  • Publication number: 20070039327
    Abstract: A support arm (13) is intended to be installed in a radial position in an afterburner device of a bypass turbojet. The device comprises first and second inner annular casings defining a passage for a primary flow and an outer annular casing defining together with the first inner annular casing a passage for a secondary flow. The arm (13) comprises a monobloc structure made of composite material including two integral walls (14, 15), on the one hand, designed to define a groove (16) having a substantially V-shaped profile and, on the other hand, including first end parts (17) joined together and adapted to define a foot (18) and second end parts (19) adapted each to define at least one flange (20, 21) intended to be positively connected to the outer annular casing.

  • Patent number: 6964169
    Abstract: The invention proposes a long life nozzle flap for aircraft turbojets. This flap is remarkable in that it is composed of a hollow tapered body (10) flattened in the transverse direction along straight geometric generating lines (11), the body (10) forming a thin wall (12) with an approximately constant thickness E, this wall (12) comprising a continuous inner surface with a radius of curvature equal to at least 2×E, the wall (12) being made of a refractory composite material composed of reinforcing fibers (18) embedded in a matrix also made from a refractory material, the reinforcing fibers (18) being arranged in a plurality of continuous layers of fibers (18) stacked on each other, the fibers (18a) of a layer crossing the fibers (18b) of any adjacent layer.
