Abstract:
A flight control system for a rotary-wing aircraft, said flight control system generating servo-commands for at least one rotor of said aircraft, said servo-commands being calculated on the basis of:first commands that represent a position of at least one flight control comprising at least one of a collective pitch lever, a cyclic pitch stick, and a rudder bar that can be moved by a pilot of said aircraft between first and second extreme positions; andsecond commands generated by a flying aid system, wherein said flight control system comprises a limiting system associated with said flying aid system for limiting the values of at least some of said second commands, depending on the position of said at least one flight control, so that when said at least one flight control is brought close to one of said first and second extreme positions, said servo-commands essentially correspond to said first commands.
