Air inflow lip for turbojet nacelle

An air inflow lip of a nacelle for a turbojet of an aircraft, including a cavity defined by a leading edge of the nacelle and by an annular wall, includes an inner wall, an acoustic treatment device, and a pneumatic de-icing device including a de-icing fluid supply device. The inner wall of the air inflow lip includes acoustic boreholes and the pneumatic de-icing device includes a honeycombed de-icing plate mounted inside the cavity on the inner wall of the air inflow lip. Also included are conduits for the circulation of a de-icing fluid and acoustic wells communicating with the acoustic boreholes.

Aircraft nacelles having adjustable chines

Aircraft nacelles having adjustable chines are described. An example apparatus includes a multi-segment chine coupled to a nacelle. The multi-segment chine includes a first segment oriented along a fore-aft direction. The first segment is translatable relative to the nacelle along the fore-aft direction. The multi-segment chine further includes a second segment oriented along the fore-aft direction. The second segment is substantially coplanar with the first segment.

Structural panel with integrated coupler

An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a cowl door movable between a closed position and an open position. The cowl door includes a structural panel and a mount. The structural panel includes an inner skin, an outer skin and a cellular core. The cellular core is connected to and arranged between the inner skin and the outer skin. The mount includes a base and a coupler. The base is connected to and arranged between the inner skin and the outer skin. The coupler projects out from the base.

Turbomachine with serrated-profile flow-splitter nose

A front fan turbomachine includes an annular separating wall having a slat for separating an air flow between a primary flow and a secondary flow, the slat having a leading edge; inlet guide vanes (IGV) for guiding the primary flow and outlet guide vanes (OGV) blades for guiding the secondary flow. The leading edge of the slat has a serrated profile having a succession of teeth and depressions.

Active laminar flow control plenum panel arrangements and installation methods

A panel for an active laminar flow control arrangement may comprise a longitudinal wall and one or more division walls extending from the longitudinal wall and extending between the first end and the second end. The panel may be coupled to a nacelle outer skin via a plurality of adhesive fasteners pre-installed onto an inner surface of the outer skin and onto stiffeners and/or stringers associated with the outer skin.

WINGED TILTROTOR AIRCRAFT

A tandem tiltrotor aircraft in which the tiltrotor assemblies are operably coupled at the forward and aft ends of the fuselage of the aircraft is disclosed. The tiltrotor assemblies are capable of rotating between a vertical lift position and a horizontal flight position. The in-line location of the tiltrotor assemblies allow the aircraft to have the vertical take-off and landing capabilities, and, in combination with the at least one wing, can be used in horizontal flight. The aft rotor assembly can assume a horizontal flight position that places the rotor blades forward of a vertical fin of the aircraft. In another embodiment, a winged triple tiltrotor aircraft is disclosed. In another embodiment, a winged quad tiltrotor aircraft is disclosed.

Nacelle for an aircraft aft fan

An aircraft defines a longitudinal direction and includes a fuselage extending between a forward end and an aft end along the longitudinal direction of the aircraft. An aft engine is mounted to the aft end of the fuselage. The aft engine further includes a nacelle including a forward section. An airflow duct extends at least partially through the nacelle of the aft engine and defines an outlet on the forward section of the nacelle for providing an airflow to the forward section of the nacelle.
