MODULE ENSURING AN ATTENUATION OF SOUND WAVES AND A HEAT EXCHANGE
A module ensuring an acoustic attenuation of a flow of a first fluid and a heat exchange between the first fluid and a second fluid. The module comprises a perforated first wall with a cutout, a second wall, a cellular structure extending from the second wall to the first wall, a recess provided in the cellular structure between a perforated bottom and a perforated top, and a heat exchanger which is fixed inside the recess between the bottom and the top and in which the second fluid circulates. Such a module ensures an attenuation of sound waves and a heat exchange without limiting the attenuation surface.
AIRCRAFT NACELLE INLET
An aircraft nacelle air inlet comprising: a lip skin defining a curved surface of the inlet, the curved surface extending about a longitudinal axis of the inlet; a forward bulkhead; an inner barrel having a radially inner surface defining a surface of the inlet, a radially outer surface, and a sound attenuating layer arranged between the radially inner and radially outer surfaces; and a joining frame fixed to the lip skin and/or to the forward bulkhead. A first portion of the joining frame extends over at least a portion of the sound attenuating layer of the inner barrel and is fixed to the radially outer surface of the inner barrel.
SOUND ABSORBERS FOR AIRFRAME COMPONENTS
Sound absorbers and airframe components comprising such sound absorbers are disclosed. In one embodiment, an airframe component comprises an aerodynamic surface (48) and a sound absorber (38). The sound absorber (38) comprises a perforated panel (40) having a front side exposed to an ambient environment outside of the airframe component and an opposite back side. The panel (40) comprises perforations extending through a thickness of the panel for permitting passage of sound waves therethrough. The sound absorber (38) also comprises a boundary surface spaced apart from the perforated panel. The boundary surface and the back side of the perforated panel (40) at least partially define a cavity in the airframe component for attenuating some of the sound waves entering the cavity via the perforations in the perforated panel (40).
Acoustic panel for a nacelle of an aircraft propulsion unit, and related manufacturing methods
An acoustic panel with a cellular core includes cells that are provided with one or more obstacles, each of the obstacles extending transversely in relation to the main axis of the associated cell so as to increase the length of the path (F) that sound waves travel through the cell. Methods enabling the production of such a panel implements steps of cutting, folding and bonding that are suitable for creating cells provided with such obstacles.
Sound-absorbing panel with a cellular core and a de-icing system
A sound-absorbing panel includes: an inner skin traversed by holes and intended to be oriented towards a channel in which a fluid flows, a heating mat formed by strips fixed to the inner skin on the side opposite to the channel and oriented in a first direction, wherein two adjacent strips are distant from each other in order to define a slot between them, a base fixed to the strips on the side opposite to the inner skin, wherein the base includes, on the strips side, grooves extending in a second direction different from the first direction and wherein the base has, between two successive grooves, a rib, a cellular core fixed to the base on the side opposite to the strips, and an outer panel fixed to the cellular core on the side opposite to the base.
Propulsion system for an aircraft
An aircraft propulsion system includes an engine. The propulsion system further includes an inlet having a forward cowl lip and an aft cowl lip. The forward cowl lip moves between retracted and deployed positions. The forward cowl lip is adjacent to the aft cowl lip when retracted. The forward cowl lip is spaced apart from the aft cowl lip when deployed. The forward cowl lip has a smaller radius of curvature than the aft cowl lip. The propulsion system further includes a controller coupled with the engine and inlet. The controller restricts the maximum thrust commanded position of the engine when the aircraft is on the ground and moving below a predetermined speed. The controller lifts the restriction when the aircraft is moving at at least the predetermined speed. The controller controls the inlet to deploy the cowl lip when the aircraft is on the ground.
STRUCTURAL PANEL WITH WOVEN ELEMENT CORE
A structural panel includes a first skin, a second skin and a core. The core is connected to the first skin and the second skin. The core includes a corrugated sheet of wire mesh that includes a plurality of corrugations. Each of the corrugations extends vertically between and engages the first skin and the second skin.
Nacelle of an aircraft propulsion assembly comprising a plurality of damper elements between a front section and a main section, and associated aircraft propulsion assembly
A nacelle of an aircraft propulsion assembly includes a front section and a main section. The nacelle also includes a junction flange between the front section and the main section including a plurality of deformable damper elements distributed along the inner peripheral edge of a stiffening frame of the nacelle. The damper element allows significant stresses to be absorbed between the engine flange and the stiffening frame. This configuration is particularly adapted to large nacelles. An aircraft propulsion assembly including such a nacelle is also described.
Turbine engine acoustic panel with outer flange case mounting
A gas turbine engine includes a fan case assembly adapted to extend around blades of a fan rotor included in the gas turbine engine. The fan case assembly includes an annular case that extends around an axis, an acoustic panel coupled to the annular case and configured to dampen vibrations and a bolting arrangement that couples the acoustic panel to the annular case.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN ACOUSTIC TREATMENT PANEL AND ACOUSTIC TREATMENT PANEL OBTAINED BY SAID METHOD
A method of manufacturing an acoustic treatment panel including at least one cellular structure with at least one anchor layer at the level of at least one of its faces. The anchor layer includes at least one adhesive sheet chosen from an adhesive film or a ply of pre-impregnated adhesive fibers in contact with the cellular structure. The method of manufacture includes, before the integration of the cellular structure in an acoustic treatment panel, a step of placing the anchor layer on a support, the adhesive sheet being the last to be placed, a step of placing the cellular structure on the anchor layer in contact against the adhesive sheet, and then a step of polymerization of the anchor layer and of the cellular structure.
