Abstract

A display system for an aircraft includes a central unit configured to determine a speed vector of the aircraft and to determine a longitudinal margin of maneuver of the aircraft. The longitudinal margin of maneuver is expressed as a load factor and is related to one of a pitch-up maneuver and a pitch-down maneuver. The display system also includes a display unit connected to the central unit. The display unit includes a display screen configured to display a first characteristic sign illustrating the speed vector and a second characteristic sign illustrating the longitudinal margin of maneuver.
