AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM NOZZLE WITH INTERNAL FLOW PASSAGE
An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a nozzle extending axially along and circumferentially about an axial centerline. The nozzle includes a nozzle panel and a nozzle fairing fixedly connected to the nozzle panel at an axial end of the nozzle. The nozzle is configured with an internal flow passage radially between the nozzle panel and the nozzle fairing. The internal flow passage extends axially within the nozzle to an outlet between the nozzle panel and the nozzle fairing at the axial end of the nozzle.

Aircraft propulsion system exhaust nozzle with ejector passage(s)
An apparatus is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This apparatus includes an exhaust nozzle. The exhaust nozzle includes a flowpath, a passage, an outer door, an inner door and an actuator configured to move the outer door and the inner door between an open arrangement and a closed arrangement. The flowpath extends axially along a centerline through the exhaust nozzle. The passage extends laterally into the exhaust nozzle to the flowpath when the outer door and the inner door are in the open arrangement. The outer door is configured to pivot inwards towards the centerline when the outer door moves from the closed arrangement to the open arrangement. The inner door is configured to pivot outwards away from the centerline when the inner door moves from the closed arrangement to the open arrangement.

VARIABLE GEOMETRY THRUSTER
A propulsion system coupled to a vehicle. The system includes a diffusing structure and a conduit portion configured to introduce to the diffusing structure through a passage a primary fluid produced by the vehicle. The passage is defined by a wall, and the diffusing structure comprises a terminal end configured to provide egress from the system for the introduced primary fluid. A constricting element is disposed adjacent the wall. An actuating apparatus is coupled to the constricting element and is configured to urge the constricting element toward the wall, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of the passage.
Internal structure for a turbomachine nacelle
Internal structure for a turbomachine nacelle, the internal structure being intended to surround at least one part of a compartment capable of receiving a gas generator of the turbomachine, the internal structure comprising a ventilation cavity of said compartment, the ventilation cavity being provided with a main ventilation outlet and an auxiliary ventilation outlet separate to the main ventilation outlet, the internal structure comprising a shut-off member movable relative to the ventilation cavity between a flow position and a shut-off position in which the shut-off member shuts off the auxiliary ventilation outlet to a greater extent than in the flow position.

Rotatably driven exhaust mixer
There is provided an exhaust mixer arrangement for a turbofan engine having a bypass passage for channelling a bypass flow and a core passage for channelling a core flow around a central axis. The exhaust mixer arrangement comprises a mixer body mounted for rotation about the central axis. The mixer body has an annular wall extending around the central axis. The annular wall defines a plurality of circumferentially distributed alternating inner and outer lobes, with each inner lobe protruding into the core passage, and each outer lobe protruding into the annular bypass passage. A driving unit is operatively connected to the mixer body for selectively driving the mixer body in rotation about the central axis. A controller is operatively connected to the driving unit for controlling a rotational speed of the mixer body as a function of a flight operating condition.
CONVERGENT-DIVERGENT FLAP PAIR FOR A VARIABLE-GEOMETRY TURBOJET ENGINE NOZZLE COMPRISING COOLING AIR CIRCULATION DUCTS CONNECTED THROUGH CONTACT SURFACES
In a convergent-divergent flap pair for a turbojet engine nozzle of the variable-geometry convergent-divergent type, the convergent flap and the divergent flap include respective cooling-air ducts connected to one another through air passage openings formed in respective contact surfaces of the convergent flap and of the divergent flap arranged facing one another.
