  • Patent number: 10036349
    Abstract: An afterbody for a turbojet engine having a central axis, provided with a nozzle comprising two doors facing each other between two lateral beams. The doors pivot around axes defining a pivot direction, between a retracted position, in which a middle portion of the downstream edge of the doors forms the edge of the outlet section of the nozzle combined with the downstream edges of the two lateral beams, and a deployed position, in which the middle portions of the downstream edges of the pivoting doors come together so as to block the channel between the two lateral beams in order to reverse the thrust of the turbojet engine gases. The edge of the outlet section of the nozzle further having a crown of noise-reducing chevrons alternating with indentations and the afterbody.

  • Patent number: 9593582
    Abstract: A propulsion device including an unducted upstream propeller and a counter-rotating and coaxial downstream propeller. At least one blade of the upstream propeller is configured to generate a corotating secondary vortex for acting upstream of the downstream propeller to destabilize a blade tip vortex of the same at least one blade.

  • Patent number: 9481449
    Abstract: A blade, configured to be mounted on a hub of a turbomachine propeller so that an empty space is defined between a base of the blade and a face of the hub facing the base. The blade includes a retractable blanking mechanism configured to reversibly occupy at least one of following two positions: a deployed position in which the retractable blanking mechanism at least partially closes off the empty space; and an extreme retracted position in which the retractable mechanism is kept out of the empty space.

  • Publication number: 20150113944
    Abstract: A door for a door-type thrust reverser is able to move between a direct jet mode of a nacelle and a reverse jet mode. The door includes an inner wall being integrated into a flow path of an air flow generated by a turbojet engine, an outer wall, at least one side wall connecting the inner wall to the outer wall of the door, and a deflector to deflect the air flow. In particular, the deflector includes a cavity of the door which is shaped to convey a fraction of the air flow from one air inlet rigidly secured to the inner wall of the door to one air outlet rigidly secured to the side wall of the door, so as to redirect, during operation of the nacelle in the reverse jet mode, a part of the air flow upstream from the inner wall of the door.
