  • Patent number: 9382845
    Abstract: An inner structure for a nacelle for an aircraft turbofan includes a plurality of active and passive movable portions. Each active movable portion can drive adjacent passive movable portions such that the inner structure has a nominal first position, a second position and a third position. In the second position, the active movable portions project beyond by the passive movable portions toward the outside of the inner structure after the active mobile portions have driven the passive mobile portions. In the third position, the active movable portions project beyond the passive movable portions toward the inside of the inner structure after the active mobile portions have driven the passive mobile portions. The present disclosure also relates to a nacelle having an outer structure and such an inner structure.

  • Patent number: 9243587
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nacelle (1) for an aircraft bypass turbojet engine comprising, in downstream cross section, an inner fixed structure (8) intended to surround part of the bypass turbojet engine and an outer structure (9) at least partially surrounding the inner fixed structure (8) so as to delimit an annular flow path (10), the outer structure (9) comprising at least one inner flap (101) positioned facing the annular flow path (10), an outer flap (103) not in contact with the annular flow path (10) at least partially surmounting each inner flap (101) in aerodynamic continuity with the rest of the outer structure (9), and an intermediate flap (105) positioned between each inner flap (101) and each outer flap (103), said intermediate flap (105) being capable of translational movement so as to increase or decrease the cross section of the annular flow path (10), and each inner flap (101) and each outer flap (103) being capable of rotational movement so as to remain in permanent contact with the interme

  • Publication number: 20150152811
    Abstract: A device is provided to drive flaps for an adaptive nozzle of a nacelle, and the adaptive nozzle includes at least one flap moveable in rotation and adapted to pivot toward a position causing a variation of a nozzle section. In particular, the device includes a control ring and a connecting rod driving the flaps. The control ring rotates along a circumference of the nacelle during a driving rod drives the control ring, and the connecting rod is connected to the control ring and one of the flaps so that the driving rod causes a displacement in translation of the connecting rod. The driving rod is connected to an assembly forming a lever, and the assembly is secured to the control ring.

  • Publication number: 20150083823
    Abstract: A mechanism for coupling and uncoupling a motor inlet shaft and an outlet shaft, in particular, the inlet shaft is mounted in rotation on a front frame, and the outlet shaft is mounted in rotation on a rear frame. The outlet shaft rotates an outlet pinion, and the rear frame is slidably mounted to translate between a forward compact position and a backward deployed position. The mechanism includes a coupler, and first and second lockers to couple or uncouple the inlet and outlet shafts according to the translation of the rear frame between the forward compact position and the backward deployed position. The first locker locks in rotation the inlet shaft on the front frame, the second locker locks the outlet shaft on the rear frame. In particular, the second locker automatically locks the inlet and outlet shafts in rotation respectively, according to the displacement of the rear frame.
