Abstract
For a rotative winged aircraft having a variable pitch sustaining rotor capable of effecting direct takeoff and having a landing wheel with a wheel brake, a primary pilot's control organ for controlling the direct takeoff manoeuvre, said primary control organ being adjustable between a position providing a nonlifting rotor blade pitch angle and initiation of rotation of the rotor in preparation for direct takeoff and a position providing a direct takeoff rotor blade pitch setting, mechanism interrelating the operation of said primary control organ and the wheel brake and providing for application of the wheel brake upon adjustment of the control organ to lower the blade pitch and initiate rotation of the rotor prior to takeoff and for release of the wheel brake upon adjustment of the primary control organ to effect direct takeoff, and separately controllable means for applying the wheel brake independently of the primary control organ.
