  • Patent number: 11649063
    Abstract: An acoustic panel for an aircraft nacelle air intake comprising a resistive skin perforated by noise absorption holes and a core against which the resistive skin extends, wherein the resistive skin has a smooth visible face and a castellated rear face with alternating ribs and grooves. The noise absorption holes are formed exclusively in the grooves, i.e., in a zone where the skin is less thick, which enables the holes to have a diameter that is both greater than the thickness of the skin and small enough not to have any impact on drag. The mechanical strength of the resistive skin provided by the ribs ensures that the lesser thickness of the resistive skin in the grooves does not render the resistive skin overly flexible.

  • Patent number: 10151418
    Abstract: The invention relates to a protective sheath (50) for covering a fluid-transporting pipeline, comprising a flame-proof, non-inflammable layer (52) and a heat insulation layer (54) arranged beneath the non-inflammable layer, the non-inflammable layer consisting only of carbon and the heat insulation layer comprising a knitted fabric, the knitted fabric comprising a plurality of stitches and air trapped within the plurality of stitches such that the heat insulation layer comprises at least 70 vol. % of air. Furthermore, the non-inflammable layer comprises carbon fibers providing 100% coverage in order to protect the heat insulation layer from contact with flames.

  • Patent number: 5839478
    Abstract: This composite pipe (20) is of the type including an inner tube (2) made of a first thermoplastic material (A), a reinforcement (21) including a metal tape (3) bonded to the inner tube by a first adhesive (61) compatible with the first thermoplastic material, an outer sheath (4) made of a second thermoplastic material (B), bonded to the reinforcement (21) by a second adhesive (62) compatible with the second thermoplastic material. According to the invention the two materials A and B have different chemical natures and, in the connecting region 22 between the strips opposite one another 61a, 62a, respectively, of the first and of the second adhesive, a means of bonding joins these two bands coherently. In an embodiment this means of bonding consists of adhesives which are different but compatible and co-crosslinked with each other.
