  • Patent number: 10974837
    Abstract: The invention concerns a propulsion device (1) comprising a torque generator (2) driving an output shaft (3) via a power gearbox (4), the output shaft (3) being rotatably coupled to a thruster (5), said power gearbox (4) being fixed on a frame (7) by means of suspension means (8, 14, 15), said suspension means including hydraulic torque recovery means comprising at least a first hydraulic system (15) and a second hydraulic system (15) spaced from each other, each hydraulic system (15) having a pressure chamber whose volume varies according to the position of the housing (9) of the power gearbox (4) relative to the frame (7), the pressure chambers of the hydraulic systems (15) being connected by a capillary so that a hydraulic fluid is able to flow from one pressure chamber to another via the capillary.

  • Patent number: 10927766
    Abstract: A turboprop including a propeller shaft and a gas generator running along this propeller shaft, this gas generator including a high-pressure shaft and a hollow low-pressure shaft both extending along the same longitudinal axis, the low-pressure shaft having a rear end coupled to a rear end of the propeller shaft via a reducer. It includes an accessory box contiguous to the reducer while being located facing a rear end of the low-pressure shaft, and coupled to the rear end of the high-pressure shaft by a shaft passing through the low-pressure shaft.

  • Patent number: 10843806
    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion assembly includes: a gas generator coupled by a coupling mechanism to a thrust generator having a structural torque transmission gearbox, and a rigid cradle rigidly supporting the thrust generator in a first suspension plane and the gas generator in distinct second and third suspension planes, the cradle being for securing to a structural element of the aircraft via a vibration-filtering flexible connection.
