  • Patent number: 11186379
    Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a system for installing and removing a propulsion unit on a pylon of an aircraft, a propulsion unit of the type including a nacelle and a turbojet engine, the turbojet engine being linked on the pylon by at least one front suspension and one rear suspension. The system includes a supporting structure which is adapted to support a thrust reverser device, a front suspension of the turbojet engine, which carries a front part of the supporting structure, and which is removably fastened on a front part of the pylon, and a rear suspension of the turbojet engine which carries a rear part of the supporting structure, and which is removably fastened on a rear part of the pylon, and the disengagement of said suspensions of the pylon allowing removing the propulsion unit mounted on the pylon.

  • Patent number: 10641206
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a nacelle rear assembly for turbojet engine including at least one thrust reverser device to redirect air flow circulating from upstream to downstream in a flow path of the turbojet engine and a mast to link the nacelle to a structure of the aircraft. In one form, the nacelle extends longitudinally from forth to back along an axis and includes a cradle fastened on the mast. In one form, the cradle includes a first longeron and a second longeron extending longitudinally on either side of the mast. The first and second longeron each include a sliding guide device for sliding of a movable cowl and of a cascade of the thrust reverser device.
