as a function simultaneously of both the altitude of the aircraft and the horizontal speed of the aircraft;
an identical pre-set reference value (26;
182) for the altitude and the horizontal speed of the aircraft, this value being independent of variations in the said measured signal, andmeans (20;
178) forming a servoloop for slaving the signal to the said reference value, these means being capable of automatically varying the pitch and/or the power developed by the lifting means for the purpose of slaving the measured signal to the reference value. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
