An assembly for an aircraft turbojet engine is described. The assembly includes a central gas-exhaust element and a connecting flange interposed between, upstream, a metallic outlet of a turbojet engine and, downstream, the central element. The connecting flange consists of an annular part and flexible lugs having axially: a first end where the lug is connected to the annular part, and a second free end, projecting radially outwards from the first end and towards which the lug is fixed with the central element.

Internal structure of a primary exhaust duct having a separator of which the geometry varies depending on the temperature

An internal structure of a primary exhaust duct of a turbomachine, which has a primary wall allowing air to pass through orifices and forming an internal surface of the primary exhaust duct, an interior skin arranged inside the primary wall, and at least one separator of which a first edge region is attached to the interior skin and which has two geometries. A change from the first geometry to the second takes place when the temperature of the separator exceeds a first temperature, and the change from the second to the first takes place when the temperature of the separator drops below a second temperature. The coefficient of expansion of the separator is greater than that of the interior skin. The variation in the geometry of the separators depending on the temperature of the engine eases assembly at ambient temperature due to the compression of the separators.

VARIABLE MIXING NOZZLE DESIGN FOR JET NOISE REDUCTION
20220380060 · 2022-12-01 ·

An engine exhaust nozzle for a jet engine offers a controllable variable mixing of engine exhaust and the surrounding airflow. The engine exhaust nozzle includes a nozzle, slots at the downstream end of the nozzle, curved vanes extending radially inward from the inner surface of the nozzle and adjacent to the slots, and a cover connected to the outside of the nozzle and movable with respect to the nozzle so as to open and close the slots. When the slots are opened, near-field mixing is enhanced between the jet exhaust and the surrounding air, thus reducing mixing further downstream and the noise associated therewith, thus reducing the overall noise transmitted to the ground. When the slots are closed, the nozzle propulsive efficiency improves at the expense of increased noise.
