  • Patent number: 11254437
    Abstract: An aircraft engine assembly has a front engine mount connecting an engine and a primary structure of a pylon comprising at least one front rod having at least three front link points. A first front link point is configured to connect the front rod and the front end of the primary structure. A second front link point is configured to connect the front rod and the core of the engine. A third front link point is configured to connect the front rod and the engine core and is offset relative to the second front link point in a horizontal transverse direction. The first front link point of the front engine mount is separated from the rotation axis of the engine by a distance greater than an exterior radius of the rear casing of the core of the engine at the rear link point of the rear engine mount.

  • Patent number: 11084597
    Abstract: To bring a pylon box of an aircraft engine attachment pylon as close as possible to a wing box, two lateral front fasteners are provided. Each of the fasteners comprises a clevis secured to the wing box, the clevis comprising two webs, at least one of which passes through an upper spar of the box, the upper part of one of the two opposite lateral flanges of a lower transverse rib of the box reinforcement, the upper part of an associated lateral panel, and a pin system passing through the clevis and the two upper parts.

  • Patent number: 8864078
    Abstract: According to the invention, on at least one of the faces (1E, 1I) of said leading edge (1), forward of the partition (3), an action is exerted on the fluid flow (EF) so as to cause the latter to switch from the laminar state (EFL) to the turbulent state (EFT) in order to increase the thermal exchanges and minimize the thermal stresses on said leading edge.

  • Publication number: 20100124875
    Abstract: An air exhaust device is equipped with a grid (10) that is connected to an aerodynamic surface of an aircraft, whereby the grid includes a number of openings that are delimited by separating zones that are arranged in the extension of the aerodynamic surface of the aircraft, whereby the device and the grid are characterized by a surface that makes possible the passage of the air called passage surface, characterized in that it includes at least one movable part so as to increase the passage surface of the device, in particular in the case of a malfunction, and in that the grid (10) has a passage surface that is determined as a function of the flow rate of air that is to be evacuated under the most restrictive conditions of a normal flight, in the absence of a malfunction.

  • Patent number: 6443395
    Abstract: Air inlet cowl for a jet engine equipped with deicing means. According to the invention, the hollow leading edge (16) of said cowl (9) comprises a mixer (19) for forming, at each moment, a mixture of the stream of hot air (20) being injected and some, previously injected, of the stream of air that is recirculating. This evens out the temperature inside said leading edge (16), eliminating hot spots and optimizing the de-icing.
