Abstract:
1. A process for automatically optimizing on the ground the aerodynamic configuration of an aircraft equipped with wings which are provided with spoilers, wherein, I/ monitoring the aircraft to check whether it is on the ground, and if so, the following operations are performed: II/a) determining the current value of at least one control parameter of the aircraft; b) using at least the current value to determine a criterion; and c) using the criterion and a plurality of predetermined optimum deflection angle commands to determine a current deflection angle command, wherein in step II/a), the current value of at least one of the following control parameters is determined: wherein in step II/c), said current deflection angle command is determined using said criterion and a predetermined curve which shows the deflection angle command as a function of the criterion value, said curve including said optimum Deflection angle commands and transitions between such optimum deflection angle commands.
