  • Publication number: 20260070669
    Abstract: A propulsion system includes an engine, a pylon box, and a structural attachment. The engine includes an engine casing and an engine core. The pylon box has a front part and a rear part. The rear part is configured to attach the engine to an aircraft structure. The structural attachment has a front end configured to attach to the engine casing and a rear end configured to attach to the pylon which allows load transfer to the aircraft structure through the pylon box.

  • Publication number: 20250108551
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an intermediate resistive membrane called “septum” with tubular guides for an acoustic treatment panel with double degree of freedom. The membrane and the tubular guides are manufactured by hot stamping a substrate placed between two parts of a stamping press and an additional layer taking the form of a thermoplastic film of small thickness and pre-perforations. Hot air intake may be used for the hot stamping.
