  • Publication number: 20240124148
    Abstract: A nacelle includes a thrust reverser having a cowl movable in translation and an ejection structure also movable in translation and forming with the cowl a moving assembly, the moving assembly configured to moved, alternately, into a closed position in which the ejection structure is inserted into a housing formed in the nacelle and the cowl closes an ejection opening in the nacelle, and an open position in which the cowl releases the ejection opening in the nacelle and the ejection structure is located in this ejection opening, the positioning of the ejection structure in the housing in the closed position making it possible, in particular, to make space in the ejection opening and to reduce the size of the thrust reverser.

  • Publication number: 20230340929
    Abstract: A deflector provided with a spoiler for a thrust reverser of an aircraft engine nacelle. The deflector, a lateral deflector or an orbital deflector, may be in an exhaust structure of a thrust reverser and comprises a deflector plate configured to act on an aerodynamic flow. The deflector plate has a concave upstream face and a convex downstream face, as well as an intake end and an exhaust end. The deflector is fitted with a spoiler rigidly connected to the exhaust end of the deflector plate and arranged transversely in relation to the deflector plate. The spoiler endowing the deflector with specific properties to act on the aerodynamic flow.

  • Publication number: 20230340928
    Abstract: A deflector for an ejection structure of a thrust reverser is disclosed including a deflector plate configured to act on an aerodynamic flow, the deflector plate having a concave upstream face, a convex downstream face, an inlet end, and an outlet end. The upstream face and the downstream face of the deflector plate have different curved profiles, the deflector has a particular profile giving it properties allowing it to act effectively on the aerodynamic flow so as to enhance the performance of the thrust reverser in which it is mounted.

  • Patent number: 11199108
    Abstract: The outlet of a heat exchange circuit extending under a wall, such as a nacelle cowling of an aircraft engine, is divided into openings in the form of parallel slots which are elongated in the longitudinal direction and successively arranged in the transverse direction to divide the hot gas into streams while facilitating the circulation of fresh gas streams, originating from an external flow, on the intermediate laminates. The hot gas cannot fall back easily onto the outer face of the wall and risk damaging the wall, and the gas mixes more effectively with the fresh outdoor air. The openings are provided with nozzles flaring in the transverse direction and the downstream longitudinal direction to facilitate the mixing of the hot and cold gas streams.
