VIEWING DEVICE FOR AN AIRCRAFT COMPRISING MEANS FOR DISPLAYING AIRCRAFT EXHIBITING A RISK OF COLLISION
First Claim
1. Viewing system of the synthetic vision type SVS, for a first aircraft, the said system comprising at least one cartographic database, of a terrain position sensors for the said aircraft, an air traffic detection system (605) calculating the position and the danger rating of at least one second aircraft exhibiting a risk of collision with the said first aircraft on the basis of data originating from reconnaissance sensors, an electronic computer, a man-machine interface means and a display screen, the computer comprising means for processing the various items of information originating from the database, sensors and interface means, the said processing means arranged so as to provide the display screen with a synthetic image of the terrain comprising a representation of the said second aircraft, wherein the said representation comprises a first symbol representing in a stylized manner the said second aircraft and a second symbol, situated to the right of the first symbol when the second aircraft is facing towards the first aircraft and situated to the left of the first symbol when the second aircraft is facing away from the first aircraft or vice versa.
