  • Patent number: 11913403
    Abstract: A thrust reverser including a stationary structure, a lower door and an upper door. This reverser includes at least one deflector configured to be able to redirect forward from the stationary structure a portion of fluid exiting the reverser according to a trajectory oriented towards a lateral opening extending between the stationary structure and the upper door. Such a deflector makes it possible to improve the control of the air current lines acting on a tail unit and in particular on a control surface of an aircraft equipped with such a reverser when the latter is in thrust reversal configuration, thereby making it possible to improve the controllability of this aircraft.

  • Patent number: 8745966
    Abstract: A mobile cowl for a cascade-type thrust reverser includes an interior wall having an anterior zone, a movably mounted shutter and a link rod of which one end is connected to the shutter to actuate the shutter from one position to other. One of the positions may be a direct-jet position in which the shutter is situated facing the anterior zone, and other position may be a reverse-jet position in which the shutter is situated away from the anterior zone. The interior wall has, in the anterior zone, a part able to allow the link rod end to move beyond a normal position in the event of abnormal movements of the link rod end, without wrecking the interior wall.

  • Patent number: 8245815
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cellular-core structure (10) that can be used in an acoustic panel for a turbojet nacelle, comprising at least one cellular unit (12; 14), each cellular unit (12; 14) comprising two end sheets (18; 20), the end sheets (18; 20) being joined together by joining elements (24) that are placed so as to form cellular cells (32). The subject of the invention is also a method of producing such a structure, an acoustic panel comprising such a structure, and a nacelle comprising such an acoustic panel.

  • Publication number: 20110139897
    Abstract: Said mobile cowl (1) for a cascade thrust reverser (19), comprises: an internal wall (5) with a front section (17), at least one flap (13) mounted such to pivot between a direct jet position (11) and a reversed jet position (21) and at least one rod (23), one end (25) of which is connected to said flap (13) to bring about the actuation thereof from one to the other of said positions. The internal wall (5) has a part (31) in said front section (17) which is elastic or fusible and domed to the outside of said mobile cowl. Radial play is provided between said rod end (25) and said part (31).
