  • METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING AN AIRCRAFT PYLON AND AIRCRAFT PYLON OBTAINED BY THIS METHOD
    Publication number: 20220041293
    Abstract: A method for assembling an aircraft pylon including a primary structure and at least one internal system positioned at least partially within the primary structure, wherein the assembly method includes a first step of assembling a part of the primary structure so that the interior of the primary structure remains accessible, a step of mounting an internal systems module including at least one support and at least one internal system connected to the support, a second step of assembling the internal systems module and the partially assembled primary structure, a third step of assembling any element of the primary structure not assembled in the first assembly step, and an aircraft pylon assembled by such a method.

  • Method for assembling a primary structure of an aircraft pylon
    Patent number: 10800549
    Abstract: A method for assembling a primary structure of an aircraft pylon, includes a step of fixing an angle bracket to each of the first and second lateral panels such as to obtain an L form for each of the first and second lateral panels prior to a placement of said L forms each placed against two sides of each transverse frame. This assembly technique makes it possible to reduce the mounting clearances such that it is unnecessary to fit shims, resulting in a reduction of mounting time and manufacturing costs.

  • Method For Assembling An Aircraft Pylon
    Publication number: 20200231294
    Abstract: A method for assembling an aircraft pylon having a primary structure and at least one internal system at least partially positioned within the primary structure, wherein the internal system is positioned inside the primary structure before the last lateral panel of the primary structure is attached. The absence of one of the lateral panels facilitates the installation of the internal systems.
