    Abstract: A thrust reverser system includes a thrust reversal cascade and a reverser door which are accommodated in a housing situated outside a secondary flow duct. The system also includes connection parts the presence of which combined with the action of the actuator gives rise simultaneously to: displacement rearwards of the cascade in the direction of a nacelle opening, cleared by a nacelle cowling entrained rearwards together with the cascade; and a combined movement of the reverser door relative to the cascade, leading to displacement of the front end of the door rearwards along the cascade, and to pivoting of this door, such as to give rise to plunging of its rear end into the secondary flow duct.

    Abstract: A thrust reverser system includes two thrust reversal cascades, of which the first cascade is entrained by an actuator, and which are configured to adopt a retracted position in which they are housed in a space located outside the duct. The action of the actuator brings about: rearward displacement of the first cascade in the direction of a nacelle opening; and during part of the rearward displacement of the second cascade, simultaneous pivoting of this second cascade under the action of a control lever, the interaction of which with a fixed guide rail forces the front end of the lever to move radially inwards while the lever is entrained rearwards by the second cascade.

    Abstract: A primary structure of a strut for bearing an aircraft power plant including a front part intended to be joined to an aircraft power plant and a rear part intended to be joined to a structure of the aircraft, the front part being formed from a box including an upper longitudinal member, a lower longitudinal member, and lateral panels. A main rib is located at an interface between the front part and the rear part. The rear part is formed from a set of four connecting rods. The first end of each connecting rod is joined to the front part of the primary structure and the second end of each connecting rod is joined to a separate interface for fastening to the structure of the aircraft. This allows a substantial simplification of the primary structure of a strut for bearing an aircraft power plant, which can have advantages in particular in terms of cost, mass, and simplicity of implementation and integration.

    Abstract: A method for mounting an aircraft pylon connected to a wing includes: a step of pre-positioning first and second contact surfaces respectively provided on the wing and the pylon, a step of installing and tightening temporary connection elements, so as to keep the first and second contact surfaces clamped against one another, a step of installing and expanding at least one radially expandable element in at least one pair of first and second receptacles respectively provided on the wing and the pylon, a step of installing and tightening final connection elements connecting the pylon and the wing in the mounted state, a step of removing the radially expandable element(s) and the temporary connection elements, and of installing the remaining final connection elements and shear pin(s).

    Abstract: In order to optimize the bulk of a primary structure of an aircraft engine attachment pylon, and to favor the installation of the engine as close as possible to the wing element, the disclosure herein provides an aircraft assembly comprising a wing element, a turbofan engine and an engine attachment pylon, the engine comprising a rear part arranged under the wing element equipped with a wing structure, the pylon comprising a primary structure for transmitting loads from the engine to the wing structure, this primary structure comprising a pylon box, and the assembly also comprising an attachment for attaching the primary structure to the engine. According to the disclosure herein, the wing structure comprises two wing boxes that follow one another in a wingspan direction of the wing element, and the pylon box is arranged between these boxes and fixed to each of the latter.
