Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for supervising the propulsion system of an aircraft, including a set of sensors (C1, C2, Cn) delivering information regarding the propulsion system. According to the invention, the device moreover includes: PA1 a set of peripheral computers (M1, M2, Mp) each implementing a mathematical model representing a sub-system of propulsion system; and PA1 a main computer (CAL), which is linked to the set of sensors (C1, C2, Cn) and to the set of peripheral computers (M1, M2, Mp), which checks the intercompatibility of the information delivered by the sensors (C1, C2, Cn) and the compatibility between the information delivered and the results provided by the peripheral computers (M1, M2, Mp).
