  • Patent number: 11649063
    Abstract: An acoustic panel for an aircraft nacelle air intake comprising a resistive skin perforated by noise absorption holes and a core against which the resistive skin extends, wherein the resistive skin has a smooth visible face and a castellated rear face with alternating ribs and grooves. The noise absorption holes are formed exclusively in the grooves, i.e., in a zone where the skin is less thick, which enables the holes to have a diameter that is both greater than the thickness of the skin and small enough not to have any impact on drag. The mechanical strength of the resistive skin provided by the ribs ensures that the lesser thickness of the resistive skin in the grooves does not render the resistive skin overly flexible.

  • Publication number: 20230128247
    Abstract: A resistive skin element for an acoustic panel intended for an aircraft includes a first ply, a second ply with openings and a wire mesh which is sandwiched between the two plies. First ply includes at least one layer made of C/PEAK and a film made of PEI. Second ply includes at least one layer made of PEI First ply is crossed by perforations. Second ply has openings configured so that second ply does not obstruct the perforations of first ply. The wire mesh allows perforations with large sizes to be made while keeping good acoustic properties.
