Abstract: An acoustic core may include an array of resonant cells configured as a plurality of resonant cell groups. The resonant cell groups may include a plurality of resonant cells configured as a partitioned resonant cell that include a converging resonant cell and a diverging resonant cell. The converging resonant cell and the diverging resonant cell may be defined by a plurality of cell walls integrally formed with one another and a partition integrally formed with the plurality of cell walls. The partition may at least partially delimit the converging resonant cell from the diverging resonant cell. The converging resonant cell may define an upper resonant space delimited by the partition and a top face of the array of resonant cells. The diverging resonant cell may define a lower resonant space delimited by the partition and a bottom face of the array of resonant cells.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a fuselage extending between a forward end and an aft end; a propulsor mounted to the fuselage at the aft end of the fuselage, the propulsor comprising an outer nacelle, the outer nacelle defining an inlet to the propulsor; and a deployable assembly attached to at least one of the fuselage or the outer nacelle and moveable between a stowed position and an engaged position. The deployable assembly alters an airflow towards the propulsor or into the propulsor through the inlet defined by the outer nacelle when in the engaged position. The propulsor further comprises a tail cone, wherein the outer nacelle defines an exhaust with the tail cone, and wherein the plurality of nacelle panels are movable generally along the axial centerline to a position at least partially aft of the exhaust of the outer nacelle when in the engaged position.
