  • Patent number: 7698885
    Abstract: The invention relates to thrust reversers comprising at least one mobile element (3), at least one locking device (7) comprising a hook (8) cooperating with a hookable part (6) in order to keep the mobile element (3) in the closed position, and a double detection system (10) detecting closure and locking comprising a sensor (15) for indicating, in particular by a signal, if the mobile element (3) is in the closed position and if the device (7) is in a locked position. According to the invention, the double detection system detecting closure and locking of a mobile element of a turbojet thrust reverser comprises a means (16) of detection of the hookable part (6) and of activation of a second means (17) of detection of the crooked end (13) of the hook (8).

  • Patent number: 7552591
    Abstract: The invention relates to a twin spool turbine engine comprising a high-pressure rotor and a low-pressure rotor, at least one accessory gearbox, a drive means, driving coaxial transmission shafts that transmit movement to the accessory gearbox, characterized in that the drive means comprises a high-pressure drive pinion secured to the high-pressure rotor near its upstream end, a low-pressure drive pinion secured to the low-pressure rotor upstream of the high-pressure rotor, and a power take-off module in direct mesh with the drive pinions, driving the transmission shafts. By virtue of the invention, the transmission shafts run coaxial with one another and therefore pass through a single arm. The use of a power take-off module simplifies the mechanism. The turbine engine is simpler to assemble.

  • Patent number: 6282881
    Abstract: A system for cooling the lubricant of the speed reducer of an aircraft turboshaft-engine during high-speed flight and during low-speed taxying. The cooling system includes a radiator through which the lubricant flows. An air supply duct delivers cooling air over the radiator. An air discharge duct discharges the air into the exhaust nozzle of the engine. The air supply duct is fed by an arcuate air take-off slot disposed in the air intake of the engine. The air discharge duct is provided with a flap for slowing air flow through the cooling system, and with an ejector-mixer, which is fed by compressed air, taken from the engine compressor, for creating a Venturi effect to increase air flow through the cooling system when required.
