Patent ID: 8825231

Claim:
Method for piloting a flying craft ( 1 ) by propulsion unit configured to provide said flying craft with thrust, said propulsion unit configured to be oriented relative to the rear end ( 1 R) of said flying craft, according to which method, in accordance with a servo loop: the attitude (θ M ) of said flying craft ( 1 ) is measured, and the orientation (β) of said propulsion unit ( 2 ) is adjusted as a function of said attitude measurement (θ M ), in such a way as to stabilise said flying craft ( 1 ) on its flight path, wherein the attitude (θ M ) of said flying craft ( 1 ) is measured in the vicinity of said rear end ( 1 R), wherein, when adjusting the orientation (β) of said propulsion unit ( 2 ), angular (δθ M , δθ T T) and linear (δy M , δy T ) deformations at the rear end ( 1 R) of said flying craft ( 1 ) and at the location (M) of the attitude measurement (θ M ) are taken into account.
