Patent ID: 7427046

Claim:
A method of controlling the pitch of blades of a tail rotor in a rotary-wing aircraft, the method comprising the following operations: a) generating a main control ( 18 ) for the pitch of the blades of the tail rotor as a function of a first control member ( 4 b ) for controlling the pitch of the blades of the tail rotor that is actuated by a pilot of the aircraft; and b) generating a collective pitch and yaw decoupling control ( 16 ) as a function of the collective pitch of the rotary wing; c) generating a bias control ( 17 ) that is variable as a function of the flying speed (V) of the aircraft and as a function of at least one of i) the main control and ii) the position (PP) of the first control member ( 4 b ); and d) adding ( 111 ) the bias control to said decoupling control and to said main control in order to obtain an overall control ( 10 ) and thereby control the pitch of the blades of the tail rotor.
