Aircraft propulsion unit comprising a nacelle provided with a fan cowl locking and closing mechanism
Patent number: 9643714Abstract: An aircraft propulsion unit comprising a nacelle with a fan cowl locking and closing mechanism. The fan cowls of the nacelle can be closed by a single operator in accordance with the ergonomic standards defined for a single individual. A nacelle is provided with a lateral locking mechanism configured to keep one of the two fan cowls in the closed position, so as to reduce the spacing between the two lower sides of the fan cowls, whereas the presence of a stop between a first elastic member provided on one fan cowl and a second elastic member provided on the other fan cowl allows the operator to provide only that effort required to overcome the force exerted by a single spring at a time.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: Airbus Operations SASInventors: Guillaume Bulin, Patrick Oberle, Nicolas Devienne, Matthieu Ritter -
Patent number: 9488131Abstract: A control device for controlling a variable section nozzle of an aircraft power plant, the variable section nozzle including one or several movable parts capable of modifying the nozzle section and connected by a mechanical transmission chain to an actuator. The control device includes a system for regulating the power plant connected to a control member configured to control the actuator. The control device includes a single control member, an immobilization unit configured to immobilize all the movable parts which are deactivated only when the regulation system controls the positional change of the movable part or parts and a determination unit configured to determine the actual position of the movable part or parts.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS (SAS)Inventors: Guillaume Bulin, Patrick Oberle, Nicolas Devienne

Publication number: 20130092754Abstract: A power plant includes a nacelle with a bypass turbojet engine having a ducted fan with a low compression ratio. A secondary flow, drawn in and accelerated by the fan, is channeled through a secondary duct installed in the nacelle between the inner surface of the nacelle and the outer surface of the turbojet, toward a fan nozzle. The power plant has at least two moving parts on either side of a vertical plane of symmetry of the nacelle, at least one moving part being able to adopt one of a discrete number of positions, the moving part containing or releasing a portion of the secondary flow, depending on the moving part's position. A control unit controls a different displacement of each of the moving parts between their possible positions in order to create asymmetry of the moving parts relative to the vertical plane of symmetry.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2012Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: Airbus Operations SASInventors: Guillaume Bulin, Patrick Oberle, Nicolas Devienne
