  • Publication number: 20230312121
    Abstract: An acoustic panel including first and second cellular structures, the first cellular structure including a set-back portion to form a recess dimensioned to accommodate the second cellular structure such that first faces of the first and second cellular structures, in contact with a first, acoustically resistive layer, are coplanar and that first edge faces of the first and second cellular structures are coplanar when the second edge face of the second cellular structure is in contact with the set-back portion. By virtue of the set-back portion, the first and second cellular structures are positioned correctly with respect to one another, thus contributing to an optimization of the acoustic treatment.

  • Publication number: 20230286245
    Abstract: A honeycomb structure has a core made up of a plurality of corrugated sheets which are superposed and fixed together. The corrugated sheets are made from a thermally insulating material. The corrugated sheets are impregnated with a resin filled with thermally conductive powder along their entire length. The honeycomb structure can be used when the ambient temperature exceeds, for example, 120° C.

  • Patent number: 11731775
    Abstract: An aircraft nacelle including an automatically-operated locking device for limiting deformations of the cowl. This automatically-operated locking device includes at least one locking post connected to the cowl, at least one latch able to move between a first position corresponding to a locked state in which the latch prevents the locking post from becoming distanced from a fixed structure and a second position corresponding to an unlocked state in which the latch allows the locking post to become distanced from the fixed structure, at least one return system configured to hold the latch in its second position corresponding to the unlocked state, the cowl holding the latch in its first position when the cowl is in the closed position and allowing the latch to pivot toward its second position when the cowl is in the open position.

  • Publication number: 20230182424
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an acoustic treatment panel including at least one cellular structure with at least one anchor layer at the level of at least one of its faces. The anchor layer includes at least one adhesive sheet chosen from an adhesive film or a ply of pre-impregnated adhesive fibers in contact with the cellular structure. The method of manufacture includes, before the integration of the cellular structure in an acoustic treatment panel, a step of placing the anchor layer on a support, the adhesive sheet being the last to be placed, a step of placing the cellular structure on the anchor layer in contact against the adhesive sheet, and then a step of polymerization of the anchor layer and of the cellular structure.

  • Patent number: 11676567
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sound absorption structure comprising a cellular panel, a porous layer positioned on a cellular panel first face, a reflective layer positioned on a cellular panel second face and a plurality of acoustic elements positioned in the cellular panel. The method comprises the steps of producing, for each acoustic element, a recess in the cellular panel opening out onto the first and second faces of the cellular panel, inserting the acoustic elements into their recesses, laying an anchoring layer on the second cellular panel face, curing or polymerization at a first pressure to connect each acoustic element to the cellular panel and/or to the anchoring layer, putting in place the porous layer and the reflective layer, and curing or polymerization at a second pressure to connect the porous layer and the reflective layer to the cellular panel.

  • Patent number: 11572189
    Abstract: An acoustic absorption structure comprising a plurality of resonators. Each resonator comprises a first chamber which has a first mouthpiece delimited by an edge pressed against an inner surface of a porous zone of a skin so that the first chamber and the skin delimit a first cavity, a second chamber, in which is positioned the first chamber, which delimits, with the first chamber, a second cavity, at least one acoustic orifice passing through the first chamber, at least one drainage orifice passing through the first chamber and at least one drainage hole passing the second chamber, each drainage orifice and each drainage hole being configured to limit an accumulation of fluid in the resonator. Also, an aircraft propulsive assembly or an aircraft comprising the acoustic absorption structure are provided.

  • Patent number: 11293376
    Abstract: A nacelle comprising a fixed structure with a fixed cowl and a duct, a mobile assembly with a chassis forming a frame and a mobile cowl, the chassis being mobile, relative to the fixed structure, in translation between an advanced position and a retracted position to open an opening through the frame between the duct and the outside. The mobile assembly comprises at least one threaded rod parallel to the direction of displacement and fixed to the chassis through the frame. The fixed structure comprises an outer, an inner, and at least one intermediate box fixed to the inner box and to the outer box. For each threaded rod, the fixed structure comprises a motorized ball nut which meshes with the threaded rod, and an actuator which turns the ball nut and is fixed to at least one box from among the outer, the inner, or the intermediate box.

  • Publication number: 20200025128
    Abstract: A dual flow jet engine comprising a core, a surrounding nacelle, delimiting, with the core, a secondary jet, and having a structure and an outer skin fixed to the structure. The nacelle comprises an annular structure through which windows delimited by the annular structure are produced between the secondary jet and the outside. Each window has a regulation system comprising at least one shutter having an outer face, a leading and a trailing edge. Each shutter is mounted articulated at the nacelle structure window at its leading edge and is mobile between a closed position wherein the trailing edge is close to the outer skin and so the shutter closes the window and an open position where the shutter trailing edge moves outwards away from the outer skin to free the window, and for each shutter, a maneuvering system to displace the shutter between the open and closed positions.
