  • Publication number: 20140234090
    Abstract: A rear nacelle assembly for turbojet engine includes an inner structure surrounding a downstream portion of the turbojet engine. In particular, the inner structure is movable in rotation between an operating position in which it forms a downstream fairing and defines an annular stream of cold air with a thrust reverser cowl, and a maintenance position in which the inner structure moves away from the downstream portion. A suspension pylon is further provided to mount the thrust reverser cowl and the inner structure. The thrust reverser cowl slides between an opening position clearing air flow deviation grids and a closing position recovering the air flow deviation grids. Moreover, the thrust reverser cowl is mounted on the suspension pylon by a pivot connection sliding around a main axis, and the inner structure is mounted on the suspension pylon by a pivot connection around the main axis.

  • Publication number: 20140216846
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a sound absorbing panel in which a reflective wall on one of faces of a set of sound absorbing cells. In particular, a passage on a portion of a thickness (E) of the set of sound absorbing cells is formed on an opposite face of the one of the faces, while the passage forming a main channel for a communication between sound absorbing cells and for a circulation of a de-icing fluid.

  • Publication number: 20140140830
    Abstract: An inner structure for a nacelle for an aircraft turbofan includes a plurality of active and passive movable portions. Each active movable portion can drive adjacent passive movable portions such that the inner structure has a nominal first position, a second position and a third position. In the second position, the active movable portions project beyond by the passive movable portions toward the outside of the inner structure after the active mobile portions have driven the passive mobile portions. In the third position, the active movable portions project beyond the passive movable portions toward the inside of the inner structure after the active mobile portions have driven the passive mobile portions. The present disclosure also relates to a nacelle having an outer structure and such an inner structure.

  • Publication number: 20140061332
    Abstract: An assembly includes a suspension pylon and a thrust reverser which has vanes for deflecting flow and a cowl able to move between an open position and a closed position by an actuator. The thrust reverser further includes rails able to slide in slideways. In particular, the actuator is disposed in line with a corresponding rail. The actuator may be an actuator having a rotating nut connected to an endless screw or an actuator suitable for pulling on the corresponding rail or on the corresponding slideway.

  • Publication number: 20130227963
    Abstract: An assembly is designed to attach hangers from which an aircraft propulsion unit is suspended. The propulsion unit is intended to be suspended from a structural element of the aircraft. The propulsion unit includes a turbojet engine having a longitudinal axis and the attachment assembly having a clevis mount for attaching the hangers to a casing of the propulsion unit. The clevis mount is fixed to the casing by means designed to form a connection between the clevis mount and the casing at the external periphery of the casing.

  • Publication number: 20130230391
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nacelle (1) for an aircraft bypass turbojet engine comprising, in downstream cross section, an inner fixed structure (8) intended to surround part of the bypass turbojet engine and an outer structure (9) at least partially surrounding the inner fixed structure (8) so as to delimit an annular flow path (10), the outer structure (9) comprising at least one inner flap (101) positioned facing the annular flow path (10), an outer flap (103) not in contact with the annular flow path (10) at least partially surmounting each inner flap (101) in aerodynamic continuity with the rest of the outer structure (9), and an intermediate flap (105) positioned between each inner flap (101) and each outer flap (103), said intermediate flap (105) being capable of translational movement so as to increase or decrease the cross section of the annular flow path (10), and each inner flap (101) and each outer flap (103) being capable of rotational movement so as to remain in permanent contact with the interme
