  • Patent number: 11946436
    Abstract: An architecture for controlling and/or monitoring at least one actuator of a mobile cowl of a thrust reverser equipping a nacelle, the actuator being driven by at least one engine, includes at least one engine sensor to provide its control according to instructions, the architecture including an electronic control system to process at least one piece of information generated by the engine sensor and to calculate, using at least this same piece of information, the position of the mobile cowl of the thrust reverser.

  • Publication number: 20220186665
    Abstract: An engine nacelle, for a turbojet engine of the type having a lubricant, includes a cooling system. The cooling system includes a cold source heat-exchanger, configured to exchange heat between a heat-transfer fluid and air, a heat-transfer fluid inlet duct leading into the cold source heat-exchanger, and a heat-transfer fluid outlet duct leading out of the cold source heat-exchanger. The inlet and outlet ducts are configured to form a recirculation loop between the cold source heat-exchanger and a hot source heat-exchanger, configured to exchange heat between the heat-transfer fluid and the lubricant. The cold source heat-exchanger is arranged on a movable surface of the nacelle with respect to the hot source heat-exchanger and the heat-transfer fluid inlet and outlet ducts are extendable and/or flexible to permit the relative movement between the cold source heat-exchanger and the hot source heat-exchanger.

  • Patent number: 11313916
    Abstract: A testability method for the in-flight testing of an operating state of an electronic power chain having at least one power converter intended for driving an electric motor that actuates at least one aircraft component includes controlling actuation of the converter, transmitting a test signal, collecting at least one measurement signal, and determining an operating state.

  • Publication number: 20220025816
    Abstract: A cooling system for cooling an aircraft turbojet engine includes a first heat-exchanger for exchanging heat between a heat-transfer fluid and a lubricant of the turbojet engine, a second heat-exchanger for exchanging heat between the heat-transfer fluid and air, and a circulation duct for circulating heat-transfer fluid in a closed circuit. The cooling system further includes at least one regulating device for regulating the heat drawn from the lubricant, controlled by a control module of the regulating device that is configured to receive information according to the various flight phases.

  • Patent number: 11168645
    Abstract: An actuation device for a thrust reverser includes thrust-reversal movable elements carried by a nacelle and displaceable between a retracted and deployed position. The actuating device includes two actuators mounted on the nacelle and connected to a motor and to the movable elements. The actuation device drives the movable elements in a retraction or deployment direction over a course of the actuators between the retracted and deployed position. The actuation device further includes locks for locking the movable elements in the retracted position and antideployment members associated with the actuators which allow free operation of the actuators in the direction of retraction and retain the actuators in the direction of deployment. The antideployment bodies further provide free operation of the actuators in the direction of deployment over part of the actuators stroke that corresponds to a shift from an over-retraction position to the retraction position of the movable elements.

  • Publication number: 20210206505
    Abstract: An electrical control system intended for an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle includes two control modules of a single power module controlling an electric machine and an approval module linking each of the control modules to the single power module. The approval module selectively authorizes the control of the single power module by one of the control modules.
