  • Publication number: 20230339593
    Abstract: An aircraft fuselage is configured to receive two tanks designed to contain liquid hydrogen. The fuselage includes a first section for a cockpit, a second section for a passenger cabin and a third section (T3) distinct from the first section (T1) and from the second section (T2). The third section (T3) includes two housings each to house a tank. The two housings are arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane of symmetry (P1). This arrangement of the tanks in a section distinct from the other sections allows them to be located as close as possible to the motors that they have to supply.

  • Publication number: 20180186463
    Abstract: A primary structure of a support pylon for an aircraft engine assembly. The primary structure includes a pyramidal part, the pyramidal part including a single rib, the single rib forming the base of the pyramidal part, and straight, upright members converging towards an apex point of the pyramidal part, a fastening interface being provided at the apex of the pyramidal part. A pyramidal part based on upright members converging towards the apex of the pyramid enables loads in the upright members to be distributed, via a simple structure. This structure furthermore enables the integration of components within the pyramidal part.

  • Publication number: 20180178923
    Abstract: Fixation of an aircraft engine attachment pylon to the wing of an aircraft by means of an attachment device attached to a wing structure by means of first attachment through-members. The attachment device and the attachment pylon have respective junction surfaces clamped to each other by means of second attachment through-members. The junction surfaces extend along a plane forming an angle of less than 45 degrees with a vertical direction of the aircraft. A method for assembling the attachment pylon to the wing includes the positioning of the attachment pylon facing the attachment device, and then the clamping of the respective junction surfaces of the attachment device and of the attachment pylon to each other via the second attachment through-members.

  • Publication number: 20180162514
    Abstract: An aircraft comprising at least one power plant linked to an airfoil by a power plant support structure comprising a primary structure housed in an aerodynamic fairing. The power plant is formed overhanging behind the airfoil, mostly or wholly above the upper surface of the airfoil. The aircraft comprises a main landing gear comprising at least one landing gear element linked to the airfoil of the aircraft by a support structure. The primary structure and the support structure of the landing gear element are formed by a common structure. The use of such a common structure allows a general optimization of the architecture of the aircraft by virtue of the synergies between the positioning of the power plant, the primary structure of its strut, and the support structure of the main landing gear.

  • Patent number: 9902501
    Abstract: A propeller for a turbomachine intended to be driven in rotation about a propeller rotation axis and including variable pitch blades. The propeller further includes a structure for radial retention of the blades in the event of them breaking. The retaining structure extends around the propeller rotation axis and has the aerodynamic part of each blade of the propeller pass through it. Moreover, each aerodynamic part is equipped with an abutment configured to be retained radially by the retaining structure in the event of a blade fracture causing a fracture in the aerodynamic part radially inside the abutment.
