  • Publication number: 20180327104
    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion assembly including a fan. It include a first engine and a second engine which are not coaxial and a mechanical energy transmission device configured to enable the fan to be conjointly rotated by the first engine and the second engine. This allows an aircraft propulsion assembly to be produced of which the fan may be positioned so as to ingest the boundary layer formed at the surface of a member of the aircraft equipped with the propulsion assembly, while allowing operating modes in the case of certain failures, and certification for commercial use of an aircraft equipped with such a propulsion assembly, to which the invention also relates.

  • Patent number: 9902501
    Abstract: A propeller for a turbomachine intended to be driven in rotation about a propeller rotation axis and including variable pitch blades. The propeller further includes a structure for radial retention of the blades in the event of them breaking. The retaining structure extends around the propeller rotation axis and has the aerodynamic part of each blade of the propeller pass through it. Moreover, each aerodynamic part is equipped with an abutment configured to be retained radially by the retaining structure in the event of a blade fracture causing a fracture in the aerodynamic part radially inside the abutment.

  • Patent number: 9738373
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fish joint device intended to attach securely first and second structural elements of an aircraft to one another, having two fishplates positioned either side of the structural elements, and attached to them by a set of fishplate through fastenings. According to the invention, the fish joint device includes at least one intermediate fish joint plate which is positioned between one of said fishplates and said structural elements which said intermediate plate partly covers, and which is attached to these elements by a set of intermediate plate through fastenings which includes the set of fishplate through fastenings.

  • Publication number: 20170167437
    Abstract: A jet engine comprises at least three zones including an air intake zone and an exhaust zone. The axis of the air intake zone is not coincident with the axis of the exhaust zone of the engine, the engine as a result, having at least two intersecting axes and being referred to as a multiaxial engine. Therefore, the jet engine has at least two zones with different longitudinal axis orientations: by choosing an axial orientation of the zones of the engine that are more sensitive to a detachment or breakage of elements of the gas generator, it is possible to also choose a direction of the possible paths of these detached elements, to avoid them striking the opposite engine.

  • Patent number: 9656736
    Abstract: In the case of an aircraft aft portion equipped with an engine mounting structure passing across the fuselage, assembly of the aft portion presents problems caused by the moving of the box structure of the mounting structure through lateral openings in the fuselage. In order to overcome these problems, a method of assembling an aircraft aft portion is proposed, in which method the box structure of the engine mounting structure is inserted into the fuselage through a top opening extending from one side of the fuselage to the other across a vertical midplane of the fuselage such that the top opening opens to the top and to the sides of the fuselage.

  • Patent number: 9656742
    Abstract: An air ejection device comprises an aerodynamic profile provided with a slot and an ejection nozzle. The device comprises a flexible tongue fixed flush with the aerodynamic profile in such a way as to obstruct the slot, the tongue being able to lift under the effect of a pressure differential between the air situated in the ejection nozzle and the outside air. The tongue makes it possible for the slot made in the profile to be obstructed during phases of flight during which the ejection of the air is unnecessary, and prevents external air from entering the slot. The flow of air over the aerodynamic profile is unaffected, and there is no increase in drag. Because the tongue lifts as a result of a pressure differential, it does not require any control mechanism to lift it.

  • Publication number: 20160229513
    Abstract: An aircraft tail cone comprising a fuselage in which avionic equipment is housed. The tail cone comprises two lateral hatches formed in the fuselage, at least one hatch being formed on each of the two opposite sides of the fuselage. Each hatch is mounted removably with respect to the fuselage so as to take up a closed first position in which the hatch closes a lateral opening in the fuselage, and an open second position in which the open hatch allows access to the inside of the tail cone through the corresponding opening The avionic equipment that requires regular inspection and/or maintenance operations is housed in a part of the tail cone which is accessible through the two lateral openings in the fuselage to a person who remains on the outside of the fuselage.
