  • Patent number: 10370112
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a propulsion assembly having a nacelle surrounding a turbojet engine, the nacelle having an upstream structure with an air inlet including an air inlet lip, the air inlet lip defining, with the air inlet lip, an air inlet chamber, the upstream structure being capable of translational movement along an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the nacelle, between a closed position and an open position that allows access to the turbojet engine. The propulsion assembly further includes at least one locking/unlocking device allowing and preventing movement of the upstream structure that in one form is fixed to the air inlet lip and to an upstream flange of the turbojet engine.

  • Publication number: 20180230949
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a variable section nozzle for an aircraft nacelle having a longitudinal axis. The variable section nozzle includes movable doors and at least one displacement device for displacing the movable doors between a reduced section position and a larger position. The movable doors include at least one first guide device and at least one second guide device, each operable to guide the displacement of the doors relative to a fixed structure of the nozzle. The second guide device is disposed downstream relative to the first guide device and each of the first and second guide devices provide a curvilinear path. In one form, the curvilinear paths are substantially circular and define a circular arc.
