  • Patent number: 11933246
    Abstract: An aircraft turbojet engine extending along an X axis and comprising a blower configured to provide a reverse thrust and a nacelle comprising an air intake which comprises at least one deflection member movably mounted between a deployed position in which the deflection member projects from the inner wall or from the lip of the air intake in a radially inward direction of deployment facing the X axis or in a longitudinal direction of deployment with respect to the X axis, in order to allow a release of the reverse air flow from the inner wall to support the reverse thrust phase, and a retracted position in which the air intake has an aerodynamic profile so as to guide the internal air flow along the inner wall in order to support the thrust phase.

  • Publication number: 20220177149
    Abstract: An air inlet duct for a nacelle of an aircraft propulsion assembly includes an annular body and an annular air inlet lip with two coaxial annular walls, inner and outer, respectively. The inner wall defining a portion of an inner annular surface of the air inlet duct and the outer wall defining a portion of an outer annular surface of the air inlet duct. A control system translates the lip from a first position, in which the lip is attached to the body, to a second position, in which the lip is axially separated from the body. An annular row of grilles is translatably secured to the lip. The grilles are housed inside the body in the first position and extended from the body in order for an air flow entering the air inlet duct to pass therethrough in the second position.
