Abstract: An electric propulsion assembly for an aircraft includes a nacelle having a nacelle cowl which defines an inner space for arranging an electric propulsion unit, which includes a blower, of the aircraft. An electric motor assembly is placed in the inner space and connected to the propulsion unit to supply power to the propulsion unit. An airflow generated by the blower flows in a space between the motor assembly and the nacelle cowl defining a duct to supply thrust to the aircraft. A power electronics system has at least one heat exchanger to transfer thermal energy from the system to a work fluid to cool the system. The heat exchanger is placed to project at least partially into the duct, so that the work fluid consists of the air flow generated by the blower.

Abstract: An electrical power supply device for electric propulsion aircraft includes first and second electric motors configured to ensure the propulsion of the aircraft. First and second high-voltage electrical circuits are connected respectively to the two electric motors. A low-voltage electrical circuit is connected to at least one control and/or command facility of the aircraft. First and second pack of batteries are connected respectively to the two high-voltage electrical circuits. First and second battery management systems are connected to the low voltage circuit. Two battery management systems are linked respectively to the two packs of batteries. An electrical converter is connected to the first high-voltage electrical circuit and to the low-voltage electrical circuit.

Abstract: An electromechanical machine includes at least one coil made from a material that becomes electrically superconducting when its temperature is below a critical temperature. A functional part is contained in an internal volume of a thermally insulating and fluid-tight enclosure of the machine. A wall of the insulating enclosure is traversed in a fluid-tight fashion by at least one shaft for transmitting mechanical power between the functional part located in the internal volume of the insulating enclosure and a space outside the insulating enclosure. The functional part can be used as a heat sink, pre-cooled to maintain the temperature conditions for maintaining superconductivity inside the insulating enclosure.

Abstract: A system for recharging the batteries carried on board an electrically powered aircraft. The system includes a charging aircraft, a device to temporarily and electrically connecting the charging aircraft to the electrically powered aircraft. The electrically powered aircraft includes a charge-regulating device.

Abstract: A combined rescue beacon and flight recorder device for an airplane is ejectable, buoyant and/or provided with flotation devices. The combined rescue beacon and flight recorder device comprises a frame provided with at least one outer side surface having a solar panel. The combined rescue beacon and flight recorder device is configured to be placed in a housing created in an airfoil element of the aircraft.

Abstract: A method of controlling a group (2) of engines developing a necessary power (Wnec) for driving a rotor (3), said group (2) of engines having at least one electrical member (4), electrical energy storage means (5), and a first number n of engines (6) that is greater than or equal to two. A processor unit (10) executes instructions for evaluating a main condition as to whether the group of engines can develop the necessary power while resting one engine, and if so for resting one engine and accelerating a second number engines not at rest, and for causing the electrical member to operate in motor mode, if necessary, the electrical member operating temporarily in electricity generator mode when the storage means are discharged.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine, especially a turbojet or turbofan for an aircraft, includes a combustion section and an exhaust section produces an exhaust gas. The emission products can be reduced by using a gas treatment device with a reactor and an injection device. The reactor produces a nitrogeneous substance such as ammonia. This reducing agent is injected in the gas phase in the exhaust section of the gas turbine engine. By selective non catalytic reaction the Nitrogen oxides of the exhaust gas can be reduced. Furthermore the injection device is arranged such that the temperature window of this reduction process is ranging from 850° C. to 1100° C. The reactor for producing gaseous ammonia can either be a thermal reactor or a high pressure plasma device.
