  • Publication number: 20180170563
    Abstract: In order to reduce the congestion of the attachment means for aircraft engines in a secondary vein, a first fuselage frame has two side portions for supporting the engine, each associated with one of the two partly buried side engines, these portions being curved inwards so as to surround and follow the profile of the outer shroud of an intermediate case. The side portion is attached on this shroud through first and second attachment arrangements spaced apart from each other circumferentially, these arrangements being configured in order to allow absorption of the forces related to the torque along a longitudinal direction of the engine.

  • Publication number: 20180148186
    Abstract: To allow the attachment of an engine of the “Open Rotor Puller” type to the rigid structure of an attachment pylon, an attachment structure comprises a first attachment structure shifted forwards with respect to the center of gravity of the engine and connected to the rigid structure through a pyramid, a second attachment structure laid out at the rear with respect to the first attachment structure and extending in a plane of a first stringer of the rigid structure, and a third attachment structure laid out at the rear with respect to the second attachment structure. The second attachment structure comprises two engine attachments for recovering the moment along the axis of the engine, laid out on either side of a horizontal symmetry plane of the engine.

  • Publication number: 20180066606
    Abstract: A thrust reverser system with a thrust reverser cascade and a reverser door with door segments laid out in a folded condition relatively to each other in an inactive configuration of the reverser system, and accommodated in an accommodation space located outside the secondary channel. Upon passing from the inactive configuration to the active configuration a rearward displacement of the cascade towards a nacelle aperture, released by an external movable nacelle cowl driven rearwards by the cascade, and a deployment of segments until they attain a deployed closing position within the secondary channel occurs simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20170313412
    Abstract: A device for reducing aerodynamic disturbances in the wake of an aerodynamic profile. The device comprises a first air ejection nozzle arranged on the top side of the profile and a second air ejection nozzle arranged on the underside of the profile. A first blowing chamber is fluidically connected to the first nozzle and a second blowing chamber is fluidically connected to the second nozzle. Air supply means are configured to vary the distribution of air between said first blowing chamber and second blowing chamber. The distribution of the blown air can thus be adapted depending on the situation in which the profile is used, for example depending on the flight phase of an aircraft equipped with such a profile. Also, an aerodynamic profile, a pylon supporting a propulsion assembly for an aircraft comprising such an aerodynamic profile, and an aircraft.

  • Patent number: 9796142
    Abstract: The manufacture of structural elements for aircraft requires the use of complex and costly methods, particularly in the case of parts of elongate overall shape and variable thickness or cross section made of composite material. The disclosure herein proposes to overcome this problem by a method that allows the manufacture of a structural part from a preform made of composite material of simple shape obtained by pultrusion and of one or more reinforcing elements made of composite material and secured by cocuring with the preform to a region of this preform which region is to be reinforced.

  • Publication number: 20170152024
    Abstract: A device including a profiled member conformed to constitute an edge portion of an aircraft aerodynamic profile. The device includes a blower chamber to be pressurized and an air ejector nozzle making it possible to provide fluidic communication between the blower chamber and an external surface of the profiled member, the profiled member, the blower chamber and the nozzle forming an assembly to be mounted in one piece on the aerodynamic profile to constitute a trailing edge thereof. The blower chamber and the nozzle are formed directly in the profiled member, the profiled member, the blower chamber and the air ejector nozzle being formed in one piece.

  • Patent number: 9656742
    Abstract: An air ejection device comprises an aerodynamic profile provided with a slot and an ejection nozzle. The device comprises a flexible tongue fixed flush with the aerodynamic profile in such a way as to obstruct the slot, the tongue being able to lift under the effect of a pressure differential between the air situated in the ejection nozzle and the outside air. The tongue makes it possible for the slot made in the profile to be obstructed during phases of flight during which the ejection of the air is unnecessary, and prevents external air from entering the slot. The flow of air over the aerodynamic profile is unaffected, and there is no increase in drag. Because the tongue lifts as a result of a pressure differential, it does not require any control mechanism to lift it.

  • Patent number: 9656736
    Abstract: In the case of an aircraft aft portion equipped with an engine mounting structure passing across the fuselage, assembly of the aft portion presents problems caused by the moving of the box structure of the mounting structure through lateral openings in the fuselage. In order to overcome these problems, a method of assembling an aircraft aft portion is proposed, in which method the box structure of the engine mounting structure is inserted into the fuselage through a top opening extending from one side of the fuselage to the other across a vertical midplane of the fuselage such that the top opening opens to the top and to the sides of the fuselage.

  • Publication number: 20160340024
    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.
