  • Patent number: 9334831
    Abstract: A nacelle for an aircraft bypass turbofan engine includes an upstream section via which an airflow enters, a middle section surrounding the fan of the turbofan and a downstream section having an inner structure and an outer structure delimiting a flow duct in which the air flows. The outer structure includes one cowling movably mounted on the inner fixed structure. The nacelle also has a top to accept a pylon for attaching a wing of the aircraft. The nacelle further includes one first panel mounted on the inner structure on one side of the nacelle and one second panel mounted on the other side of the nacelle. The first panel undergoes a physical interference with a part of the wing. The second panel increases the air removed from this other side of the nacelle during thrust reversal.
