Abstract: A device for opening and closing a thrust reverser door (3) of a jet engine includes at least one actuator and at least one locking mechanism (10) including at least one first locking element (11) arranged on the thrust reverser door (3) and at least one second locking element (13) arranged on the thrust reverser structure (5). To open the locking mechanism (10) against higher internal pressures in the thrust reverser (1) without increasing a power of the actuator or requiring the operation of the latter, the device includes, in addition to the actuator, at least one unloading mechanism (20) which is coupled to the locking mechanism (10).

Abstract: A flow divider (1) for a fan engine which forms an annular leading edge (4) simultaneously on the outer circumference of an annular core air duct and the inner circumference of an annular secondary air duct, protrudes into the fan airflow and has an aerodynamic profile. In order to avoid blockage of the core air and/or secondary air ducts in the event of destruction or detachment of the flow divider (1), the flow divider features separable parts (6) which, whatever their orientation, are capable of passing the vane passages of the core air duct and the secondary air duct.

Abstract: A fan casing (2) for a jet engine has a burst protection arrangement (7) made up of layers at least in an area of fan blades (5). To contain detached fan blades (5) within a fan casing (2) of a jet engine by use of a low-weight and easily manufacturable burst protection arrangement (7), the fan casing (2) is made of a fiber-composite material which itself forms at least one layer provided with at least one inorganic, non-metallic protective layer (8).

Abstract: An ice strike sheathing ring (4) including several fiber compound layers for the fan casing of an aircraft gas turbine features breaking points (7) at a certain regular distance, so that, in case of destruction of the ice strike sheathing ring due to extreme ice strike, fragments of small size will be produced which together with the engine airflow will pass the exit guide vanes downstream of the fan without blocking the engine airflow or reducing engine thrust. With fiber compound layers enclosing a cavity or a core, the breaking points designed as slots (9) and/or assembly holes (8) are located in the inner wall (20) of the ice strike sheathing ring facing the engine airflow, while the outer wall (21) of the ice strike sheathing ring adjoining the fan casing is firmly attached to the latter via an adhesive film and a threaded safety connection.

Abstract: A sensor bracket (1) for at least one sensor (5) on a gas turbine, made of at least one fiber-composite material (10), with the fibers (7) embedded in the fiber-composite material (10) being oriented at an angle ? relative to an axis x extending vertically to a free end edge (3) of the sensor bracket (1) in a plane established by the fibers (7), and the stiffness and the natural frequencies of the sensor bracket (1) being defined by said angle ?, with the natural frequencies of the sensor bracket (1) lying outside of the frequency range of the sensor bracket (1), which includes the measuring range of the sensor (5).

Abstract: An inner shroud (6) for the stator blades (3) of the compressor of a gas turbine is a plastic component and includes certain additives, which may be concentrated in partial areas for specific functionality, and/or pre-manufactured inserts for sealing, ensuring sliding properties, wear protection and/or setting heat expansion. Such an inner shroud made of plastic material fulfills all requirements usually imposed on inner shrouds made of metal, while being simply producible and having low weight.
