  • 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.

  • Patent number: 7631486
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thrust orienting nozzle, shaped in such a way as to divide a principal propulsion gas flow coming from at least one gas generator into a first flow and a second flow for an ejection in a first half-nozzle and in a second half-nozzle and comprising at least one of following two piloting means: a means of dividing the principal flow into each of the two half-nozzles, and a means of orienting the thrust vector produced by each of the two half-nozzles. The invention applies in particular to the yaw control of an aircraft without a vertical tail unit.

  • Patent number: 7310939
    Abstract: A device for reducing the jet noise of a turbomachine, the turbomachine having a longitudinal axis and a substantially cylindrical nozzle extending along the longitudinal axis of the turbomachine, having a downstream end for mixing the flows of gas inside and outside the nozzle, the device comprising a plurality of corrugations disposed to extend the downstream end of the nozzle, and a plurality of notches disposed between pairs of successive corrugations in the plurality of corrugations, and the plurality of corrugations and the plurality of notches are symmetrical relative to at least one axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the turbomachine so as to generate a dual counter-rotating effect between the gas flows.

  • Publication number: 20070284005
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a propulsion gas exhaust assembly, in an aircraft propelled by hot gases produced along the axis of the latter by a gas generator, comprising a duct and a nozzle, wherein said duct comprises a first cylindrical duct element (21) receiving the gases and communicating downstream with two second duct elements (22, 23), the directions of which are divergent in a first plane, each of the two duct elements communicating downstream with a third duct element (25, 27) which emerges in an axial gas-ejection half-nozzle (24, 26).

  • Publication number: 20070266712
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a propulsion gas exhaust assembly in an aircraft propelled by hot gases produced along the axis of the latter by a gas generator, comprising a duct (21) and a nozzle (24). It is noteworthy by the fact that said duct forms a vertical elbow.

  • Patent number: 6993914
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a convergent-divergent turbojet nozzle (1) comprising driven divergent flaps (4a), follower divergent flaps (4b) interposed between the driven flaps, and means (32) for supplying cooling air to the follower flaps (4b), said follower flaps (4b) having a box structure and having lateral openings for delivering cooling air towards the inner face of said driven flaps (4a), in such a way as to limit the heating up of these flaps when the turbojet is in operation.
