AIRCRAFT, AIRCRAFT ENGINE, AND AIRCRAFT ENGINE NACELLE
To surely grasp an unlocked state of a cowl member while suppressing cost and time necessary for measures against forgetting of locking of an engine nacelle. An aircraft according to the present invention includes: an engine (3) that includes an engine main body (4, 5) outputting thrust force and an engine nacelle (7) surrounding the engine main body (4, 5); an engine pylon (2) that supports the engine main body (4, 5) to a main wing (1) and axially supports a cowl member (8) to be openable, the cowl member (8) configuring the engine nacelle (7); a locking part (30) that locks the cowl member (8) of the engine nacelle (7) in a closed state; and one or more light emitting sections (15) that are disposed inside the cowl member (8) and show an unlocked state of the cowl member (8).
Cell structure and acoustic attenuation device for a nacelle of an aircraft propulsion assembly
The present disclosure relates to a cell structure for an acoustic attenuation device for a nacelle of an aircraft propulsion assembly. This cell structure includes lateral partitions forming channels that each extend between a first end and a second end and skin elements arranged so that each channel is at least partly closed at the first end thereof by at least one skin element. Each skin element is connected to a respective lateral partition and can move relative to the other lateral partitions. A continuous skin can be assembled on this cell structure so as to at least partly close the channels at the second end thereof and to thus form an acoustic attenuation device.

Lift nacelle
A lift nacelle may comprise an airflow generator; a sidewall system coupled to the airflow generator and spanning in a first direction, wherein the sidewall system defines a nacelle interior space, wherein the airflow generator defines one of a forward boundary or an aft boundary of the nacelle interior space; and a lift body disposed in the nacelle interior space and spanning substantially perpendicular to the first direction and substantially perpendicular to an upward lift direction. The airflow generator may be configured to accelerate airflow in an aft direction into the nacelle interior space through the forward boundary of the nacelle interior space. The airflow may contact and/or interact with the lift body creating lift in response.

Methods and apparatus for passive thrust vectoring and plume deflection
A flow vectoring turbofan engine employs a fixed geometry fan sleeve and core cowl forming a nozzle incorporating an asymmetric convergent/divergent (con-di) and/or curvature section which varies angularly from a midplane for reduced pressure in a first operating condition to induce flow turning and axially symmetric equal pressure in a second operating condition for substantially axial flow.

AIR INTAKE OF AN AIRCRAFT TURBINE ENGINE NACELLE
Disclosed is an air intake of an aircraft turbine engine nacelle having a lip, a downstream portion and an internal partition separating the lip and the downstream portion, the lip delimiting an annular recess, the downstream portion having a downstream inner wall and a downstream outer wall, the air intake having an injection channel for injecting a hot air stream into the annular recess, a passage opening formed in the internal partition, an outlet opening formed in the downstream outer wall and a discharge channel for discharging the hot air stream mounted in the downstream portion and having a first end connected to the internal partition, a second end connected to the downstream outer wall and a main body having at least one flexible portion.
Pylon with noise attenuating fairing
A pylon is provided for connecting a propulsion system to an aircraft. The pylon includes a structure configured to structurally tie the propulsion system to the aircraft. The pylon also includes a pylon fairing configured to house and provide an aerodynamic cover for the structure. A lower aft fairing segment of the pylon fairing includes a plurality of apertures. The apertures are fluidly coupled with a sealed, sound attenuating chamber within the pylon.
