Abstract: A feed device for a superplastic press-forming press has a slide that moves vertically and a base between which is held a tool having a cover and a bottom die enclosing a forming tool, which includes at least one heating shuttle to transport the bottom die, equipped with the forming tool and a cover, with the heating shuttle adapted to complete the press and constitute the base of the press during a hot-press forming operation.

Abstract: A panel for acoustic treatment connected to a surface of an aircraft, includes—from the outside to the inside—an acoustically resistive porous layer, at least one alveolar structure, and a reflective or impermeable layer, whereby the acoustically resistive porous layer includes—at the outside surface that can be in contact with the aerodynamic flows—one sheet or piece of sheet metal including open zones (14) that allow sound waves to pass and filled zones (16) that do not allow sound waves to pass, characterized in that the sheet or piece of sheet metal of the acoustically resistive layer includes sets of microperforations (18), whereby each set of microperforations forms an open zone (14), the sets of microperforations being separated from one another by at least one series of bands separated by filled zones (16).

Abstract: A coating for acoustic treatment relative to an aircraft's surface, in particular a leading edge such as an air intake of an aircraft nacelle, includes an acoustically resistive layer, at least one alveolar structure (30), and a reflective layer. The alveolar structure (30) includes a number of tubes that empty out, on the one hand, at a first imaginary surface (34), and, on the other hand, at a second imaginary surface (36). The alveolar structure (30) includes cut-outs or openings (38) made at the side walls of certain tubes that make it possible to link adjacent tubes so as to create a network of communicating tubes that isolate at least one tube or a group of non-communicating tubes, whereby at least one of the communicating tubes is connected to at least one hot gas intake (40).

Abstract: The invention relates to a panel for an acoustic treatment at the surface of an aircraft, that comprises from the outside to the inside an acoustically resistive porous layer, at least one cellular structure and a reflective or non-permissive layer, wherein the acoustically resistive porous layer includes, at the outer surface that may contact the aerodynamic flows of a sheet or foil, open areas (14) permissive to sound waves and solid area (6) not permissive to sound waves, characterised in that the sheet or foil of the acoustically resistive layer includes sets of microperforations (18), each set of microperforations defining an open area (14), the set of microperforations being separated by at least one series of spaced bands of solid areas (16).

Abstract: A process for the producing a coating for acoustic treatment relative to a leading edge such as an air intake of an aircraft nacelle, the coating including a reflective layer, an alveolar structure, and an acoustically resistive layer, includes: Digitizing the shape of the alveolar structure that it will have when it will be installed at the surface to be treated, Positioning in a virtual manner—so as to define their geometries—two series of bands so as to delimit a tube between, two adjacent bands of a first series, and two second adjacent bands of a second series, Cutting out each band according to their geometries defined above, Producing cut-outs in each band to allow the assembly of the bands, Assembling the bands so as to obtain an alveolar structure that has shapes that are suited to the surface to be treated.
