  • Publication number: 20180010517
    Abstract: The invention relates to a turbine engine combustion module (10), in particular for an aircraft turbine engine, designed to carry out constant-volume combustion, comprising: at least two combustion chambers (12A, 12B) arranged about an axis, each chamber (12A, 12B, 12C) comprising a compressed gas intake port (16) and a burnt gas exhaust port (18); and an ignition means that triggers combustion in the combustion chambers (12A, 12B, 12C). The module (10) comprises at least one duct (80) which establishes a communication between a first combustion chamber (12A) and at least one second combustion chamber (12B) in order to inject burnt gases from the first combustion chamber (12A) into the second combustion chamber (12B) so as to trigger combustion in the second combustion chamber (12B).

  • Patent number: 9726111
    Abstract: A discharge system of a separated twin-flow turbojet for an aircraft, supported by a suspension mast, is disclosed. The system includes a main nozzle delimited by an annular cowl with a slot of annular shape defining upstream and downstream portions of the cowl and which is traversed by the suspension mast. The downstream portion of the cowl of the main nozzle includes a first part extending downstream from the upstream portion of the cowl to a trailing edge of the main nozzle, on either side of the suspension mast along two predefined angular sectors; and a second part formed from an internal contour of the slot and having a trailing edge with a diameter smaller than that of the trailing edge associated with the first part of the downstream portion of the cowl. Connecting walls laterally connect the first and second parts of the downstream portion.

  • Patent number: 9488106
    Abstract: In an assembly including a bypass turbine engine and an attachment system attaching the turbine engine to an aircraft structure, the attachment system includes a mast, at least two rear attachments connecting the mast to two rear attachment points of the turbine engine, and a rear covering covering the rear attachments and providing a streamlined fairing. The rear covering includes two side walls, each including a first portion extending along and in proximity of the mast and extending rearwards, and a second portion projecting sideways relative to the first portion towards its outside, to cover the rear attachments. Each second portion is substantially a bulge and is connected to the first portion along a curved connection line extending between front and rear points situated substantially level with an inner longitudinal edge of the first portion to minimize the impact on a flow of bypass stream leaving the bypass passage.

  • Patent number: 9249755
    Abstract: According to the invention, the method for defining the shape of a convergent-divergent nozzle of longitudinal axis L-L comprising a convergent part connected, at a throat, to a divergent part the downstream free end of which comprises scallops delimiting noise-reducing chevrons distributed in the circumferential direction, comprises defining beforehand the divergent part of the nozzle using a divergent first portion, a divergent second portion and a convergent portion, attributing an initial value to dimensional parameters defining the chevrons and the three portions, calculating performance criteria and checking that the calculated performance criteria satisfy predefined performance conditions.
