  • Patent number: 11141960
    Abstract: A part for an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle is made of a composite material and includes at least one outer face (S1), a fibrous preform including fiber locks and having a surface(s) delimiting depressions between fiber locks, a covering material which at least partially covers the surface(s) of the fibrous preform and in particular the depressions, and a matrix which binds entirely the covering material and the fibrous preform. The covering material is a fibrous mat and the outer face (S1) is smooth. A method for manufacturing such a part includes manufacturing the fibrous preform, providing a fibrous mat, depositing the fibrous preform and fibrous mat in a mold, dispersing the matrix between the fibers of the preform and mat and consolidating the fibrous preform and mat.

  • Patent number: 10995038
    Abstract: A method for producing an acoustic attenuation panel from a composite material with a ceramic oxide matrix is provided that includes draping a plurality of plies having fibrous reinforcements including fibers of ceramic material in a mold to define a first skin, depositing blocks made of fugitive material on the first skin such that a space between two blocks is defined, and draping a second plurality of plies on a surface formed by the blocks such that a second skin is defined. Rounded corners of the blocks define radii for connecting the first and second skins with walls of a honeycomb core of the acoustic panel.
