  • Patent number: 9915227
    Abstract: A discharge system of a separated twin-flow turbojet for an aircraft, supported by a suspension mast, is disclosed. The system includes a main nozzle delimited by an annular cowl with a slot of annular shape defining upstream and downstream portions of the cowl and which is traversed by the suspension mast. The downstream portion of the cowl of the main nozzle includes a first part extending downstream from the upstream portion of the cowl to a trailing edge of the main nozzle, on either side of the suspension mast along two predefined angular sectors; and a second part formed from an internal contour of the slot and having a trailing edge with a diameter smaller than that of the trailing edge associated with the first part of the downstream portion of the cowl. Connecting walls laterally connect the first and second parts of the downstream portion.

  • Patent number: 9683516
    Abstract: A turbine engine convergent-divergent nozzle including an annular central element and an annular cap arranged coaxially around the central element to co-operate with the central element to define an annular flow channel for a gas stream from the engine. Between a throat section and an ejection section of the nozzle, the central element and the cap present respective internal profiles in longitudinal section that are modeled by curves having respective radii of curvature that are identical in absolute value.

  • Patent number: 9540109
    Abstract: A turbomachine including a nozzle extending along an axial direction and configured to convey a hot gas stream; and a mounting pylon for mounting the turbomachme, in which the pylon extends radially from a base arranged in the vicinity of the nozzle, is provided. The turbomachine includes a pylon cooler device having at least one auxiliary gas duct having a gas inlet configured to take cold gas from the outside of the nozzle, and a gas outlet opening out in the vicinity of the base of the pylon.

  • Patent number: 9488106
    Abstract: In an assembly including a bypass turbine engine and an attachment system attaching the turbine engine to an aircraft structure, the attachment system includes a mast, at least two rear attachments connecting the mast to two rear attachment points of the turbine engine, and a rear covering covering the rear attachments and providing a streamlined fairing. The rear covering includes two side walls, each including a first portion extending along and in proximity of the mast and extending rearwards, and a second portion projecting sideways relative to the first portion towards its outside, to cover the rear attachments. Each second portion is substantially a bulge and is connected to the first portion along a curved connection line extending between front and rear points situated substantially level with an inner longitudinal edge of the first portion to minimize the impact on a flow of bypass stream leaving the bypass passage.

  • Patent number: 9341082
    Abstract: A turbine engine pipe having a longitudinal axis, which, at an upstream end thereof, includes an outer wall and a core, only an upstream portion of which is surrounded by the outer wall. The boundary between the upstream portion and a downstream portion is defined by the intersection between the core and the surface formed by bisectors of acute angles formed by straight lines perpendicular to the outer wall and straight lines perpendicular to an outer surface of the core passing through the downstream end of the outer wall. The outer surface of the downstream portion of the core has a sharply curved convex region close to the boundary, the region having a radius of curvature in a radial plane of less than 30 times the radius of the core at the boundary, and a first slightly curved region between the boundary and the sharply curved convex region.

  • Publication number: 20130032642
    Abstract: A secondary-air nozzle of a two-flow jet engine having separated flows including an annular cowl element translatably mobile in an axial direction between an upstream retracted position allowing the engine to operate under direct thrust and a downstream extended position, and a grid thrust reverser including cylindrical ring sectors coaxial with the cowl element, including blades with a radial setting, and axially separated to provide radial guide passages therebetween, the cowl element opening the radial guide passages in the downstream extended position through the thrust reverser grids. The radius of the ring sectors forming the grids is not constant around the circumference of the cowl element, the radius of transverse cuts of at least one of the walls not being constant, when moving around the circumference of the cowl element, the cuts being made between the upstream edge of the cowl element and the downstream edge thereof.
