  • Patent number: 11619191
    Abstract: A turbofan propulsion assembly includes a thrust reverser with movable flaps. The propulsion assembly further includes an engine and a nacelle surrounding the engine, and the nacelle includes a thrust reverser with sliding cowls and thrust reverser flaps, and an inner structure. The portion of the inner structure positioned perpendicular to the thrust reverser flaps includes two halves that can open toward the exterior of the nacelle cowls.

  • Patent number: 11300076
    Abstract: A propulsion unit includes a nacelle, a turbojet engine, and a thrust reverser having gratings provided with movable thrust reversal gratings arranged around an annular duct for fresh air from the turbojet engine. The propulsion unit further includes actuators arranged around the annular duct and each actuator has a front end attached to the turbojet engine and a rear end which translates movable rear covers and gratings for opening, in the annular duct, radial passages which receive said gratings. The propulsion unit further has lifting points that are arranged around the annular duct for lifting the turbojet engine. At least one of the lifting points is formed on a beam for attaching an front end of an actuator.

  • Publication number: 20220082064
    Abstract: An aircraft propulsion unit including a nacelle and a turbojet engine. The aircraft propulsion unit includes an external envelope, at least one fan casing, at least one actuator, and at least one support structure. The external envelope includes fan cowls. The fan casing cooperates with the fan cowls to define an interior space configured to house a thrust reverser configured to be displaced between a first position and a second position. The actuator configured to move the thrust reverser between the first position and the second position The support structure connects the fan cowls and the fan. The support structure includes at least one aperture configured to allow passage of part of the actuator.
