Abstract
The detection device includes, but is not limited to a device that is configured to determine a control error corresponding to the difference between a first control instruction and a control surface position, a second device that is configured to calculate the difference between this control error and a second control instruction in such a way as to form a comparison signal, and a third device that is configured to detect a jamming of the control surface if this comparison signal is greater than a threshold value.
