To bring a pylon box of an aircraft engine attachment pylon as close as possible to a wing box, two lateral front fasteners are provided. Each of the fasteners comprises a clevis secured to the wing box, the clevis comprising two webs, at least one of which passes through an upper spar of the box, the upper part of one of the two opposite lateral flanges of a lower transverse rib of the box reinforcement, the upper part of an associated lateral panel, and a pin system passing through the clevis and the two upper parts.

A primary structure of an aircraft power plant support pylon is disclosed having a bottom stringer and two lateral walls formed in a single piece or welded so as to form a U-shaped bottom part, and a top cover which closes the U-shaped bottom part. The U-shaped part closed by a cover makes it possible to construct a box or box structure that exhibits a rigidity suitable for taking up the forces deriving from the power plant and makes it possible to limit the number of ribs (C1 . . . C10) in the structure.

A primary support strut structure and a method of manufacturing thereof for an aircraft power plant is disclosed having a first half-shell including a first free edge, and a second half-shell having a second free edge. The first half-shell and the second half-shell are assembled together by joining the first free edge and the second free edge so as to form a box-shaped structure. The two half-shell construction results in very rigid box structure, and a reduced number of ribs in the primary structure.

An aircraft engine pylon having an upper fitting, an upper panel located below the upper fitting, a shear pin at least partially coupling the upper fitting and the upper panel, and tension fasteners at least partially coupling the upper fitting and the upper panel with the shear pin defining a shear force load path and the tension fasteners defining tension force load paths.

A method for assembling a primary structure of an aircraft pylon, includes a step of fixing an angle bracket to each of the first and second lateral panels such as to obtain an L form for each of the first and second lateral panels prior to a placement of said L forms each placed against two sides of each transverse frame. This assembly technique makes it possible to reduce the mounting clearances such that it is unnecessary to fit shims, resulting in a reduction of mounting time and manufacturing costs.

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.

An aircraft has a battery block for supplying the aircraft with energy. The battery block is arrangeable within a battery compartment of the aircraft. The battery compartment is arranged within a volume formed by a fuselage of the aircraft and is accessible from the outside through a receiving opening in the fuselage. The battery block is introducible into the battery compartment through the receiving opening. When the aircraft is used as intended, the receiving opening is arranged on an upwardly facing top side of the fuselage. The battery block is insertable into the battery compartment by the battery block being moved along an introduction axis oriented substantially parallel to the direction of gravitational force. The battery block comprises a handle, which, when the battery block has been inserted properly into the battery compartment, is accessible from outside the aircraft.

A structure for linking and supporting a turbine engine on an aircraft pylon, the structure having a first longitudinal axis intended to extend parallel to a second longitudinal axis of the pylon, the structure including a first axial portion for fastening to the pylon, the first portion having an upper end that defines a substantially horizontal plane of interface with the pylon, and a lower end bearing suspension rods for suspending the turbine engine, which extend in a rear vertical plane; and a second axial portion that is intended to extend forward of the pylon and includes at least one suspension member of the turbine engine in a front vertical plane.

An aircraft defining a longitudinal centerline and extending between a forward end and an aft end is provided. The aircraft comprises a fuselage extending between the forward end of the aircraft and the aft end of the aircraft; a wing assembly extending laterally outwardly with respect to the longitudinal centerline from a portion of the fuselage; an unducted turbofan engine including an unducted fan that defines a plurality of fan wakes; and a pylon fairing that connects the unducted turbofan engine to the wing assembly, the pylon fairing defining a pylon fairing dihedral, wherein the pylon fairing dihedral is in a direction opposite the incoming fan flow swirl and associated sheared profiles of fan wakes upon arrival at the pylon leading edge.

A nacelle mounted above a wing of an aircraft. A support structure on the nacelle above the pylon resists forces in different directions, and includes door supports allowing the door to be opened upwardly. A retaining structure on the pylon below the nacelle resists forces in different directions, and includes a fixed support track and multiple keepers. Each keeper includes a first end which slides within the channel, and a second end which engages a latch on the closed door. A pylon below the nacelle supports the nacelle and an engine in the nacelle above the wing, increases aerodynamic efficiency, and may include a side spar for supporting the engine from the side. A fire seal assembly includes a depressor surface and a fire seal, and the latter does not contact the former until the door is almost closed, so that compression is substantially direct and scrubbing is reduced.
