  • Patent number: 11549462
    Abstract: A turbojet engine nacelle having a cascade-type thrust reverser includes a movable frame surrounding a cold air flow path, guided axially by longitudinal rails fixed to an intermediate casing surrounding the cold air flow path and supporting cascades of thrust-reversal guide vanes and mobile rear cowls. The nacelle has a passage of ancillaries opening radially towards the outside of the movable frame, in a zone with no bearing structure passing radially across the cold air flow path. The movable frame is cut in an axial plane at the passage for the passage of ancillaries, and each edge of the cut of the movable frame is connected to the intermediate casing by a slide rail fitted on a longitudinal rail arranged each on one side of this passage.

  • Patent number: 11542024
    Abstract: A load-bearing structure is configured to be mounted on an engine core of a turbofan engine. The load-bearing structure comprises two longitudinal beams and a transverse connection connecting them. Each of the longitudinal beams comprises a forward mounting interface and a rear mounting interface for mounting the structure on the engine core while allowing at least the longitudinal travel of the engine core. Each longitudinal beam also comprises a lateral suspension point for transmitting longitudinal and vertical forces between the load-bearing structure and a suspension structure. The load-bearing structure further comprises a transverse connection comprising a central suspension point for transmitting lateral and vertical forces between the load-bearing structure and the suspension structure.

  • Publication number: 20220177149
    Abstract: An air inlet duct for a nacelle of an aircraft propulsion assembly includes an annular body and an annular air inlet lip with two coaxial annular walls, inner and outer, respectively. The inner wall defining a portion of an inner annular surface of the air inlet duct and the outer wall defining a portion of an outer annular surface of the air inlet duct. A control system translates the lip from a first position, in which the lip is attached to the body, to a second position, in which the lip is axially separated from the body. An annular row of grilles is translatably secured to the lip. The grilles are housed inside the body in the first position and extended from the body in order for an air flow entering the air inlet duct to pass therethrough in the second position.

  • Patent number: 11131270
    Abstract: The turbojet includes, linking two of its parts as a main nacelle portion and a rear nacelle portion, a device which moves them relative to one another, for example in order to open a reverse gas thrust slot. The device includes a sleeve and two rods which are coaxial connected together by two screw links and two locking devices which may be engaged independently, such that the deployment of one of the rods results in the opening of the slot and the movement of the other rod, controlled by the same device, only occurs under specific turbojet maintenance circumstances.
