TURBOFAN ENGINE COMPRISING A SYSTEM FOR BLOCKING THE FLOW PATH OF THE BYPASS STREAM COMPRISING VEILS
20220228541 · 2022-07-21 ·

A turbofan engine with a nacelle and a flow path, in which the nacelle comprises a movable cowl that makes it possible to define a window between the flow path and the outside, veils with a first edge fixed to the movable cowl and alternately assuming a folded position or a deployed position across the flow path, and a pneumatic system displacing a second edge of the veils from the folded position to the deployed position and vice versa. The pneumatic system comprises a rigid main roll, for each veil, at least one extendable secondary roll fixed to a second edge of the veil, and a pressurization and depressurization system which, alternately, generates a pressure or a depression in each secondary roll. Replacing the reverse doors and their driving mechanisms with flexible veils and a pneumatic system allows for a weight reduction.

An aft cascade ring includes a first ring portion having a first arc shape and defining a first portion first lug. The aft cascade ring further includes a second ring portion having a second arc shape and defining a second portion first lug, the second ring portion being coupled to the first ring portion such that the first portion first lug and the second portion first lug are aligned.

THRUST REVERSER CASCADE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
20220195961 · 2022-06-23 · ·

A thrust reverser cascade of an aircraft engine comprises a frame and a vane overmolded onto the frame. The frame and the vane each comprise reinforcement fibers in a thermoplastic matrix. A method is disclosed for manufacturing the thrust reverser cascade or another part comprising an aerodynamic surface configured to interact with a flow of fluid. The method comprises providing a first portion of the part and overmolding a second portion of the part onto the first portion where the second portion includes the aerodynamic surface.

TURBOJET ENGINE COMPRISING A NACELLE WITH AN AIR INTAKE TO PROMOTE A REVERSED THRUST PHASE

An aircraft turbojet engine extending along an X axis and comprising a blower configured to provide a reverse thrust and a nacelle comprising an air intake which comprises at least one deflection member movably mounted between a deployed position in which the deflection member projects from the inner wall or from the lip of the air intake in a radially inward direction of deployment facing the X axis or in a longitudinal direction of deployment with respect to the X axis, in order to allow a release of the reverse air flow from the inner wall to support the reverse thrust phase, and a retracted position in which the air intake has an aerodynamic profile so as to guide the internal air flow along the inner wall in order to support the thrust phase.

MIXED FLOW EXHAUST THRUST REVERSER WITH AREA CONTROL NOZZLE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
20230272760 · 2023-08-31 · ·

An articulating exhaust nozzle thrust reverser includes an outer articulating panel comprising an outer skin and an outer thrust reverser door and an inner articulating panel comprising a forward inner skin, an aft inner skin, and an inner thrust reverser door. The outer articulating panel is configured to pivot to vary a nozzle exit area. The forward inner skin is configured to pivot to vary a nozzle throat area. The outer thrust reverser door is pivotally coupled to the outer skin. The inner thrust reverser door is pivotally coupled to the aft inner skin. The outer articulating panel and the inner articulating panel may be individually operated to independently vary the exhaust nozzle throat area and/or the exhaust nozzle exit area.

Aircraft with electric propulsor

A propulsor includes an electric motor, a fan unit, and a thrust system positioned downstream of and coupled to the fan unit. The electric motor converts electrical power to mechanical rotation to rotationally drive the fan unit and create an air stream directed towards the thrust control system.
