Abstract: An airship comprises a main body having a rigid structure surrounding a plurality of containers for a lighter-than-air gas, a plurality of propeller units mechanically connected to the rigid structure and each comprising one or more electric motors for driving a thrust propeller, and one or more power-generating units for powering the electric motors. The airship also comprises two nacelles symmetrically arranged on either side of the main body and each configured to receive one or more of the power-generating units, each ducted nacelle comprising a mechanical structure connected to the rigid structure of the main body by a joint, a “fail safe” interface, and at least one rod or stay cable between a first point of attachment on the rigid structure of the main body and a second point of attachment on the mechanical structure of the nacelle.

Abstract: A turbine shaft of a turbomachine extending along a longitudinal axis (A) includes a main tubular portion with a length L1 and a maximum outer main diameter. The shaft further includes a secondary tubular segment with a length L2 and a maximum outer secondary diameter greater than the maximum outer main diameter. The secondary tubular segment extends radially from the shaft such that the main tubular portion extends on either side of the secondary tubular segment along the longitudinal axis (A). The secondary tubular segment includes a weak point that is configured to break the shaft into two distinct parts when the value of a tangential stress applied to the shaft exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and thus cause retraction of the turbine.

Abstract: An aircraft twin-spool turbomachine comprises an inter flow compartment (50) housing a fuel tank (54), the exterior of the inter flow compartment being delimited by a cover (52) delimiting the interior of a bypass flow (14b) of the turbomachine, the cover comprising a closable access (64) to a remote lubricant tank filling orifice (74). The turbomachine also comprises: an overflow evacuation orifice (82) located on the tank lower than the lubricant inlet orifice (68); a lubricant overflow evacuation conduit (84) routed downwards from the overflow evacuation orifice (82); a controlled evacuation valve (88), associated with the overflow evacuation orifice (82); and a control device (90, 94) for the evacuation valve (88), the control device being accessible through the access (64).

Abstract: A rear suspension for attaching an aeroengine (20) of longitudinal axis X to a carrier structure or mast (12) of an aircraft, the suspension including at least two clevis-forming vertical uprights (26A, 26B; 28A, 28B) supporting a respective horizontal slideway (30A, 30B) having a roller (32) freely mounted thereon that is suitable for moving in a slot (34A, 34B) in a lug (20A) arranged in a YZ plane of transverse axis Y and of vertical axis Z, in such a manner as to enable the aeroengine to move only in translation along the longitudinal axis X and in pivoting about said longitudinal axis X.
