  • 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.

  • Patent number: 7967243
    Abstract: The invention relates to a configuration of engines (3) for aircraft located in the rear part of the fuselage (2) of said aircraft, the engines (3) being attached in a fixed manner by pylons (5) to the structure of the aircraft, said structure comprising a torsion box (14) which traverses the fuselage (2) and is used to attach the pylons (5), the fuselage (2) comprising an opening (4) allowing the passage of the suspension pylons (5) for the engines (3), said configuration further comprising a pivoting area (8), an actuator (7) and a fitting (6) through which the actuator (7) is attached to the suspension pylons (5) and to the torsion box (14) of the aircraft, such that the assembly formed by the actuator (7) and the fitting (6) allow balancing the pylon (5) and engine (3) assembly of the aircraft through the pivoting area (8), thus achieving controllable and optimal thrust vectoring of the aircraft for each flight phase.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20090256025
    Abstract: Stabilizing and directional-control surface of an aircraft, said surface comprising a vertical stabilizer (2) and a rudder (3), it being possible for said rudder (3) to be deflected relative to the vertical stabilizer (2), and moreover the rudder (3) comprises an internal profile (10) that can be extended and retracted by means of an actuating system (40) relative to the rest of the structure of the rudder (3), so that the stabilizing and control surface, in the retracted position of the internal profile (10) of the rudder (3), is an excellent aerodynamic surface in normal flying conditions, and at the same time increase of the aerodynamic control surface of the vertical stabilizer (2) is achieved for requirements of controllability of the aircraft at low speeds of said aircraft and against strong yawing moments acting thereon, in the position in which the internal profile (10) of the rudder (3) is extended, and moreover the structure of the rudder (3) can be opened, to permit extension of the internal profil
