  • Patent number: 11993390
    Abstract: A method for supplying air to an engine of an aircraft via an air supply system of the aircraft. A dynamic air intake vent of the system can be closed by a closure member that is movable between a closed position and an open position. A static air intake vent is equipped with a filter medium. During flight, the method comprises an unfiltered operating mode that comprises the following steps: positioning of the closure member in the open position, and, during a phase of forward travel of the aircraft, dynamic intake of a flow of air, then transfer of a first portion of the flow of air to the engine and a second portion of the flow of air to the filter medium in order to clean the filter medium.

  • Patent number: 11333164
    Abstract: A fan blade for an airplane turbojet, the blade including an airfoil extending axially between a leading edge and a trailing edge and including a plurality of airfoil sections stacked radially between a root section and a tip section. All of the airfoil sections situated between the root section and an airfoil section situated at a radial height corresponding to 30% of a total radial height of the airfoil possess a skeleton curve having a point of inflection.
