  • Publication number: 20240026819
    Abstract: A propulsion unit for an aircraft includes a gas generator and an air intake with an upstream annular lip that is axially translatable. The propulsion unit further includes a sealing system of an annular shape that is borne by the lip at its downstream edge. The sealing system has an annular envelope with a downstream annular surface configured to bear on an upstream edge of the rest of the air intake. The sealing system also includes at least one elastically deformable member situated at the downstream edge of the lip and configured to be elastically deformed by compression and to exert an elastic return force on the envelope.

  • Patent number: 10087781
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a centering device for a nacelle of a turbojet engine providing the flush centering of an outer downstream panel of a thrust reverser with respect to a cowl of a fan casing. The centering device includes, in one single piece: a sub plate allowing the fixing of the centering device to the fan casing; a first positioning arm integrally formed with the sub plate, protruding upstream, in such a manner as to form, with respect to a directing axis (A) of the nacelle; a first radial abutment designed for guiding the cowl of the fan casing; and a second positioning arm, integrally formed with the sub plate, protruding downstream, in such a manner as to form, with respect to the directing axis (A) of the nacelle, a second radial abutment designed for guiding the outer downstream panel.

  • Patent number: 9382814
    Abstract: A device for connecting a thrust reverser front frame to a fan casing includes a crenulated flange secured to the front frame, an annular component to accept this flange secured to the fan casing, and a crenulated annulus of a shape that complements the flange and pivot-mounted on the annular component. The crenulated flange, the annular component and the crenulated annulus are designed in such a way that a rotation of the annulus with respect to the annular component has the effect of locking this flange against this annular component through the collaboration between the respective crenulations of the flange and of the annulus.

  • Publication number: 20160053720
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a thrust reverser device for a nacelle of a by-pass turbojet engine, including: a cowl moving alternately between a deployed position in which the cowl opens a passage within the nacelle and a retracted position in which the cowl closes the passage; a locking/unlocking system to lock and unlock the cowl, the locking/unlocking system moving alternately between a closed position in which a bolt cooperates with a striker so as to hold the cowl in the retracted position, and an open position in which the bolt releases the striker, so as to allow a switching of the cowl from the retracted position to the deployed position; and a device for mechanically inhibiting the cowl from a movement, holding in the retracted position. In particular, the mechanical inhibition device holds the locking/unlocking system in the closed position.
