ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device for controlling the thrust of an aircraft, with several engines (M1, M4), comprising calculation units (UC1, UC4) that formulate first commands for controlling the engine speeds. According to the invention, said device (1) additionally comprises means (CONT1, CONT4) of controlling the two outer engines (M1, M4), calculation means that formulate second commands for controlling the speed of the outer engines (M1, M4) making it possible to obtain a reduction in thrust, and switching means which, during normal operation of the outer engines (M1, M4) send the first commands to these engines and, when one outer engine (M1) fails, send the second commands to the opposite outer engine (M4).
