According to the invention, during take-off, the aircraft (AC) is given an attitude (θc) close to the tail-touching attitude and the ailerons (6G, 6D) are fully deflected downwards.

1. A method for dramatically reducing the take-off run of an aircraft (AC), wherein the aircraft (AC) comprises at least one piloting stick (14),a main landing gear (11),ailerons (6G, 6D), anddepth moving aerodynamic surfaces (7, 9G, 9D),wherein the method is implemented in flight control calculator
1. A method for dramatically reducing the take-off run of an aircraft (AC), wherein the aircraft (AC) comprises at least one piloting stick (14),a main landing gear (11),ailerons (6G, 6D), anddepth moving aerodynamic surfaces (7, 9G, 9D),wherein the method is implemented in flight control calculators of said aircraft (AC), provided with information about the tilting (β) of said piloting stick (14) and the attitude (θ) of said aircraft (AC),wherein the take-off run is a period during which said aircraft (AC) is running on a take-off runway (RW) by accelerating with said main landing gear (11) compressed by the mass of said aircraft and by ground effect and with said ailerons (6G, 6D) occupying a position (αD) partly deflected downwards to maximize the fineness ratio of said aircraft,wherein a tilting threshold (Sβ) is at least equal to a take-off tilting (β0) usually used during a regular take-off,the method comprising:tilting said piloting stick (14) in the nose up direction to deflect said depth aerodynamic surfaces (7, 9G, 9D) upwards to provide said aircraft with a high value attitude (θc) at which the tail of said aircraft approaches but does not strike the take-off runway (RW);setting a stick criterion (Cβ) the value of which is 0 below said tilting threshold (Sβ) and the value of which increases from 0 to 1 between said tilting threshold (Sβ) and a controlled tilting value (βc) close to, but lower than, the maximum nose-up tilting (βm) of said stick;setting an attitude criterion (Cθ), the value of which is 0 below said attitude threshold (Sθ) and the value of which increases from 0 to 1 between said attitude threshold (Sθ) and a controlled attitude value (θc) close to, but lower than, a tail strike attitude (θTS), at which the tail of said aircraft would strike the runway;setting, an aileron deflection criterion from the greater of the stick criterion (Cβ) and the attitude criterion (Cθ), wherein the aileron deflection criterion steadily increases from the value (αD) corresponding to the partly deflected position downwards to the value (αM) corresponding to the fully deflected position downwards, when said greater criterion switches from the value of 0 to the value of 1;after said deflection upwards and while said main landing gear (11) is still compressed, fully deflecting said ailerons (6G, 6D) downwards (αM), symmetrically, from their position (αD) partly deflected downwards;continuing acceleration of the aircraft until take-off, while maintaining the high value attitude (θc) position and while maintaining said ailerons (6G, 6D) fully deflected downwards. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said full symmetrical deflection downwards of said ailerons (6G, 6D) is only allowed above a tilting threshold (Sβ) of said stick (14) in the nose-up direction. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said full symmetrical deflection downwards of said ailerons (6G, 6D) is only allowed above a nose-up attitude threshold (Sθ). 4. The method according to claim 3, wherein said nose-up attitude threshold (S∂) is at least equal to the maximum attitude value (θ0) imposed on said aircraft so that a tail strike during a regular take-off rotation is avoided. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein, after ballasting-up of said main landing gear (11), said ailerons (6G, 6D) are brought back from the fully deflected position downwards (αm) to said partly deflected position downwards (αD). 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said flight control calculators are provided with information about whether the aircraft is on the ground or not, the method further comprising: setting a ground criterion, which assumes the value of 0 when the aircraft is in flight and the value of 1 when the aircraft is on the ground; andmultiplying the greater of two criteria that are the stick criterion (Cβ) and the attitude criterion (Cθ) by said ground criterion, before setting said aileron deflection criterion (Cα). 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the high value attitude is such that the tail of said aircraft is a distance of about 3 feet from the take-off runway. 8. An aircraft, implementing a method for dramatically reducing the take-off run of the aircraft (AC), wherein the aircraft (AC) comprises at least one piloting stick (14),a main landing gear (11),ailerons (6G, 6D), anddepth moving aerodynamic surfaces (7, 9G, 9D),wherein the method is implemented in flight control calculators of said aircraft (AC), provided with information about the tilting (β) of said piloting stick (14) and the attitude (θ) of said aircraft (AC),wherein the take-off run is a period during which said aircraft (AC) is running on a take-off runway (RW) by accelerating with said main landing gear (11) compressed by the mass of said aircraft and by ground effect and with said ailerons (6G, 6D) occupying a position (αD) partly deflected downwards to maximize the fineness ratio of said aircraft,wherein a tilting threshold (Sβ) is at least equal to a take-off tilting (β0) usually used during a regular take-off,the method comprising:tilting said piloting stick (14) in the nose up direction to deflect said depth aerodynamic surfaces (7, 9G, 9D) upwards to provide said aircraft with a high value attitude (θc) at which the tail of said aircraft approaches but does not strike the take-off runway (RW);setting a stick criterion (Cβ), the value of which is 0 below said tilting threshold (Sβ) and the value of which increases from 0 to 1 between said tilting threshold (Sβ) and a controlled tilting value (βc) close to, but lower than, the maximum nose-up (βm) of said stick;setting an attitude criterion (Cθ), the value of which is 0 below said attitude threshold (Sθ) and the value of which increases from 0 to 1 between said attitude threshold (Sθ) and a controlled attitude value (θc) close to, but lower than, a tail strike attitude (θTS), at which the tail of said aircraft would strike the runway;setting, an aileron deflection criterion from the greater of the stick criterion (Cβ) and the attitude criterion (Cθ), wherein the aileron deflection criterion steadily increases from the value (αD) corresponding to the partly deflected position downwards to the value (αM) corresponding to the fully deflected position downwards, when said greater criterion switches from the value of 0 to the value of 1;after said deflection upwards and while said main landing gear (11) is still compressed, fully deflecting said ailerons (6G, 6D) downwards (αM), symmetrically, from their position (αD) partly deflected downwards;continuing acceleration of the aircraft until take-off, while maintaining the high value attitude (θc) position and while maintaining said ailerons (6G, 6D) fully deflected downwards.
