  • Patent number: 11932399
    Abstract: A sandwich panel for an aircraft turbojet nacelle includes an outer skin in contact with an air flow, an inner skin opposed to the outer skin, and an intermediate system comprising partitions connecting the inner and outer skins so as to form cells, the inner skin of at least one cell having at least one corrugation configured to allow the materials making up the sandwich panel to deform in the event of thermal variation.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11872617
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing annular sectors of an air intake lip includes arranging a revolution-shaped blank facing a three-dimensional forming surface of a die of a hydroforming tool, the three-dimensional surface including at least two plunging cavities spaced from each other along a circumferential direction, forming an air intake lip preform in one piece by hydroforming the revolution-shaped blank on the three-dimensional surface of the die, the air intake lip preform having in section a U-shape and including a plurality of crenellated portions each delimited by a plunging cavity, the production of a plurality of cutouts in the air intake lip preform so as to divide the preform into a plurality of annular sectors, each cutout including the removal of a sacrificial portion at the level of a crenellated portion so as to form two adjacent assembly edges with one of the two adjacent assembly edges including a plunging.

  • Publication number: 20230287835
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing an air intake lip comprising: the arrangement of a blank facing a three-dimensional forming surface of a die of a hydroforming tool, the forming of an air intake lip preform by hydroforming the blank on the three-dimensional surface of the die, the air intake lip preform having in section a U-shape, the outer wall of the air intake lip comprising at least one hollow housing with an inturned edge and a bottom, the housing having a shape corresponding to the shape of the at least one opening cavity, the cutting of an opening in each hollow housing keeping at least the inturned edge so as to obtain an air intake lip comprising at least one opening having an edge integrally formed with the outer wall of the lip.

  • Patent number: 11655044
    Abstract: An rear fairing for a pylon supporting an aircraft turbojet engine forms an aerodynamic surface covering the base of the pylon. The rear fairing is elongated in a longitudinal direction and includes a floor arranged opposite the hot gases exiting the turbojet engine and side walls constituting aerodynamic surfaces. The floor and the side walls include ceramic matrix composite materials made from preforms formed by layers of superimposed warp and weft yarns, the preforms have interlayer weaving yarns connecting the layers to one another.

  • Patent number: 10266162
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling the braking of an aircraft equipped with a landing gear bearing braked wheels, the aircraft being propelled by jet engines and equipped with a thrust reversal system, the method involving the steps of estimating the grip/adhesion of the braked wheels and activating the thrust-reversal system or modulating the reverse-thrust generated by the thrust-reversal system if this system is already activated, based on the estimated grip/adhesion.
