    Abstract: An engine pylon for an aircraft and comprising an inverted U-shaped upper spar with two lateral walls, a U-shaped lower spar with two lateral walls, where the free ends of the lateral walls of the spars are adjacent, an arrangement to the free end of a lateral wall of one spar to the free end of the lateral wall of the other spar, and ribs between the spars where each has a top end fixed to the lateral walls of the upper spar and a bottom end fixed to the lower spar. Such an engine pylon thus offers a reduced number of component parts and a single row of fixings per side, enabling a saving in weight and in assembly time.

    Abstract: An engine mounting pylon for suspending a turbofan beneath an aircraft wing, including a primary structure, a fastening device for fastening to the turbofan, and a fastening device for fastening to the wing. The engine mounting pylon furthermore comprises multiple rigid braces that mechanically connect the primary structure to the wing of the aircraft, a first brace-attachment device that mechanically connects a first end of each brace to the wing, and a second brace-attachment device that mechanically connects a second end of each brace to the primary structure. This braced-pylon architecture makes it possible to reduce the dimensions of the primary structure and the various elements that constitute the first and second attachment devices.

    Abstract: A bypass turbojet nacelle comprising a fixed structure, a fixed cowl and a cowl movable in translation between advanced and withdrawn positions by a ram with a reverser flap movable thereon, and a deployment system comprising a first slider integral with the movable cowl, a first groove comprising a first part and a curved, second part integral with the fixed structure, a second slider movable in translation in the second groove part, a first connecting rod rotatable on the first slider and on the second slider, and a second connecting rod articulated on both the first connecting rod first end and the reverser flap. The ram rod is articulated on the first connecting rod. Moving the first slider from the advanced to the withdrawn position moves the second slider along the first part and, when the first slider reaches the withdrawn position, the second slider moves along the second part.

    Abstract: An aircraft having a fixed structure, an engine pylon, and a cowling system, a slider bearing a rear cowl and able to move in translation from an advanced position to a retracted position, a displacement system having, on either side of a median plane of the engine pylon, a guide as one with the fixed structure, a sliding element as one with the slider and sliding along each guide disposed on the same side, and a support as one with the fixed structure and having a blade parallel to the translation direction and on which a surface parallel to the translation direction of the slider rests. The presence of the mobile cowl ensures, inter alia, easy access to the inside of the engine pylon and to the systems that are housed therein.

    Abstract: A shackle for fastening an aircraft engine including a ball joint with a pin including a ring including a first bore and a sleeve assembled in the first bore and having a second bore configured to receive the pin and the diameter of which progressively increases to have a flared inner surface at each of its ends, the fastening shackle being arranged such that a spherical outer surface of the ring bears an anti-friction coating produced on a region extending beyond the contact region with the body of the shackle, this first region being bordered by rims forming a projection around the coating, and/or the second bore bears an anti-friction coating on a region extending beyond its contact region with the pin, this region being bordered by rims forming a projection around this anti-friction coating, at the ends of the flared inner surface.

    Abstract: An assembly for a nacelle, which includes a fixed cowl, a movable cowl that is movable between a closed position and an open position, and including an upper edge and a lower edge and, between the two edges, a reinforcing rib. The fixed cowl includes, an upper reinforcing rib and a lower reinforcing rib, a hinge including a fixed part attached to the upper reinforcing rib of the fixed cowl, a movable part attached to the reinforcing rib of the movable cowl, and at least two locks, each one including a first part secured to the lower reinforcing rib and a second part secured to the reinforcing rib of the movable cowl. An assembly of this kind serves to provide access to the inside of the nacelle while ensuring that the cowls remain sufficiently rigid.

    Abstract: An assembly having a pylon with an upper spar and four lateral scoops, a wing with a skin, longitudinal spars and fittings, and, for each lateral scoop, two fastening assemblies, wherein the skin and the fitting each have a first bore and wherein the upper spar and the lateral scoop each have a second bore, wherein each fastening assembly has a screw passing through the first and the second bores, a nut, two eccentric rings, threaded onto one another and onto the screw, and a system for stopping the eccentric rings rotating. The assembly makes it possible to dispense with the use of the spigots while also ensuring the reaction of the shear forces contained in the XY plane by the bolts on account of the reduced tolerances between the various bores, the external and internal surfaces of the eccentric rings and the plain zones of the screws.
