  • Patent number: 11878809
    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion assembly includes a first engine and a second engine that are adjacent and a nacelle in which the engines are installed. The nacelle includes a common air inlet lip for the first engine and the second engine, the air flow being divided between the first engine and the second engine by a median lip which extends, at least partly, set back from said common air inlet lip. The common are inlet lip includes, directly in line with the median lip, a bottom lobe and a top lobe extending forward of the nacelle. Such a configuration makes it possible to be able to provide a high aerodynamic form between the fairings of the engines, without the risk of generating overspeeds in the air flow.

  • Patent number: 11708168
    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion unit includes a drive unit with a static part and a rotary part which rotates a fan situated downstream from the drive unit, an assembly of fixed blades situated downstream from the fan, and a nacelle in which the fan and the assembly of fixed blades are accommodated. The propulsion unit also includes an assembly of at least two coaxial shafts, wherein a fan shaft connects the fan to the rotary part, and a stator blading shaft connecting the assembly of fixed blades to the static part extends concentrically, and for at least part of its length in the interior of the fan shaft. This rigid and compact configuration limits the variations of distance between the end of the fan blades and a fan housing situated in the inner duct of the nacelle.

  • Publication number: 20200216182
    Abstract: A propulsion system for an aircraft including a fuselage and a wing assembly. The propulsion system includes a first propulsion device at the level of the rear part of the fuselage and constituted of at least one BLI propulsion unit including a fan, a second propulsion device constituted of at least one conventional propulsion unit, and a transmission device coupling the first and second propulsion devices. The second propulsion system therefore generates the energy necessary for driving in rotation the fan of the BLI propulsion unit or units. The thrust produced by the propulsion devices contributes to generating the total thrust of the aircraft. In this propulsion system at least one conventional propulsion unit constituting the second propulsion device is situated on one side of the rear part of the fuselage between the tail of the fuselage and the wing assembly of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 10633101
    Abstract: In order to further benefit from the principle of boundary layer ingestion by engines of an aircraft assembly, the rear portion of the fuselage of this aircraft assembly includes a front portion which splits up into at least two distinct rear portions, spaced apart from each other, and each integrating the rotary ring of the receiver of one of the engines.

  • Patent number: 8596574
    Abstract: A streamlined profile reducing the speed deficit in a wake, a pylon with such a profile, a propulsion assembly including such a pylon and an aircraft including this assembly. The profile has a device for suction of air from the boundary layer formed on this profile. This suctioned air is discharged with the aid of a nozzle the outlet of which is situated close to the trailing edge of the profile. Suction of the air and discharge thereof contribute to reducing the speed deficit downstream from the profile and therefore to reducing the turbulences in this zone.
