  • Patent number: 11407520
    Abstract: A rear engine attachment having first and second parts, wherein the first part has two first clevises fixed to a lower face of a pylon, two second clevises fixed to a structural casing, two connecting rods mounted to be articulated between first and second clevises, and two shafts realizing the connections between the connecting rods and the clevises. The second part has a shoe fixed to the lower face and having a bore, a main rod which bears a vertical peg engaging in the bore and which is fixed to the structural casing by a first pivot connection, and a secondary rod fixed to the main rod by a second pivot connection and to the structural casing by a third pivot connection. Such a rear engine attachment is more compact, taking up space in the longitudinal direction and thus minimizing the space taken up in the transverse direction.

  • Publication number: 20210214089
    Abstract: A cold regulating valve for a heat exchanger system of an aircraft propulsion system, where the cold regulating valve includes an open frame which delimits an opening, two shutters with an external convex shape slidably mounted on the open frame between a closed position and an open position, a mechanism linked to the shutters and mobile between a first position and a second position, and wherein the mechanism moves the shutters from the closed position to the open position when it moves from the first position to the second position and vice versa, and an actuator acting on the mechanism to move it from the first position to the second position and vice versa. The specific embodiment of the cold regulating valve generates a low drag when the shutters are in a closed position.
