  • Publication number: 20240082611
    Abstract: An aircraft pylon comprising a box-section primary structure and at least one tank positioned inside the primary structure. To facilitate mounting or demounting the tank, the pylon is equipped with a guide system configured to move the tank from its mounted position toward a through-hole, including a guide rail fastened to the primary structure and positioned above the tank and a guide pin fastened to the tank cooperating with the guide rail so that the tank is supported by the guide rail and is able to slide along the latter. This guide system contributes to simplifying manipulation of the tank when mounting or demounting the tank by at least partly compensating its weight and guiding the tank.

  • Patent number: 11753176
    Abstract: A forward secondary structure for a mounting pylon for a turbomachine, the forward secondary structure extending from upstream to downstream along a longitudinal axis and having a chassis clad with an aerodynamic fairing. The aerodynamic fairing includes two adjacent cowls each having an upstream portion, where each of the cowls extends lengthwise along the longitudinal direction and includes in its upstream portion a system for articulating the cowl to the chassis, by which system the cowl can pivot with respect to the chassis about an axis of rotation normal to the longitudinal axis, between a closed position in which all of an inner face of the cowl is pressed against the chassis and an open position in which the cowl frees up an opening in the forward secondary structure.

  • Publication number: 20230000697
    Abstract: An assembly having a chassis, two supports with a plate and a guide, a nesting system with a bore, a reservoir containing an extinguishing fluid and with two fastening tabs, two bearing tabs and a peg, and a fastener. The reservoir is able to move in translation between a premounting position in which each fastening and bearing tab rests on a plate and each guide guides the fastening and bearing tabs to align the peg and the bore, and a mounting position in which each fastening tab rests on the plate, the peg is introduced into the bore, the bearing tabs no longer rest on the plates and the fastener fastens each fastening tab to the plate. Such an assembly allows the reservoir to be withdrawn and put in place quickly and easily.

  • Patent number: 11319083
    Abstract: An aircraft nacelle which comprises a structure, an upstream cowl, an upper cowl arranged to the rear of the upstream cowl and having a starboard-side door and a port-side door, each being articulated between a closed position and an open position, each having a front edge, a rear edge, an inner edge and an outer edge. The nacelle comprises, for each door, an articulation and a locking system. Each door is articulated at the level of its outer edge and, in the closed position, the inner edge of one door is contiguous with the inner edge of the other door. Such a nacelle makes the technicians' work easier because the two articulated doors can be opened wide and give easy access under the cowl.
