  • Patent number: 11841093
    Abstract: A fluidic connector to connect two ducts of a system such as an air conditioning system. The connector includes at least one elastic material, and includes a duct surrounded by an adjustable clamping collar which, when tightened, serves to deform it to reduce the internal space of the duct. The clamping of the collar makes it possible to easily and quickly regulate the rate of flow in the ducts.

  • Patent number: 11465729
    Abstract: A method for constructing at least two fleets of aircraft of different families for which each aircraft has a front part comprising windows, a framing of the windows and a windshield front fairing, comprising, for each aircraft, constructing a module composed of the framing of all of the windows allowing outward visibility from the cockpit and of the windshield front fairing whose form is identical and constant for all the aircraft of the fleets and independent of a form of the fuselages thereof, and constructing a section of fuselage of which at least a part of an edge of the fuselage is of a form identical to an edge of the module, such that the module can be assembled directly with the contiguous fuselage section, whatever the aircraft of the fleets.

  • Patent number: 9976482
    Abstract: An antifreeze system for a pipework, the antifreeze system comprising a framework configured to be fixed to the pipework, and at least one thermally insulating sleeve maintained around the pipework by the framework. Each sleeve is configured so that a space is produced between the sleeve and the pipework. The framework has an inlet and an outlet which are configured to produce a fluid communication between the outer side of the antifreeze system and the space. The inlet is fluidly connected to a source of hot air. Such an antifreeze system thus enables a flow of hot air around the pipework which thus prevents the liquid which flows therein from freezing.

  • Patent number: 9751620
    Abstract: An aircraft with a landing gear, a compartment to stow the landing gear and doors for the compartment movable between an open position and a closed position. The movement of the doors is controlled by a maneuvering system having two transmission chains or linkages each connecting one of the doors to an actuation member that includes a rotatable arm and an actuating cylinder. Each transmission chain or linkage has a relay element mounted pivotably on a structural element of the aircraft, a first connection element between the arm and the relay element, and a second connection element between the door and the relay element.

  • Patent number: 9701400
    Abstract: An aircraft comprising a first door and a second door, each being mobile between an open position and a closed position, and a maneuvering system. The maneuvering system includes an actuation mechanism, a first transmission chain configured to transmit the movements of the actuation mechanism to the first door, a second transmission chain configured to transmit the movements of the actuation mechanism to the second door. Such a maneuvering system uses a single actuation mechanism, which results in a simplification of the mechanism and a weight saving.

  • Patent number: 9499258
    Abstract: A device for concomitant opening or closing of two flaps of a door of an aircraft retractable landing gear. The device comprises a single actuating means for the opening or the closing of the two flaps under the effect of its extension or of its retraction. The actuating means comprises a first end linked to the structure of the aircraft, and a movable part. The device comprises a swinging arm comprising a first end linked by a pivot to the structure, and a second end linked to the movable part of the actuating means by a link having a degree of rotational freedom about an axis parallel to the axis of the pivot. The second end of the swinging arm is furthermore respectively linked to a first tie rod linked to a first of the two flaps, and to a second tie rod linked to a second of the two flaps.
