  • Publication number: 20230340929
    Abstract: A deflector provided with a spoiler for a thrust reverser of an aircraft engine nacelle. The deflector, a lateral deflector or an orbital deflector, may be in an exhaust structure of a thrust reverser and comprises a deflector plate configured to act on an aerodynamic flow. The deflector plate has a concave upstream face and a convex downstream face, as well as an intake end and an exhaust end. The deflector is fitted with a spoiler rigidly connected to the exhaust end of the deflector plate and arranged transversely in relation to the deflector plate. The spoiler endowing the deflector with specific properties to act on the aerodynamic flow.

  • Patent number: 11105297
    Abstract: A turbofan having a nacelle comprising a slider translatable between an advanced position and a retracted position to open a window between a duct and the exterior, a plurality of blades, each one rotatable on the slider between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a maneuvering system that moves each blade and comprises, for each blade, a shaft rotatable on the slider and on which the blade is fixed, and a toothed sector fixed to the shaft, and a toothed arc rotatable on the slider about a longitudinal axis, where the teeth of the toothed arc mesh with the teeth of each toothed sector, a cam, as one with the toothed arc, and a groove, as one with a fixed structure, which receives the cam and where, when the slider moves, the cam follows the groove and rotates the toothed arc.

  • Patent number: 11028801
    Abstract: A grating for the formation of a reverse flow of a turbofan engine and comprising fins of a first type having a curved profile whose rounding is oriented aft and whose center of curvature is forward relative to the fin of the first type, fins of a second type having a curved profile whose rounding is oriented aft and whose center of curvature is forward relative to the fin of the second type. In this grating, each fin of one of the two types is inserted between two fins of the other type moving from forward to aft and the cord of the fins of the second type is smaller than the cord of the fins of the first type.

  • Publication number: 20180313297
    Abstract: A nacelle has a fixed cowl and a mobile cowl, which is movable along a translation path between closed and open positions, a window delimited by the fixed cowl and the mobile cowl and open between an airflow and exterior of the nacelle, a reverser flap rotatably mounted to move between closed and open positions, and a drive mechanism configured to control passage of the reverser flap between the closed and open positions as the mobile cowl moves between the closed and open positions. From the closed positions, the drive mechanism assures a translation of the mobile cowl and a rotation of the reverser flap toward their respective open positions. From the open positions, the drive mechanism assures a rotation of the reverser flap and a translation of the mobile cowl toward the closed position. In some embodiments, the nacelle further includes an additional, or second, flap.
