Abstract:
1. An optimized energy management method for an aircraft, upon a flight along a predetermined trajectory so as to join a given point of said trajectory in a given operational state characterized by a set of constraints, a method wherein, upon the flight of the aircraft along said trajectory until said given point, automatically and repetitively, the sequence of successive steps is implemented as follow: a) the current values of parameters of the aircraft are determined; b) the predicted energy state of the aircraft at said point is calculated with the help of at least one prediction module ( c) the optimized command orders being thus determined are applied to said energy control means (S a method according to which a plurality of different modes is provided, each of which is associated with particular energy control means and, as a function of the management strategy used at step b), a priority order of said modes enabling the selection of the mode being used is determined through a mode management module (
