  • Publication number: 20060138785
    Abstract: The invention relates to a latch (1) provided for joining two elements to one another via, on the one hand, a hook (2) capable of coming into contact with a retaining element (18) integrally connected to the first element and, on the other, via a main pin (3) to be attached in a fixed manner to the second element. Said latch has a handle (6) that is mounted so that it can pivot about an end pin (13) and has an articulation having a pair of compression links (4) mounted in a manner that enables them to pivot about the main pin (3) and about an intermediate pin (14). The invention is characterized in that the hook is inserted between the handle and the main pin, and in that at least one compression link (4) is provided with a guiding means (21) capable of coming into contact with the surface of the hook facing the handle during the opening of the latch.

  • Publication number: 20060005530
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising gratings, which are used to form a reverse flow from a jet engine thrust flow. The inventive device comprises a plurality of flow diverter gratings which are disposed side-by-side at the outer edge of an annular thrust flow circulation channel. Each of the gratings comprises a plurality of intersecting inner transverse blades and inner longitudinal blades, two adjacent gratings being separated by a side clearance which generates a leakage flow. The device also comprises means of re-directing the aforementioned leakage flow in a direction such as to increase the effectiveness of the reverse flow, said re-direction means comprising aerodynamic appendages which are mounted to at least one outer longitudinal edge of each grating.

  • Patent number: 6151885
    Abstract: A turbojet-engine thrust reverser comprises a displaceable sub-assembly including two internal clamshells (12) mounted on stationary pivots (18) of a stationary structure (1) and an annular, axially displaceable structure (11). The displaceable structure forms the external, downstream part (13) of a cowling. In the forward-thrust mode, the displaceable structure forms a downstream portion (15) of a radial outer wall of the flow path and forms the entire trailing edge by covering the clamshells (12) such that the clamshells form part of the radial outer wall of the flow path.

  • Patent number: 6026638
    Abstract: A thrust reverser is disclosed for an aircraft jet engine having a bypass duct enclosing a cowling with an outer cowling surface and a reverse thrust opening extending through the cowling. The thrust reverser has a thrust reverser door in the opening movable between a forward thrust position, in which the thrust reverser door covers the reverse thrust opening, and a reverse thrust position in which the thrust reverser door is moved within the thrust reverser opening, which is then uncovered, into a gas deflecting position at which position a portion of the door extends into the bypass duct. The thrust reverser door has an inner panel defining a part of the gas duct and an outer panel having an outer surface substantially flush with the outer cowling surface when the thrust reverser door is in the forward thrust position. The inner panel is sealed against the cowling.
