Abstract

See full text

An aircraft having an elongated fuselage and a lifting surface fastened to the fuselage. The aircraft has a device for controlling the torque around the yaw axis GZ of the aircraft in which aerodynamic forms that have devices to generate aerodynamic drag are fastened to each end of the lifting surface at non-zero distances from each side of a vertical plane of symmetry XZ of the aircraft. The drag-generating devices are commanded to produce a different aerodynamic drag at each of the two ends to generate a yaw torque on the aircraft. The aerodynamic forms, for example, have winglets improving the aerodynamics of the lifting surface, and are provided with aerodynamic drag generators.
