NACELLE FOR AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A FLAP FOR CLOSING A RECESS FOR THE PASSAGE OF AN ACTUATOR
A nacelle for an aircraft propulsion assembly includes an actuator, a secondary door subject to the actuator and contributing to defining an external aerodynamic surface of the nacelle in a first position, a main door contributing to defining the external aerodynamic surface and including a recess that the actuator passes through in a deployed position but not in a retracted position, and a flap connected to the main door. The flap is movable between a closed position wherein the flap closes off at least a first region of the recess through which the actuator passes in the deployed position whereby the flap contributes to defining the external aerodynamic surface, and an open position wherein the flap is moved away from the recess so as to clear the passage for the actuator through the first region of the recess.
Aerodynamic feature for aft edge portions of thrust reverser lower bifurcation wall
A thrust reverser of a propulsion system nacelle is provided. The thrust reverser includes a fixed structure, a translating structure, and an aerodynamic feature. The fixed structure includes an annular wall that partially defines an annular bypass airstream duct. The fixed structure is bifurcated into left and right side sections. The annular wall extends between upper and lower bifurcation walls of the left side section, and extends between upper and lower bifurcation walls of the right side section. The translating structure is moveable relative to the fixed structure, between a stowed position and a deployed position. The aerodynamic feature that includes a flange disposed relative to an aft end portion of one of the lower bifurcation walls. The flange aids in preventing aerodynamic drag.
Nacelle
A nacelle is configured to be coupled to an underside of a wing and forms a clearance space between the nacelle and a leading edge slat of the wing. A portion of an outlet cowling moves longitudinally aft when a reverse thrust configuration is activated and the leading edge slat is deployed toward the nacelle. The outlet cowling also includes another portion located adjacent to the leading edge slat that does not move when the reverse thrust configuration is activated and thus maintains its clearance space from the leading edge slat.
THRUST REVERSER TRACK BEAM WITH INTEGRATED ACTUATOR FITTING
A thrust reverser actuator system fitting and a v-blade may be coupled to a track beam. A portion of the load between a translating sleeve and a fan case may be transmitted through the track beam. The thrust reverser actuator system fitting may comprise an integral v-blade.
Turbofan comprising a set of rotatable blades for blocking off the bypass flow duct
A turbofan having a nacelle including a slider translationally mobile to open a window between a duct and the exterior, a plurality of blades, each rotationally mobile on the slider, and a maneuvering system moving each blade and comprising for each blade, a shaft rotationally mobile on the slider and onto which the blade is fixed, an arm having a first end fixed to the shaft, an arc coaxial with the longitudinal axis, mounted rotationally mobile on the slider about the longitudinal axis, a rectilinear rod fixed by its base to the arc, the rectilinear rod inserted into a through-bore of a stock, wherein the stock is mounted translationally free relative to the rectilinear rod, and the stock is mounted rotationally free on the arm at its second end about a rocking axis parallel to the rotational axis, and an actuation system producing arc rotation in two opposite directions.
THRUST REVERSER PROVIDED WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT THRUST REVERSER FLAP
A thrust reverser includes a fixed structure and a movable structure defining an air stream, a flap including a single wall perforated on the surface thereof, and a structure strengthening the flap and having an acoustic function. The flap being articulated between the fixed structure and the movable structure to allow in a direct jet position, disposing the wall along an acoustic section of the movable structure and allowing the circulation of an air flow through the air stream, the acoustic section forming with the structure of the wall an acoustic resonator, and in a reverse jet position, disposing the wall to deflect an air flow passing through the air stream and allow the passage through the wall and through the air stream of a portion of the air flow deflected by the flap.
Nacelle
A nacelle is configured to be coupled to an underside of a wing and forms a clearance space between the nacelle and a leading edge slat of the wing. A portion of an outlet cowling moves longitudinally aft when a reverse thrust configuration is activated and the leading edge slat is deployed toward the nacelle. The outlet cowling also includes another portion located adjacent to the leading edge slat that does not move when the reverse thrust configuration is activated and thus maintains its clearance space from the leading edge slat.
Thrust reversal on aircraft fuselage with a wing profile
An aircraft includes a fuselage having a wing profile. An apparatus for thrust reversal is disposed on the tail of the aircraft. Air feed takes place from the outside, by way of a braking flap with an air intake channel and/or from a propelling machine.
TURBOFAN COMPRISING A SET OF ROTATABLE BLADES FOR BLOCKING OFF THE BYPASS FLOW DUCT
A turbofan having a nacelle including a slider translationally mobile to open a window between a duct and the exterior, a plurality of blades, each rotationally mobile on the slider, and a maneuvering system moving each blade and comprising for each blade, a shaft rotationally mobile on the slider and onto which the blade is fixed, an arm having a first end fixed to the shaft, an arc coaxial with the longitudinal axis, mounted rotationally mobile on the slider about the longitudinal axis, a rectilinear rod fixed by its base to the arc, the rectilinear rod inserted into a through-bore of a stock, wherein the stock is mounted translationally free relative to the rectilinear rod, and the stock is mounted rotationally free on the arm at its second end about a rocking axis parallel to the rotational axis, and an actuation system producing arc rotation in two opposite directions.
Nacelle for an aircraft engine with variable section nozzle
The present disclosure concerns a nacelle for an aircraft engine, which includes a thrust reverser cowling that is slidably mounted between a direct jet position, and a reversed jet position in which the cowling opens a passage in the nacelle and uncovers a deflection device, and at least one actuator for moving the cowling. The nozzle section of the cowling delimits at least one opening that is combined with a leakage door, the leakage door being movably mounted on the cowling between a closed position in which the door engages with the associated opening to counteract the flow of air through said opening, and an open escape position in which the door is retracted to allow a portion of the air flow to flow through said opening.
