  • Patent number: 8951006
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nacelle for a turbojet, of the type comprising a downstream structure having an outer structure (6) that defines, together with an inner concentric structure (9) for surrounding the downstream portion of the turbojet, an annular flow channel (8), characterised in that a portion at least of said inner structure (9) is mounted so as to be capable of a translation movement along the longitudinal axis of the nacelle so that it can move between a working position, in which the inner structure acts as a casing for the downstream portion of the turbojet, and a maintenance position in which the inner structure exposes said downstream portion of the turbojet.

  • Patent number: 8528857
    Abstract: A translatable thrust inverter with grids for a turbojet, that defines at least a portion of the downstream section of a nacelle housing the turbojet. The thrust reversal system includes a front frame secured to a fixed portion of the nacelle and bearing. A first side includes cylinders for the translational actuation of at least one mobile cowling. A second side includes grids for inverting the peripheral thrusts, wherein the front frame includes a fixed portion for securing the front frame to the fixed portion of the nacelle and bearing the diversion grids. The system further includes a portion mounted so as to be capable of translational movement along the longitudinal axis of the nacelle and on which one end of the cowling actuation cylinders is attached, wherein the fixed and mobile portions of the front frame can be removably connected to each other by locking means.

  • Patent number: 8523516
    Abstract: The nacelle (1) comprises an air intake (5) upstream of the turbojet engine (2), a middle section (6) an internal casing (6a) of which is intended to surround a fan (3) of the turbojet engine (2), and a downstream section (7) comprising an external structure (7a)which is rigidly connected to a downstream part of the casing (6a) of the fan (3) so as to support the turbojet engine (2) and has means of attachment to a strut (12) intended to be connected to a fixed structure (13) of an aeroplane.
