  • Patent number: 8875518
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a jet engine nacelle (1) comprising an aft section (5) having an internal structure (9) intended to surround an aft portion of an engine compartment and to define, with an exhaust nozzle (6), a calibrated outlet section for the ventilation of the engine compartment by way of spacing means arranged in the outlet section, characterized in that the spacing means are divided into rigid spacing means (11) designed to provide a constant spacing and into compensating means (13) designed so as to be able to adapt to the relative movements of the jet engine with respect to the nacelle.

  • Patent number: 7891195
    Abstract: A device for attenuating acoustical noise from an exhaust nozzle of a turbojet is disclosed. The turbojet exhaust nozzle includes a central body defining the inner surface of the primary gas flow path. The central body includes an outer wall defining one, and only one, resonator cavity. The single resonator cavity is in fluid communication with the primary gas flow path via orifices through at least one upstream portion of the outer wall. The single resonator cavity and plurality of orifices compose a Helmholtz resonator.

  • Patent number: 7866141
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dual-flow turbojet engine comprising an engine which is disposed in a nacelle and is provided with case which defines jointly with the said nacelle an annular passage through which a secondary flow supplied by a fan placed upstream of the engine can flow, a primary nozzle which is fixed to the case downstream of the engine, an internal wall for guiding the main hot flow supplied by the engine and an external wall contacting the secondary flow. Said invention is characterized in that sound attenuating means is provided for at least one part of the internal wall and the external wall is provided with means for cooling said internal wall.
