  • Patent number: 11872617
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing annular sectors of an air intake lip includes arranging a revolution-shaped blank facing a three-dimensional forming surface of a die of a hydroforming tool, the three-dimensional surface including at least two plunging cavities spaced from each other along a circumferential direction, forming an air intake lip preform in one piece by hydroforming the revolution-shaped blank on the three-dimensional surface of the die, the air intake lip preform having in section a U-shape and including a plurality of crenellated portions each delimited by a plunging cavity, the production of a plurality of cutouts in the air intake lip preform so as to divide the preform into a plurality of annular sectors, each cutout including the removal of a sacrificial portion at the level of a crenellated portion so as to form two adjacent assembly edges with one of the two adjacent assembly edges including a plunging.

  • Publication number: 20230287835
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing an air intake lip comprising: the arrangement of a blank facing a three-dimensional forming surface of a die of a hydroforming tool, the forming of an air intake lip preform by hydroforming the blank on the three-dimensional surface of the die, the air intake lip preform having in section a U-shape, the outer wall of the air intake lip comprising at least one hollow housing with an inturned edge and a bottom, the housing having a shape corresponding to the shape of the at least one opening cavity, the cutting of an opening in each hollow housing keeping at least the inturned edge so as to obtain an air intake lip comprising at least one opening having an edge integrally formed with the outer wall of the lip.

  • Publication number: 20220042455
    Abstract: An air intake of a turbojet engine nacelle includes an air intake lip, an annular structure, a rear partition, and at least one acoustic attenuation structure. The annular structure includes at least a part of an outer fairing and an inner fairing joined to each other by the air intake lip. The rear partition is connected to the inner fairing. The acoustic attenuation structure is attached to the inner fairing of the annular structure. At least part of the outer fairing, the air intake lip and the inner fairing are integral with each other.
