An adjustment device for adjusting the position of the center of gravity of an aircraft, the aircraft having at least two thrust production units that contribute at least to providing the aircraft with lift, the adjustment device comprising at least one heavy member that is movable relative to an airframe of the aircraft and also at least one actuator for causing the heavy member to move. The adjustment device includes an avionics system configured to detect a failure of any one of the thrust production units and, in the presence of such a failure, to control the at least one actuator to cause the heavy member to move.
