NACELLE
A nacelle is configured to be coupled to an underside of a wing and forms a clearance space between the nacelle and a leading edge slat of the wing. A portion of an outlet cowling moves longitudinally aft when a reverse thrust configuration is activated and the leading edge slat is deployed toward the nacelle. The outlet cowling also includes another portion located adjacent to the leading edge slat that does not move when the reverse thrust configuration is activated and thus maintains its clearance space from the leading edge slat.
Thrust reverser for turbojet engine
This summary relates to a thrust reverser for a turbojet engine mounted on an engine nacelle pylon, comprising a fixed part, a movable part, coaxial and mounted in translation with respect to the fixed part and sealingly inserted against the fixed part by blocking an air outlet passage in a closed state whereas the air outlet passage is freed up in the extended state, and a single actuating device including a beam, a slider, and a driving device, configured to drive the movable part in translation with respect to the fixed part, wherein the beam comprises a stop taking the form of a protuberance protruding on a radially outer surface of the beam and configured to have a clearance with respect to said engine nacelle pylon.
Nacelle
A nacelle is configured to be coupled to an underside of a wing and forms a clearance space between the nacelle and a leading edge slat of the wing. A portion of an outlet cowling moves longitudinally aft when a reverse thrust configuration is activated and the leading edge slat is deployed toward the nacelle.

ELECTRIC THRUST REVERSER ACTUATION SYSTEM WITH CONTROLLED BRAKE ASSIST
A thrust reverser control system includes a plurality of actuators, an electric motor, an electric brake, and a control. Each actuator is responsive to an actuator input torque to move between a stowed position and a deployed position. The electric motor is coupled to each of the actuators and is configured, upon being energized from a voltage source having a supply voltage magnitude, to supply the actuator input torque to the actuators and further configured to selectively generate regenerative current. The electric brake is coupled to be selectively supplied with the regenerative current and is configured, upon being supplied with the regenerative current, to supply a braking torque that slows movement of the actuators. The control is coupled to the electric brake and is configured, upon the supply voltage magnitude exceeding a predetermined value, to cause the regenerative current to be supplied to the electric brake.
Aircraft gas turbine comprising a thrust-reverser device with cascade elements and an integrated rack and pinion drive
The present invention relates to an aircraft gas turbine comprising a thrust-reverser device that is arranged at the rear area of an engine cowling and that has multiple cascade elements which are distributed at the circumference and which divert a stream, characterized in that the cascade elements are mounted in a displaceable manner, in that on both sides of each cascade element at least one gear rack is formed that can be displaced via a respective cog wheel which is coupled to a driving device, and in that each cascade element is connected to a rear area of the engine cowling via a coupling element for the purpose of displacing the engine cowling in the axial direction.
Engine and thrust reverser actuation system
A thrust reverser actuation system for a jet engine having a turbine engine surrounded by a nacelle to define an annular air flow path between the turbine engine and the nacelle, with a thrust reverser having a movable element to reverse the direction of at least a portion of the air flow along the air flow path, where the thrust reverser actuation system includes a hydraulic actuator configured to be operably coupled to the movable element, and a remote actuator that controls the inhibit function of the hydraulic system.
NACELLE
A nacelle is configured to be coupled to an underside of a wing and forms a clearance space between the nacelle and a leading edge slat of the wing. A portion of an outlet cowling moves longitudinally aft when a reverse thrust configuration is activated and the leading edge slat is deployed toward the nacelle. The outlet cowling also includes another portion located adjacent to the leading edge slat that does not move when the reverse thrust configuration is activated and thus maintains its clearance space from the leading edge slat.
JET ENGINES AND THEIR ARRANGEMENT IN THE REAR SECTION OF AN AIRCRAFT
A jet engine comprises at least three zones including an air intake zone and an exhaust zone. The axis of the air intake zone is not coincident with the axis of the exhaust zone of the engine, the engine as a result, having at least two intersecting axes and being referred to as a multiaxial engine. Therefore, the jet engine has at least two zones with different longitudinal axis orientations: by choosing an axial orientation of the zones of the engine that are more sensitive to a detachment or breakage of elements of the gas generator, it is possible to also choose a direction of the possible paths of these detached elements, to avoid them striking the opposite engine.
Seal for a thrust reverser of a turbojet engine nacelle
The present disclosure relates to a seal for an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle thrust reverser, the seal having body having a cross section with respect to a longitudinal axis of the seal that is substantially circular, and a base which is intended to be mounted in a seal support. The seal is notable in that the base of said seal has apertures spaced from each other.
Multi surface blocker door system and apparatus
A multi-surface blocker door system for a thrust reverser of an aircraft is provided. The system may comprise one or more first blocker doors coupled to the inner fixed structure. The first blocker doors may be configured to obstruct a fan duct area adjacent the engine. The system may also comprise one or more second blocker doors coupled to a translating sleeve. The second blocker doors may be configured to obstruct a fan duct area adjacent to an inlet of the nacelle.
