CONNECTING ROD FOR A TURBINE ENGINE NACELLE
A connecting rod for a nacelle of a turbine engine is described. The connecting rod includes a region configured to move the center of aerodynamic forces able to be exerted on the connecting rod, in the direction of an air flow intended to be generated during a thrust generated by the turbine engine.
PROPULSION ASSEMBLY FOR AN AIRCRAFT
A propulsion assembly for an aircraft, comprising a nacelle, a propulsion system housed in the nacelle and comprising a fairing, a rotary assembly that has a combustion chamber and is housed in the fairing, an exhaust nozzle delimited by a nozzle wall of the fairing, a fuel tank, a supply duct which connects the tank and the combustion chamber, and a heat exchanger system ensuring, during operation of the propulsion system, an exchange of heat energy between the hot combustion gases circulating in the nozzle and the colder fuel circulating in the supply duct by thermal radiation through the nozzle wall.

DIFFUSER NOZZLE FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE
A diffuser nozzle for a gas turbine engine includes a housing disposed about a nozzle axis and extending between a first nozzle end and a second nozzle end. The housing defines a nozzle duct. A plurality of walls is disposed within the nozzle duct. The plurality of walls subdivides the nozzle duct into a plurality of duct sections. The plurality of walls further defines a plurality of axially-extending duct segments of the nozzle duct such that within a first axially-extending duct segment, the duct cross-sectional area of a first duct section of the plurality of duct sections is greater than the duct cross-sectional area of each other duct section and within a second axially-extending duct segment, the duct cross-sectional area of a second duct section of the plurality of duct sections is greater than the duct cross-sectional area of each other duct section.
Thrust reverser for a turbojet engine nacelle comprising an end-of-travel stop on the primary guide rail
The present disclosure relates to a thrust reverser for a turbojet engine nacelle, including cowls that move backwards to open the thrust reverser. Each cowl includes a primary axial guide rail that receives most of the loads of the cowl, and secondary rails guiding an outer portion of each cowl. The thrust reverser includes a rear end stop for each cowl is arranged on the primary axial guide rails.
CRACK STOPPER FOR WELDS
A method for joining two structural elements by welding, in particular by butt welding comprises forming a weld line joining the two structural elements; and adding material across the weld line, thereby forming one or more crack stoppers for limiting crack propagation along the weld line. The one or more crack stoppers each have a limited extension along the weld line as seen in relation to a length of the weld line. A structural system comprising two structural elements joined by the method is disclosed. The method may be applied, e.g., to components of aircraft engines.
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.
