  • Publication number: 20200164989
    Abstract: A two-flow jet engine comprising a high-pressure compressor and a drawing system configured to draw air from said jet engine and send it to an air system, and which comprises a pressurized air supply which draws pressurized air from the high-pressure compressor, a pipe which draws outside air, a turbine of which an inlet is connected to the outlet of the pressurized air supply, and a compressor of which an inlet is connected to the pipe, and an outlet is connected to the air system, and where the rotation of the turbine drives the rotation of the compressor. This particular arrangement makes possible an energy gain by virtue of the combined action of the turbine and of the compressor.

  • Patent number: 8800675
    Abstract: A fire extinguisher device for aircraft has a hanger structure and a reservoir of extinguishing agent, the aforementioned reservoir being hung beneath the aforementioned hanger structure by metal fittings held by fasteners to the aforementioned hanger structure. The aforementioned extinguisher wherein the reservoir has means of suspension and the hanger structure has carriers complementary to the means of suspension, the aforementioned means of suspension and the aforementioned carriers being such that when the fasteners are withdrawn, the reservoir is in a position called the “intermediate position,” in which the metal fittings are free and the reservoir is suspended by interaction of the means of suspension and the carriers. The disclosed embodiments also relate to a method for fastening such an extinguishing device.

  • Patent number: 8800917
    Abstract: An aircraft engine pylon aft aerodynamic fairing includes upper spars, transverse stiffening ribs, lower spars and a trailing edge where the upper spars and lower spars join together. In this fairing, a profiled structure is formed according to a profile open to the outside of the fairing. In a first end portion, the profiled structure comes to be enclosed between an end portion of the lower spars and the ends of at least one transverse stiffening ribs flush with the lower spars. This structure extends between the lower spars and the upper spars over a straight central portion inclined relative to the first end portion, and comes in a second end portion flush against a portion of the upper spars, parallel to the first end.

  • Patent number: 8607453
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacture of a group of transverse internal stiffening ribs (46) for an aerodynamic fairing of an engine mounting device, including: production, for each rib (46), of a given rib preform (46a) by superplastic forming; and in respect of at least one of the ribs (46) of the group having a smaller size than that of the preform (46a), division of the latter into four preform parts (56a-56d) each incorporating one of the four corners of the quadrilateral formed by the preform, followed by the joining of the four parts to one another so as to obtain the rib.
