Abstract
A device including a first data generating unit for determining at least one aerodynamic hinge moment of at least one control surface of the aircraft, a second data generating unit for determining a plurality of data and at least one external static pressure and a model of hinge moment coefficient, a computation unit for computing with the aid of these data at least one speed of the aircraft, namely a Mach number and/or a conventional speed, and a data transmission unit for providing this speed to a user system.
