  • Patent number: 8550397
    Abstract: A covering of a fuselage for aircraft having propeller engines, including an opening which is surrounded by a structural frame formed by ribs and stringers of the aircraft around the area of maximum acoustic impact of the propeller engines. The opening further includes a non-structural panel joined to the structural frame by a non-rigid joint which considerably attenuates the vibrations through such joint, thus reducing the indirect acoustic noise and the indirect structural noise generated by the propeller engines inside the passenger cabin of the aircraft.

  • Patent number: 8152097
    Abstract: A stabilizing and directional-control surface of an aircraft includes a vertical stabilizer and a rudder that deflects relative to the vertical stabilizer. The rudder includes an internal profile that is extendable and retractable by an actuating system. An aerodynamic control surface area of the rudder is increased when the internal profile of the rudder is extended as compared to the aerodynamic control surface area of the rudder when the internal profile of the rudder is retracted.

  • Publication number: 20110127374
    Abstract: Methods for minimizing the effects of pylori induced disturbances of the airflow at the propeller blades (2) of propeller propulsion devices (3) attached to an aircraft component (5) by means of upstream pylons (4), comprising steps of injecting fluid on the zone of the propeller blades (2) from the rear part of said pylons (4) for minimizing the effects of said disturbances detected through the values of a first set of parameters such acoustic pressure and vibration in the aircraft structure and vibration in the propeller blades (2) that are obtained continuously or according to models linked to one or more parameters of a second set of parameters indicative of the aircraft flight conditions such as flight altitude, flight speed propulsion power, propeller rotation speed obtained from a tachometer signal, ambient temperature of the air. The invention also refers to systems for implementing said methods.

  • Publication number: 20100001121
    Abstract: System for tilting a power unit (4) of an aircraft, said power unit (4) being located in the rear portion of the fuselage (1) of the aircraft, said system comprising a tilting unit (21) and a pivoting unit (6), with said tilting unit (21) permitting the tilting of the power unit (4) in a plane parallel to the vertical plane of the aircraft via the pivoting unit (6), giving rise to deflection of the exhaust gases from power unit (4), thus providing a vectorial thrust controllable independently for each power unit (4) of the aircraft, optimum for each phase of flight or manoeuvre of said aircraft, said component of vector thrust being deflected angularly in a plane parallel to the vertical plane of the aircraft and relative to the longitudinal axis of said aircraft.
