Patent number: 11187189Abstract: A propulsion system includes a bypass turbine engine and a pylon. The turbine engine includes an engine, two internal cowls, two outer cowls, a first lock for locking the internal cowls to the engine, cascades of vanes fixed to the outer cowl via hooping, wherein the outer cowls are movable in translation with respect to the engine, in which each outer cowl is able to slide parallel to a direction of translation on an internal cowl via a top guideway connection and a bottom guideway connection, and in which each outer cowl is mounted with the ability to slide parallel to the direction of translation on the pylon via an upper guideway connection. The propulsion system makes it possible during maintenance operations to move the outer cowl and the internal fixed structure towards the rear and therefore away from the front cowls to get at the engine.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Airbus Operations (S.A.S.)Inventors: Frédéric Journade, Pierre Charon, Laurent Cazeaux, Pascal Gougeon

Patent number: 10578636Abstract: An electronic device for detecting an air flow includes at least one sensor having a pair of platelets, each platelet having an RTD and having one end fixed, the other end being free and overlapping the free end of the other platelet. A platelet is flexible so as to form a switch for an electrical circuit. An air flow with a speed higher than a predetermined speed makes the sensor go from a first state, corresponding to a closed switch, in which the free ends of the platelets are in contact, to a second state, corresponding to an open switch, in which said contact is broken. A detection module allows, for each sensor, a resistance of the electrical circuit to be measured, the resistance corresponding to the RTDs being connected in parallel when the switch is closed or to one of the RTDs when the switch is open.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Airbus Operations S.A.S.Inventor: Pierre Charon

Patent number: 10095971Abstract: An onboard system for detecting a temperature of an element includes a radio-tag, the radio-tag being fixed onto the element and having an antenna, the antenna having a load, and a radio-tag reader. The radio-tag reader is designed to emit an interrogation signal and to receive in return a response signal coming from the radio-tag. The load includes a thermistor and the radio-tag reader is adapted for determining a gain and/or a phase-shift between the interrogation signal and the response signal and for deducing a temperature of the element therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Airbus Operations S.A.S.Inventor: Pierre Charon
