A radial centrifugal turbomachine with an adjusting device operatively active at the axial inlet of the turbomachine fixed casing, including: an annular member delimiting at least one radially inner passage at the axial inlet, wherein the member front surface and abutment surface of the casing delimit a radial annular passage. An actuator is connected to the member and to move axially and/or rotate according to a predefined angle to vary the radial annular passage and/or passage sections delimited between stator blades of the turbomachine first radial stage. A transmission shaft coaxial with the rotation axis and integral with the member is operatively connected to the actuator. The adjusting device allows adjusting the mass flow rate at the inlet to better adapt the performances of the turbomachine to the loading of the process/cycle and to implement a safety system dedicated to stopping the turbomachine in case of an urgent stop request.

A thrust deflecting device for deflecting a thrust stream is disclosed, which includes a flap system having a plurality of deflecting flaps, each of which is pivotable around its yaw axis, the flap system being situated between parallel control surfaces such as baffle plates which, together with the flap system, form a box structure, which is pivotable around a pivot axis running in the direction of the transverse axis for the purpose of deflecting the thrust stream in the pitch direction, an aircraft engine also being disclosed.

A divergent segment includes a stationary divergent portion and a movable divergent portion suitable for occupying a retracted position and a deployed position. The threaded rod has a head supported by a support secured to the stationary divergent portion in cooperation with a rotary drive for driving the threaded rod in rotation, and a tip suitable for being inserted in a holder sleeve secured to the stationary divergent portion. The threaded rod cooperates with a nut secured to the movable divergent portion so that rotation of the rod causes the movable divergent portion to move. The tip presents an enlargement having at least one groove passing axially therethrough.

The present disclosure relates to a turbojet engine nacelle having an external cowling with an internal wall defining, with an internal fixed structure, an annular flow channel for a secondary airflow and an exhaust nozzle for said secondary airflow.
