Propulsion assembly for an aircraft, comprising a load support
A propulsion assembly having a pylon, a turbomachine comprising an engine and a fan that is enclosed by a fan casing, a nacelle surrounding the engine and the fan casing and having a load support disposed in the top part of the nacelle, a front engine attachment between the pylon and a front part of the engine, a rear engine attachment between the pylon and a rear part of the engine, a front fan attachment between the fan casing and the load support, and a rear pylon attachment between the pylon and the load support. Such a propulsion assembly allows a reduction in bulk since the load of the turbojet engine is distributed between the load support and the pylon, and the pylon is attached to the engine.
Assembly including two links and an interleaved stiffener, aircraft engine attachment including at least one such assembly
An assembly including a connecting device, connecting first and second parts, including first and second links positioned on respective opposite sides of the first and second parts and an interleaved stiffener, positioned between the first and second links, having a first contact face oriented toward the first link and a second contact face oriented toward the second link, parallel to the first face, the first and second contact faces being separated by a distance equal to that separating the first and second links. This interleaved stiffener makes it possible to limit the risks of bending of the links when they are loaded in compression.
ASSEMBLY BETWEEN AN AIRCRAFT PYLON AND A TURBOMACHINE
The invention relates to an assembly between an aircraft pylon (30) and a turbomachine (20) of longitudinal axis (X), the pylon (30) and the turbomachine (20) each comprising front and rear longitudinal regions, the assembly comprising a rear support (40) configured to connect the rear region of the turbomachine (20) to the rear region of the pylon (30), the assembly being characterized in that the rear support (40) comprises a sliding pivot connection arranged between the rear region of the turbomachine (20) and the rear region of the pylon (30), so as to allow the turbomachine (20) only translational and rotational movements along and about the longitudinal axis (X) and along and about a vertical axis (Z) and a rotational movement about a transverse axis (Y).
Thrust load reaction assembly
An assembly for reacting a thrust load from an engine, the assembly comprising a frame, a pin, an evener bar, and left and right thrust links. The frame includes an upper pin interface and a lower pin interface. The pin extends through the upper pin interface and the lower pin interface and includes an upper end and a lower end. The evener bar engages the lower end of the pin below the lower pin interface and connects the left and right thrust links to the pin. The pin is configured to react the thrust load at the lower pin interface and the upper pin interface thereby forming a distributed force couple between the lower pin interface and the upper pin interface.
Methods and apparatus for gas turbine bending isolation
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to methods and apparatus for gas turbine bending isolation. An example mechanical interface to couple a first section of a gas turbine to a second section of the gas turbine, the mechanical interface comprising a first mating surface disposed on the first section, and a second mating surface disposed on the second section and circumferentially around the first mating surface, wherein the coupling of the first mating surface to the second mating surface enables the first section to rotate about the mechanical interface during operation of the gas turbine.
Aircraft propulsion assembly
A propulsion assembly for an aircraft, comprising a pylon to be secured below a wing of the aircraft and having a front face and a lower face, and a turbomachine comprising, from upstream to downstream in a direction of a flow of air passing through the turbomachine during operation, a fan and an engine driving the fan. The fan is faired by a fan casing and the engine is faired, from upstream to downstream, by an intermediate casing and an engine casing, the intermediate casing having a hub and an outer ring extending the fan casing, the ring being spaced apart radially from the hub and secured to the latter by arms extending in an air duct. The propulsion assembly comprises a front engine attachment secured between the pylon front face and the hub and a rear engine attachment secured between the pylon lower face and the engine casing.
Engine mount system and elements for reduced force transmission and reduced static motion and associated methods
Compliant mounting systems, devices, and methods for mounting a vehicle engine to a vehicle structure or base include a top mount, a lower mount, a center trunnion mount, and an aft mount which are configured to react forces transmitted by the engine to the vehicle structure. Metallic and elastomeric elements can provide vibrational and force isolation characteristics. Stops (e.g., snubbing elements) allow for a specific range of motion before internal mount structures contact each other to act as a conventional hard mount. Fluid elements and compressible gas-filled spaces/bladders may be incorporated to provide fluid damping behaviors to complement the metallic and elastomeric elements.
Front engine attachment system for an aircraft engine, having a beam made in two parts
A front engine attachment system for an engine of an aircraft. The front engine attachment system has an engine pylon having, in its front part, a frontal part having an attachment wall with a front face, and a front engine attachment having a beam fastened to the front face and to which a link-rod system is fastened on either side of a median plane. The beam is made up of a front plate and a rear plate that are fastened together in a removable manner. The rear plate is pressed against the front face. The front plate is disposed in front of the rear plate. Each link-rod system is fastened to the rear plate in an articulated manner by at least one first connection point and is configured to be fastened to a front part of the engine in an articulated manner by at least one second connection point.
Aircraft engine attachment comprising at least one system for immobilizing a shear pin in translation comprising a stop plate, method for mounting said engine attachment and aircraft comprising said engine attachment
An aircraft engine attachment connecting an attachment body and a primary structure of an aircraft pylon, the engine attachment comprising a shear pin immobilized in translation by a first immobilization system that comprises a shoulder and a removable stop that are integral with the primary structure, between which a flange of the shear pin is immobilized, and a second immobilization system that comprises a stop plate, connected by at least one removable link to the primary structure, which closes the first hole, at least in part.
Rear engine attachment of an aircraft having two-part rods and aircraft comprising at least one such rear engine attachment
An aircraft rear engine attachment connecting a primary structure of a pylon and an engine of an aircraft. The rear engine attachment includes first and second rods, each of them including at least two parts, a first part including at least one support orifice, accommodating a support link bar, configured to connect the rod directly or indirectly to the primary structure, at least one second part including at least one engine orifice, accommodating an engine link bar, configured to connect the rod directly or indirectly to the engine, and also detachable link elements for connecting the first and second parts oriented parallel to the direction of the rod.
