A nacelle for a gas turbine engine having a longitudinal centre line. The nacelle includes an air intake disposed at an upstream end of the nacelle. The air intake includes, in flow series, an intake lip, a throat and a diffuser. The nacelle further includes a protrusion extending radially inward from the air intake downstream of the intake lip. The protrusion extends circumferentially by a protrusion angle (θ.sub.p) with respect to the longitudinal centre line of the gas turbine engine.

A method for manufacturing a cellular structure having first and second faces, rows of cells each alternatingly having first cells, which are open in the direction of the first face, second cells, which are open in the direction of the second face, and also third cells formed between each row of cells, each row of cells comprising first and second strips of material placed against one another. The first and second strips of material are shaped by bending. By contrast to plastic deformation, shaping by bending makes it possible to expand the choice of materials and thicknesses for the first and second strips of material. An advantageous cellular structure is thus obtained as well as an acoustic absorption coating comprising such a cellular structure.

An acoustic absorption structure includes: at least one acoustic element which has at least one cavity delimited by at least one enclosure comprising at least one first drainage orifice passing through the enclosure, and a rotational indexing system making it possible to position the acoustic element so that at least one first drainage orifice is positioned in proximity to or at a lowest point of the cavity. An aircraft propulsion assembly including such an acoustic absorption structure is also described.

A rotorcraft having an aerodynamic device arranged below a rotor, which rotor participates at least in providing lift for the rotorcraft in the air, the rotor being mounted to rotate about a first axis of rotation, the aerodynamic device having a fairing provided with at least one air inlet for enabling a stream of cool air to flow from a region that is situated outside the rotorcraft to another region that is situated inside the rotorcraft; at least at a mouth of the at least one air inlet in the fairing, the aerodynamic device has at least one moving flap that is mounted to move in rotation, the at least one moving flap having at least one degree of freedom of movement in rotation about a second axis of rotation relative to the fairing, and the at least one moving flap orienting itself automatically and passively.

A method for repairing a turbomachine air intake lip including a damaged area whose shape differs from the initial shape of the lip, includes identifying the damage; depositing a filler material on the damaged area so as to give it a shape identical to the initial shape; inspecting the shape of the lip; and inspecting the performed repair.

A nacelle forward part of an aircraft propulsion assembly, includes an air inlet lip at the front end, an internal structure and an external panel extending the lip, and an annular stiffening frame formed around an axis of revolution and comprising an internal peripheral edge linked to the internal structure and an external peripheral edge linked to the external panel. The stiffening frame presents an inclination relative to the axis of revolution, its slope being oriented towards the front end of the nacelle forward part. The stiffening frame is configured to deviate, outside the nacelle of the propulsion assembly, an object striking the stiffening frame. The stiffening frame so configured is capable of withstanding the impacts of objects without breaking while enabling the object striking the stiffening frame to be deviated towards the exterior of the nacelle.

A vehicle, includes a main body. A fluid generator is coupled to the main body and produces a fluid stream. At least one fore conduit and at least one tail conduit are fluidly coupled to the generator. First and second fore ejectors are fluidly coupled to the fore conduit, coupled to the main body and respectively coupled to a starboard side and port side of the vehicle. The fore ejectors respectively comprise an outlet structure out of which fluid flows. At least one tail ejector is fluidly coupled to the tail conduit. The tail ejector comprises an outlet structure out of which fluid flows. A primary airfoil element is coupled to the tail portion. A surface of the primary airfoil element is located directly downstream of the first and second fore ejectors such that the fluid from the first and second fore ejectors flows over the such surface.
