  • Patent number: 10730634
    Abstract: A primary support strut structure and a method of manufacturing thereof for an aircraft power plant is disclosed having a first half-shell including a first free edge, and a second half-shell having a second free edge. The first half-shell and the second half-shell are assembled together by joining the first free edge and the second free edge so as to form a box-shaped structure. The two half-shell construction results in very rigid box structure, and a reduced number of ribs in the primary structure.

  • Publication number: 20200182087
    Abstract: An engine assembly with an electric motor that includes a cooling system of which a heat sink portion is arranged in an exhaust cone downstream of the fan driven by the electric motor, that is designed to effect thermal exchanges with a wall of the exhaust cone. Such an electric rear fan arrangement with boundary layer ingestion enables a cold air flow coming from the fan when the engine assembly is in operation to be used to cool the different components of the engine assembly.

  • Publication number: 20190300186
    Abstract: A propeller propulsion unit, comprising at least one kinematic system comprising at least: a heat engine, an electrical energy generator, an electric motor configured to generate a rotary movement as output from the electrical energy generated by the electrical energy generator, a drive and selection device configured to assume a first configuration, in which it is coupled to the output of the electric motor, and a second configuration, in which it is coupled to the main shaft of the heat engine, and a propeller rotated by the drive and selection device.

  • Publication number: 20190283890
    Abstract: A primary structure of a strut for bearing an aircraft power plant including a front part intended to be joined to an aircraft power plant and a rear part intended to be joined to a structure of the aircraft, the front part being formed from a box including an upper longitudinal member, a lower longitudinal member, and lateral panels. A main rib is located at an interface between the front part and the rear part. The rear part is formed from a set of four connecting rods. The first end of each connecting rod is joined to the front part of the primary structure and the second end of each connecting rod is joined to a separate interface for fastening to the structure of the aircraft. This allows a substantial simplification of the primary structure of a strut for bearing an aircraft power plant, which can have advantages in particular in terms of cost, mass, and simplicity of implementation and integration.

  • Publication number: 20190233129
    Abstract: An assembly for an aircraft and comprising a wing comprising an airfoil box partly produced using a front spar, a mounting pylon arranged under the wing and comprising a primary structure formed as a primary box having a top spar extending at least partly under the airfoil box and having a slit, a bottom spar, lateral panels and a transverse reinforcing fixing rib, of which a bottom part is housed and fixed inside the primary structure and of which a top part passes through the slit. A fixing arrangement fixes the top part to the front spar. The fixing arrangement comprises a plurality of fixing bolts, where each fixing bolt fixes the top part to the front spar and has its axis at right angles to the fixing rib. Such an assembly allows the mounting pylon primary structure to be as close as possible to the wing.

  • Publication number: 20190160606
    Abstract: A device for manipulating a hollow shaft configured to create a pivot link between a first element and a second element. The manipulation device comprises a cylindrical body having a diameter variable by radial contraction or radial expansion of the cylindrical body, a module for controlling the diameter of the cylindrical body configured so that the diameter of the cylindrical body has alternatively at least a first diameter suitable for the cylindrical body to be displaced in the hollow shaft and a second diameter suitable for the cylindrical body to be blocked in the hollow shaft. The cylindrical body comprises an end configured to protrude from the hollow shaft when the cylindrical body is blocked in the hollow shaft. The manipulation device allows the alignment of the orifices due to the end configuration of the cylindrical body.

  • Patent number: 10144500
    Abstract: A nacelle having a longitudinal axis and comprising a chassis, two articulated fan cowl doors and a sliding fan cowl door. Each articulated fan cowl door is rotatably mounted in an upper portion of the chassis, each about their own opening axis. The opening axes are parallel to the longitudinal axis. The articulated doors pivot between a closed position and an open position. The sliding fan cowl door, in its closed position, is placed between free edges of the articulated fan cowl doors. A sliding arrangement for the sliding door is configured such that, in the open position of either articulated door, the sliding fan cowl door can rotate about the longitudinal axis. The nacelle has fan cowl doors which take up less space when in the open position and which are more compact, in comparison to articulated fan cowl doors without a sliding fan cowl door.
