1. A data viewing system for an aircraft, said viewing system (1) comprising:

  • a plurality of image sources (S1, S2, S3, Sn) generating compound images corresponding to data of video type and/or data of image type;

    first means (5) for determine the current values of parameters of the aircraft;

    a plurality of viewing screens (E1, E2, E3, Ei) suitable for viewing the compound images; and

    control means (4) for said viewing system (1),which moreover comprises;

    second means (6) for detecting any anomaly relating to at least one of said viewing screens; and

    a single concentration means (7), which is connected at one and the same time to all said image sources (S1, S2, S3, Sn), to all said viewing screens (E1, E2, E3, Ei), to said first means (5) and to said second means (6), and which comprises;

    an element for acquiring all the compound images generated by said image sources (S1, S2, S3, Sn);

    an element for processing these compound images in such a way as to render them compatible with display formats of said viewing screens (E1, E2, E3, Ei);

    an element for managing the display implemented on all said viewing screens (E1, E2, E3, Ei), which is such that any of said compound images may be viewed on any of said viewing screens; and

    a selection element for automatically selecting at least one compound image generated by one of said image sources, as well as an associated viewing screen, as a function at one and the same time of integrated display logic, said current values of parameters of the aircraft, determined by said first means (5), and as appropriate an anomaly pertaining to at least one of said viewing screens and signaled by said second means (6).
