  • Patent number: 11066992
    Abstract: A propulsion assembly for an aircraft comprising a pylon and a bypass turbomachine having a fan duct in which an air flow flows. The turbomachine further comprises an air intake system with a cold bleed air device for bleeding some of the air flow from the fan duct, the device comprising a sliding scoop comprising an upstream face that is open to allow the air to pass and a lower side that has an air outlet opening connected to an exchanger. The scoop is able to slide between an open position in which the scoop extends at least in part into the fan duct and in which part of the air flow in the fan duct rushes into the scoop via the upstream face thereof, and a closed position in which the scoop does not extend into the fan duct and has its upper side closing off the cutout.

  • Publication number: 20210214089
    Abstract: A cold regulating valve for a heat exchanger system of an aircraft propulsion system, where the cold regulating valve includes an open frame which delimits an opening, two shutters with an external convex shape slidably mounted on the open frame between a closed position and an open position, a mechanism linked to the shutters and mobile between a first position and a second position, and wherein the mechanism moves the shutters from the closed position to the open position when it moves from the first position to the second position and vice versa, and an actuator acting on the mechanism to move it from the first position to the second position and vice versa. The specific embodiment of the cold regulating valve generates a low drag when the shutters are in a closed position.

  • Patent number: 10882630
    Abstract: A dual-flow jet engine comprising a fixed structure, a central core, and a cowl comprising a fixed part and a mobile cowl mounted to be rotationally mobile on the fixed structure via hinges with swan neck fitting. The fixed part has a first edge and the mobile cowl has a second edge, in which, when the mobile cowl is in a closed position, the second edge extends against the first edge. For each hinge with swan neck fitting, the fixed part is hollowed at the first edge, so as to delimit a recess opposite the swan neck fitting and allow the passage of the swan neck fitting when the mobile cowl switches from the closed position to the open position. The recess for each hinge with swan neck fitting allows for a reduction of the dimensions of the swan neck during the movement of the mobile cowl.

  • Patent number: 10746100
    Abstract: A heat exchange device to be positioned in an aircraft pylon and including a heat exchanger and an obturator to adopt a closed state where it prevents flow of air from flowing through the heat exchanger, and more- or less-permissive states where it allows flow of air to flow with a higher or lower flow rate. The obturator includes slats each including a pivot axis, the pivot axes of the various slats being mutually parallel and intersecting the direction of the flow of air, the slats being simultaneously mobile in rotation about their pivot axis between a closed position in which the slats are contiguous, which corresponds to the closed state of the obturator, and an open position in which the slats are spread apart, which corresponds to the permissive state of the obturator.
