Aircraft engine pylon to wing mounting assembly
Pylon mounting assemblies are provided for mounting an engine (e.g., a turbojet engine) to a wing of an aircraft. The pylon mounting assemblies include an upper pylon connection member, and a lower pylon connection box, wherein the upper pylon connection member and the lower pylon connection box respectively include multiple opposed pairs of connection lobes. At least one pair of the connection lobes includes a pin connection to restrict degrees of freedom thereat along an x-axis and a mutually perpendicular z-axis, while at least one other pair of connection lobes includes a connection rod to restrict degrees of freedom thereat along the z-axis.
Front Fairing Of An Aircraft Pylon Comprising A Mobile Shroud And Aircraft Equipped With Said Front Fairing
A front fairing of a pylon of an aircraft includes a shroud, produced in a single piece, which extends over almost all the surface area of the front fairing and which is configured to occupy a closed position in which a peripheral edge of the shroud and a peripheral edge of the front fairing and/or of the nacelle are contiguous, and an open position in which the peripheral edge of the shroud is, at least partially, separated from the peripheral edge of the front fairing and/or of the nacelle. The front fairing includes at least one locking system to hold the shroud in closed position.
PRIMARY STRUCTURE OF A STRUT FOR BEARING AN AIRCRAFT POWER PLANT, THE REAR PART OF WHICH IS FORMED BY A SET OF CONNECTING RODS
A primary structure of a strut for bearing an aircraft power plant including a front part intended to be joined to an aircraft power plant and a rear part intended to be joined to a structure of the aircraft, the front part being formed from a box including an upper longitudinal member, a lower longitudinal member, and lateral panels. A main rib is located at an interface between the front part and the rear part. The rear part is formed from a set of four connecting rods. The first end of each connecting rod is joined to the front part of the primary structure and the second end of each connecting rod is joined to a separate interface for fastening to the structure of the aircraft. This allows a substantial simplification of the primary structure of a strut for bearing an aircraft power plant, which can have advantages in particular in terms of cost, mass, and simplicity of implementation and integration.
CRADLE FOR A TURBOPROPELLER ENGINE WITH INTEGRATED AIR INLET DUCT
The invention relates to a cradle (10) for an aircraft turbopropeller engine (12) of a substantially axial orientation, comprising a front arch (16) and a rear arch (18) extending transversely relative to said axial direction (A), said arches (16, 18) being open at their lower ends and connected to each other by at least one axial longeron (34) extending between said arches (16, 18), characterised in that the longeron (34) is arranged in an upper portion of the cradle (10) and is formed in a single piece with the front arch (16).
Gas turbine engine
A gas turbine engine comprises, in axial flow sequence, a fan assembly, a compressor module, a turbine module, and an exhaust module. The gas turbine engine comprises first and second engine mount planes. The first and second engine mount planes are configured to support gas turbine engine in machine body. The gas turbine engine has axial length L, with axial length extending from inlet face of engine to exhaust face of engine. The first engine mount plane is positioned axially along gas turbine engine at first engine mount plane position, with first engine mount plane position within a range of between 0.24*L to 0.32*L from the inlet face of the engine. The second engine mount plane is positioned axially along gas turbine engine at second engine mount plane position, with second engine mount plane position within a range of between 0.73*L to 0.79*L from the inlet face of the engine.
Aircraft propulsion assembly comprising a front engine mount which comprises a transverse beam which is partially positioned opposite a front transverse reinforcement of a primary structure of a strut
An aircraft propulsion assembly including a front engine mount including a transverse beam which is connected to the engine via first and second convergent connection rods. This transverse beam includes an upper extension which is at least partially positioned opposite a front transverse reinforcement of the primary structure and which is connected thereto via at least one first connection element and right and left lateral extensions which are positioned at one side and another of the upper extension, each of them being connected via a least one second fixing element to a first wing of a right or left bracket, a second wing of the right or left bracket being connected via at least one third connection element to the primary structure.
ASSEMBLY FOR AN AIRCRAFT COMPRISING A WING AND AN ENGINE PYLON FOR COUPLING A PROPULSION SYSTEM TO SAID WING
An assembly including a wing with a pressure-side panel and a suction-side panel through which two bores pass, an engine pylon including a blade with three bores and two fastening lugs, each of which has a sixth bore, two first shackles fastened between the blade and the suction-side panel, two second shackles fastened between the blade and the suction-side panel and two fittings, which are fastened beneath the pressure-side panel and each have a female clevis for housing a fastening lug therein.
ENGINE BACKBONE BENDING REDUCTION
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An apparatus for mounting a gas turbine engine to a pylon includes: a thrust link coupled to the gas turbine engine and an aft mount, the gas turbine engine coupled to the pylon via a forward mount and the aft mount, a bending restraint having a first end and a second end, the bending restraint including an actuator positioned at the first end to apply a force to a fan section of the gas turbine engine, a first joint positioned at the first end of the bending restraint, the first joint coupled to the first end of the bending restraint and the fan section, and a second joint positioned at the second end of the bending restraint, the second joint coupled to the second end of the bending restraint.
Propulsive assembly for aircraft
A propulsive assembly for aircraft comprising an engine, a nacelle arranged around the engine and a pylon supporting the engine, the nacelle including two engine cowls and reversing cowls, each cowl having an internal skin, characterized in that at least one of the cowls of the nacelle comprises at least one box arranged in a space situated between the internal skin of the cowl and the engine, the box delimiting a volume of inert material, the inert material being flame retardant foam. This box partially blocks a zone of the engine where a fire is likely to begin, which makes it possible to limit the volume of a fire zone of the engine, and thus reduce the quantity of extinguishing agent which is necessary to extinguish a fire in the zone of the engine concerned.
Front engine attachment system for an aircraft engine, which has a compact structure
A front engine attachment system having an engine pylon having a frontal rib fastened against a front face, a front engine attachment having a beam fastened to the frontal rib, two rods articulated to the beam respectively via two connection points and one connection point, and a front casing of an engine, wherein the first rod is articulated to the front casing via a connection point and wherein the second rod is articulated to the front casing via a connection point, wherein each point of connection of a rod to the beam is positioned inside a volume that extends the front face of the engine pylon towards the front. Such a front engine attachment system has reduced bulk and therefore less drag.
