A method for forming a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic acoustic panel may comprise: stacking plies of thermoplastic composite sheets to a first thickness to form a top sheet; stacking plies of thermoplastic composite sheets to a second thickness to form a backskin; staking plies of thermoplastic composite sheets to a third thickness to form a stiffening member; forming the top sheet in a first contour; forming the backskin in a second contour, the second contour being different from the first contour; forming the stiffening member comprising a shape having a plurality of peaks and troughs; bonding the stiffening member to the top sheet and the backskin; and perforating the top sheet.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for configuring a control message in a broadcasting system for supporting a multimedia service based on an internet protocol. To this end, control information to be recorded in a payload of a control message to be configured is generated based on a table selected from among a plurality of tables for defining the information related to the generation and consumption of a hybrid content when a message type of the control message to be configured is determined to be a type for providing information related to the generation and consumption of a hybrid content. In addition, the information related to the type of the selected table is recorded in an optional field of the control message to be configured.

A method may comprise: laying up a first plurality of plies of material comprising thermoplastic resin and fiber to form an inner skin preform, the inner skin preform being a continuous sheet including alternating peaks and valleys; laying up a second plurality of plies of material comprising thermoplastic resin and fiber to form an outer skin preform; and joining the inner skin preform to the outer skin preform.

An aircraft nacelle air intake includes sectors each having a lip forming portion, an outer panel forming portion and an inner panel forming portion. The outer panel forming portions and lip forming portions are formed by a continuous one-piece wall. At at least one junction between two adjacent sectors, an opening and a hatch are provided between the outer panel forming portions of the sectors. The inner panel forming portions and the lip forming portions of the sectors are edge to edge and fixed to each other by fixing devices accessible from the inside of the sectors and invisible from outside of the sectors. A maintenance method in which, when a zone of a sector is damaged, the sector concerned is removed as a whole and is replaced by a new of “recycled” sector is also described.

An engine pylon of an aircraft having a rear portion, two rear cowls around the rear portion, each rear cowl having an upper fixed cowl and a lower movable cowl mounted articulated on the rear portion, wherein in the closed position the two lower movable cowls are moved close to one another, such that their lower edges are contiguous, wherein in the open position the two lower movable cowls are tilted such that their lower edges are moved away from one another, for each lower movable cowl, a hinge system fixed between the lower movable cowl and the rear portion, and at least one locking system which locks the two lower movable cowls to one another in the closed position. The presence of the lower movable cowls ensures, among other things, easy access to the interior of the engine pylon.

A turbofan propulsion assembly includes a thrust reverser with movable flaps. The propulsion assembly further includes an engine and a nacelle surrounding the engine, and the nacelle includes a thrust reverser with sliding cowls and thrust reverser flaps, and an inner structure. The portion of the inner structure positioned perpendicular to the thrust reverser flaps includes two halves that can open toward the exterior of the nacelle cowls.
