20080236167 | VARIABLE-SECTION FLOW MIXER FOR A DOUBLE-FLOW TURBOJET FOR A SUPERSONIC AIRPLANE - The invention relates to a variable-section flow mixer for a double-flow turbojet for a supersonic airplane, the mixer comprising a central body, a primary cover, a secondary cover, and a nozzle extending the secondary cover. The nozzle has a plurality of external-air admission openings having mounted therein lobes that are movable between two positions: a closed position in which they close the openings; and a deployed position in which they disengage said openings and deploy into the nozzle so as to allow external air to be admitted. All of the lobes present a common azimuth component in a common direction, and the mixer further includes a plurality of longitudinal grooves occupying at least a portion of the central body, all of the grooves presenting a common azimuth component in a common direction that is opposite to the direction of the azimuth component of the lobes. | 10-02-2008 |
20120000177 | TURBINE ENGINE WITH NONSTREAMLINED IMPELLERS - The present invention relates to a turbine engine comprising two respectively upstream and downstream external impellers ( | 01-05-2012 |
20120192543 | EXHAUST NOZZLE FOR A BYPASS AIRPLANE TURBOJET HAVING A DEPLOYABLE SECONDARY COVER AND A RETRACTABLE CENTRAL BODY - The invention relates to an exhaust nozzle for a bypass airplane turbojet comprising an annular central body, an annular primary cover surrounding the central body to define a hot stream flow channel, and an annular secondary cover surrounding the primary cover to define a cold stream flow channel, each of the central body and the secondary cover comprising a stationary portion and a movable portion connected to a downstream end of the stationary portion, the movable portion of the central body being suitable for being retracted longitudinally upstream relative to the stationary portion, and the movable portion of the secondary cover being suitable for being deployed longitudinally downstream relative to the stationary portion. | 08-02-2012 |
20130009002 | TURBOSHAFT ENGINE SUPPORTING PYLON COVERED WITH A POROUS MATERIAL AND TURBOSHAFT ENGINE/PYLON ASSEMBLY - A turboshaft engine supporting pylon covered with a porous material and a turboshaft engine/pylon assembly. The pylon supports a turboshaft engine on an aircraft, and includes an outer surface covered at least partially with a porous material to reduce amplitude of acoustic waves leaving the turboshaft engine. The assembly includes a turboshaft engine and a pylon, in which the pylon extends longitudinally from upstream to downstream and includes an upper part for securing to the aircraft, a lower part for securing to the turboshaft engine, and an absorption part extending in an exhaust stream from the turboshaft engine and including an internal absorption part extending inside the turboshaft engine and an external absorption part extending downstream of the turboshaft engine. The outer surface of the upstream end of the external absorption part of the pylon is covered with a porous material to limit noise formation downstream of the engine. | 01-10-2013 |
20130043343 | METHOD OF PROCESSING ACOUSTIC WAVES EMITTED AT THE OUTLET OF A TURBO ENGINE OF AN AIRCRAFT WITH A DIELECTRIC-BARRIER DISCHARGE DEVICE AND AIRCRAFT COMPRISING SUCH A DEVICE - A method of processing acoustic waves emitted at an outlet of a turbo engine of an aircraft with a dielectric barrier discharge device, and an aircraft including such a device. The method includes activating the dielectric barrier discharge device so as to emit an electric wind in a direction of acoustic waves so as to attenuate the acoustic waves. An aircraft can include such a dielectric barrier discharge device. | 02-21-2013 |
20130055718 | DEVICE FOR REDUCING THE NOISE EMITTED BY THE JET OF AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION ENGINE - A gas exhaust nozzle for aircraft propulsion includes at least a downstream part with a trailing edge of chevron type formed of chevrons distributed along the periphery of the nozzle. Each chevron extends downstream between an upstream transverse plane and a downstream transverse plane with free edges oriented in two converging downstream directions and defining the trailing edge. The chevrons generate vortices at the boundary of the jet emitted by the nozzle. The gas exhaust nozzle includes a device to inject auxiliary gas jets upstream of the free edges of the chevrons in the main jet through orifices placed upstream of the upstream plane in such a way as to discharge upstream of the upstream plane of the chevrons to generate the vortices upstream of the free edges of the chevrons. | 03-07-2013 |
20130115083 | TURBINE ENGINE HAVING TWO UNDUCTED PROPELLERS - A turbine engine including two outer coaxial counter-rotating unducted propellers, of an upstream propeller and a downstream propeller, respectively. The blades of the downstream propeller are retractable in the lengthwise direction thereof so as to reduce the diameter of the propeller. The reduction in the diameter of the downstream propeller makes it possible to reduce noise caused by vortices generated by the upstream propeller. | 05-09-2013 |
20130280046 | BYPASS TURBOJET - A bypass turbojet including a fan wheel carrying blades and surrounded by an annular casing, the casing including an air suction mechanism sucking air from an annular clearance formed between the casing and radially outer ends of the blades of the fan wheel. The air suction mechanism includes an inlet including at least one inlet slot formed in an inside wall of the casing and connected to a suction channel extending downstream. The inlet slot of the suction mechanism is situated axially in register solely with upstream portions of chords of the blades of the fan wheel at their radially outer ends. | 10-24-2013 |
