  • Patent number: 7854123
    Abstract: The pattern relates to a cover for a turbomachine nozzle, the cover having a plurality of patterns each with an outline of triangular shape having a base and two vertices that are spaced downstream and interconnected by a side. For each pattern, the vertices present respective curved outlines and they are interconnected by a curved portion presenting a radius of curvature greater than the radii of curvature of the outlines of said vertices, each side being connected to the trailing edge of the cover via a curved outline presenting a radius of curvature greater than the radii of curvature of the outlines of the vertices and greater than the radius of curvature of the outline of the curved portion, and the vertices and the curved portion are inclined radially towards the inside of the cover, with the curved portion being radially offset outwards relative to the vertices.

  • Patent number: 7845156
    Abstract: A turbofan exhaust system includes at least one exhaust nozzle with a trailing edge having an upper edge, a lower edge, an inner lateral edge-and an outer lateral edge. The upper edge is upstream with respect to the lower edge. The outer lateral edge of the exhaust nozzle is also upstream of the inner lateral edge. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the noise perceived in the cabin of the aircraft at the same time as the noise perceived on the ground.

  • Patent number: 7581384
    Abstract: The invention relates to an annular cover for a turbomachine nozzle, the cover having a plurality of patterns extending a trailing edge of said cover and spaced apart circumferentially from one another, each pattern having an outline that is substantially triangular in shape, with a base formed by a portion of the trailing edge of the cover and a vertex spaced downstream from the base and connected thereto by two sides. For each pattern, the vertex presents an outline that is substantially curved; each side is connected to the trailing edge of the cover following an outline that is substantially curved having a radius of curvature that is greater than the radius of curvature of the outline of the vertex; and the outline of each of the sides includes at least one point of inflexion having a tangent that is substantially parallel to the base.

  • Publication number: 20070176053
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a turbofan exhaust system comprising at least one exhaust nozzle (13; 17) with a trailing edge having an upper edge (13s; 17s), a lower edge (13i; 17i), an inner lateral edge (13int; 17int) and an outer lateral edge (13ext; 17ext), the upper edge (13s; 17s) being upstream with respect to the lower edge (13i; 17i). According to the invention, the exhaust system is characterized in that the outer lateral edge (13ext; 17ext) of the exhaust nozzle is also upstream of the inner lateral edge (13int; 17int). This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the noise perceived in the cabin of the aircraft at the same time as the noise perceived on the ground.
