A turbofan engine may comprise an inlet and a fan case coupled to the inlet. An engine case may be coupled to the fan case via a vane extending between the fan case and the engine case. A strut apparatus may extend from the fan case and limit deflection of the fan case. The strut apparatus may comprise a first end proximate the fan case, and a second end coupled to at least one of the engine case or a structure for mounting the turbofan engine to an aircraft.

In order to reduce the mass of a primary structure of a mounting pylon for an engine of an aircraft, the mounting pylon includes a box and a rear sub-structure fastened to the box which includes two lateral panels, each equipped at its rear end with a first linking portion through which passes a first connection orifice that is designed to receive a connection pin of a lateral front wing attachment. The rear sub-structure is made in one piece and includes two opposite lateral flanks that are respectively fastened to the two lateral panels of the box by fastening elements. Each lateral flank has a second linking portion through which passes a second connection orifice that is aligned with the first connection orifice, and is also designed to receive the connection pin of the lateral front wing attachment.

A hydraulic torque compensation device comprises a pair of housings, a first housing including a first high pressure liquid chamber and a second low pressure liquid chambers, a second housing having a third high pressure liquid chamber, a fourth accumulator chamber, and a fifth low pressure chamber that is defined by a wall and an end of the second housing. A first main duct links the first chamber of the first housing to the third chamber of the second housing. A second main duct links the second chamber of the first housing to the fifth chamber of the second housing. Each housing also include a piston, the first chamber between a first piston body and an end of the first housing and the third chamber between a second piston body and the wall. The device ensures a counter action to engine loads when a positive torque is applied.

An aircraft engine assembly including a set of rear engine attachments comprising a first shackle hinged on a bracket secured to the engine and on a bracket made as one piece with one of the two side panels, the shackle being oriented along a vertical direction, a second shackle hinged on a bracket secured to the engine and on a bracket made as one piece with the other one of the two side panels, the second shackle being oriented along the vertical direction, and a third shackle for transversally transmitting loads, inclined relative to the vertical direction and hinged on a bracket secured to the engine and on a bracket secured to the primary structure.

Aft-mounting systems, devices, and methods for turboprop and turboshaft engines include two or more coupling elements 201, 211, 221 that are configured to couple an aft portion of an engine of an aircraft to a support structure of the aircraft. The two or more coupling elements are together configured to react forces generated in a vertical direction and in a lateral direction transverse to the engine but allow substantially unrestricted rotation of the engine with respect to the support structure about an axis of rotation of the engine.

During a cruise mode, a cruise-only propeller provides thrust using power from a first power source. During a hovering mode and a transitional mode, the propeller provides no thrust. The first power source includes an internal combustion engine; a second power source includes a high discharge rate battery and a high energy battery. The propeller is electrically connected to the first power source and is electrically disconnected from the second power source. During the hovering mode and the transitional mode, a hover-and-transition-only tiltrotor provides thrust using power from the second power source. During a vertical landing, the tiltrotor switches power sources from the high energy battery to the high discharge rate battery, independent of current draw. The tiltrotor is electrically disconnected from the first power source and is electrically connected to the second power source. During the cruise mode, the tiltrotor provides no thrust.

The present disclosure provides a podded engine adaptor configured to secure a podded engine to an aircraft, comprising: an airframe mounting interface configured for attachment to an airframe of an aircraft; an engine mounting interface configured for attachment to an engine; wherein the podded engine adaptor is configured to be attached to an engine at the engine mounting interface and to an airframe of the aircraft at the airframe mounting interface, so as to indirectly couple an engine to the aircraft via the podded engine adaptor.

A propulsion assembly for an aircraft having a chassis in the form of a cage with bars, a turbine, a dihydrogen supply pipe winding inside a nacelle as far as the rear of the turbine, with a radial step towards the outside of the nacelle, a rail with a radial step towards the outside of the nacelle, a bypass pipe connected between the two radial steps outside the nacelle, and a protection plate fastened to the bars, and an absorber between the protection plate and the related bar.

An aircraft assembly including: a first aircraft structure, a second aircraft structure, first and second tension bolts arranged to suspend the first aircraft structure below the second aircraft structure, the first and second tension bolts connected to the first aircraft structure such that an end of each of the tension bolts is accessible from respective outer surfaces of the first aircraft structure and first and second fail-safe mechanisms each associated with a respective one of the first and second tension bolts and arranged to suspend the first aircraft structure below the second aircraft structure responsive to failure of the respective tension bolt.

An assembly of a pylon and of an engine with a rear engine attachment having two fittings, wherein each one has a shoe fastened to a lower spar of the pylon, two transverse arms, one front and one rear, which are as one with the shoe and offset such that the front transverse arm, respectively rear transverse arm, of one fitting bears in planar fashion against the front transverse arm, respectively rear transverse arm, of the other fitting, wherein each transverse arm is pierced with a bore, wherein the two front transverse arms and the two rear transverse arms are spaced apart parallel to the longitudinal direction and thus form a female clevis, and wherein the assembly also has a lower rod mounted articulated in the female clevis and on the engine. With such an assembly, the number of components is reduced.
