Abstract
A device for managing the mechanical energy of an aircraft, having an energy management auxiliary system, includes a support defining a guide, a centralized control lever for varying the energy of the aircraft, at least one position sensor detecting the position of the centralized control lever in the guide. The position sensor is configured to create position information for the position of the centralized control lever in the guide intended to be sent to a flight control unit of the aircraft. The device also includes an auxiliary support; for the or each motor of the aircraft, an individual control lever for the individual propulsion of the motor, mounted movably in the auxiliary support; and at least one auxiliary position sensor detecting the position of the or each individual lever configured to generate information intended to be sent to the flight control unit of the aircraft.
