  • Publication number: 20220041293
    Abstract: A method for assembling an aircraft pylon including a primary structure and at least one internal system positioned at least partially within the primary structure, wherein the assembly method includes a first step of assembling a part of the primary structure so that the interior of the primary structure remains accessible, a step of mounting an internal systems module including at least one support and at least one internal system connected to the support, a second step of assembling the internal systems module and the partially assembled primary structure, a third step of assembling any element of the primary structure not assembled in the first assembly step, and an aircraft pylon assembled by such a method.

  • Patent number: 10336458
    Abstract: In order to reduce engine deformation, the subject matter disclosed herein provides an assembly for an aircraft, comprising an aircraft rear section, an engine, a nacelle, and a mounting strut for mounting the engine on the rear section, the assembly also comprising mounting for mounting the engine on a rigid structure of the strut, the mounting comprising two engine mounts designed to react the axial thrust forces generated by the engine. According to the subject matter disclosed herein, the rigid structure of the strut comprises a first portion partially enveloping the engine, this first portion comprising an external skin forming part of an external aerodynamic surface of the nacelle, and the two engine mounts are arranged diametrically opposite each other at the rear of the rigid structure, being attached to the first portion.

  • Patent number: 9944378
    Abstract: The invention relates to a structural element for an aircraft fuselage, generally shaped in the form of a longitudinally elongate section. The element comprises two wings, each wing including: a portion that extends uninterrupted along the entire length of the section, and legs spaced apart from one another and extending from said uninterrupted portion such as to define an opening between two consecutive legs. One of the legs of one wing is arranged to face at least part of the opening defined between two consecutive legs of the other wing. Consequently, the structural element can be produced from a single fibrous preform on a curved tool, minimizing waste material and reducing the weight of said element.

  • Patent number: 9868545
    Abstract: A protective assembly and structural element for an aircraft comprising a portion of an attachment pylon primary structure is provided. The attachment pylon primary structure portion is at least partially covered by a protective assembly comprising a layer forming a firewall and a thermally insulating layer, the thermally insulating layer being located between the layer forming a firewall and the attachment pylon primary structure portion. The protective assembly is attached to the pylon primary structure by fasteners axially arranged in pairs, one of each pair extending through the protective assembly and the other of each pair extending through the pylon primary structure.

  • Publication number: 20130180642
    Abstract: The invention provides a self-stiffened composite panel including an external skin, an internal skin superposed on the external skin, which covers an internal face of the external skin and at least one stiffener protruding inwards relatively to the internal skin which extends along a longitudinal direction, characterised in that the stiffener is made as one piece with the internal skin and consists of a portion of the internal skin which is located at distance from the external skin. The invention also provides a process for making such a self-stiffened panel.

  • Patent number: 7810756
    Abstract: A beam for reinforcing the structure of an aircraft is located inside the fuselage of the aircraft. The fuselage includes at least one pressurized zone (P) that is separated by at least one airtight wall (18) of at least one other non-pressurized zone (16), the beam and the at least one airtight wall being intersecting. The beam traverses the at least one airtight wall (18) that includes a cutaway that is adapted to the section of the beam, whereby sealing elements (30) are provided to ensure the sealing between the beam and the airtight wall (18) that is traversed.
