  • Patent number: 11060462
    Abstract: An aircraft turbomachine including a nacelle and an engine further including at least one outflowing jet of air, wherein a heat exchanger of the precooler type for supplying air to the aircraft is mounted in the nacelle. The exchanger includes a primary circuit, the inlet of which is connected to a supply of compressed air from the engine and the outlet of which is connected to an air supply for supplying air to the aircraft, and a secondary circuit supplied with air taken from said air flow.

  • Patent number: 10273016
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nacelle (1) for an aircraft turbojet, the nacelle comprising a frustoconical radially outer annular wall (13), a pylon (9) extending radially outwards from said annular wall, the pylon (9) being designed to fasten the nacelle (1) to a fixed portion of the airplane, said nacelle being characterized in that it is provided with at least one projecting zone (22) extending radially outwards from the frustoconical outer wall (13), said projecting zone (22) being situated in the vicinity of a downstream annular edge (14) of said outer wall (13) and in the vicinity of the pylon (9).

  • Patent number: 9175638
    Abstract: The invention aims at providing a sufficient air exchange in the engine area without raising the static pressure in the outlet area of the air exchange duct. In order to do this, the invention provides for an outlet section capable of concentrating the outlet of the exchange airflow towards zones with smaller static pressure. A turbojet engine outlet according to the invention provides an engine cowl, which comprises an external wall of a circumferential duct in which circulates an exchange airflow of the turbines, and an airflow mixer. At the outlet, the duct delivers the exchange airflow towards the mixer for the primary and secondary airflows of the turbojet engine. The mixer presents hot and cold lobes. In particular, the engine outlet also includes guiding of the exchange airflow towards the cold lobes.

  • Publication number: 20150028129
    Abstract: A biconical exhaust cone for a civil aviation jet engine, this cone delimiting, on its outside, an annular exhaust stream of combustion gases and comprising an upstream frustoconical portion extending outward from upstream to downstream and a downstream frustoconical portion extending inward from upstream to downstream, wherein the downstream frustoconical portion comprises a segment which defines an outer annular surface of which one tangent, at any point along the longitudinal axis of the cone, is inclined by an angle greater than 40° and less than 90° with respect to this longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20140311161
    Abstract: A method for creating a connecting element, arranged between two components of a structure, or a turbojet engine structure, which is subjected to compressive and/or tensile loadings and which includes a hollow shaft immersed, at least partially, in a stream of air flowing between the two components, the method including: dimensioning a width of the main cross section associated with the shaft of the connecting element in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the shaft according to desired mechanical strength and desired mass, and according to characteristics of the airstream; and working an external surface of the shaft of the connecting element, at least over part of this surface, to give it a surface finish with an arithmetic mean roughness at least equal to 20 microns, to reduce drag of the connecting element thus dimensioned by comparison with a smooth connecting element of the same diameter.
