An aircraft nacelle including a conduit rigidly connected to an air inlet and a conduit rigidly connected to an engine, a link between the conduit rigidly connected to the air inlet and the conduit rigidly connected to the engine. The link includes a sleeve that receives one end of a first conduit and is rigidly connected to a second conduit, and linking elements that link the sleeve and the first conduit and that are distributed about the entire circumference of the nacelle, each linking element having a threaded stem oriented in a radial direction and being configured to enable tightening from inside the first conduit.

METHOD FOR PREPARING A SUPPORT AND FOR ACOUSTIC MANAGEMENT ON A TURBINE ENGINE OR A NACELLE

The invention relates to acoustic management, on an aircraft turbomachine (3,12) or on a nacelle (1,10), via a panel (30,32). On a support (38) is reserved a recess (34), recessed with respect to a surrounding general surface (36) for contact with moving air. The recess (34) is adapted to receive the panel, as another so-called surface for contact with moving air. The support (38) and/or the panel comprise removable connecting elements for, in the recess (34), mounting it removably with respect to the support, the panel being an acoustic panel or a non-acoustic panel.

ENGINE
20220297847 · 2022-09-22 · ·

An air-breathing turbojet engine for a hypersonic vehicle is shown. The engine comprises a pump for pumping a cryogenic fuel, an inlet configured to compress inlet air by one or more shocks, a cooler to cool the compressed inlet air using the cryogenic fuel, and a turbo-compressor to compress the air further. A precooler cools the compressed inlet air using compressed cooled air from the turbo-compressor. A combustor receives compressed cooled air from the turbo-compressor and a first portion of the cryogenic fuel for combustion. A first turbine expands and is driven by combustion products, and a second turbine expands and is driven by a second portion of the cryogenic fuel. The first turbine and the second turbine drive the turbo-compressor via a shaft. An afterburner receives combustion products from the first turbine and the second portion of the cryogenic fuel from the second turbine for combustion therein.
