    Abstract: An aircraft tailcone comprising a tailcone fuselage, a turbomachine, for example an APU, housed inside the tailcone, a ram air intake on the tailcone fuselage for the ingestion of ram air towards the interior of the turbomachine compartment, an inlet flap operable reciprocately from an open position in which ingestion of ram air is allowed, and a closed position in which ram air ingestion is prevented. The ram air intake extends annularly along a perimeter of the tailcone fuselage, and the inlet flap is configured such in its closed position that a surface of the inlet flap is substantially flush with the tailcone fuselage.

    Abstract: A method for masking an aeronautical structure with a frisket before painting such aeronautical structure, including the steps of: providing the aeronautical structure comprising at least one hole; providing the frisket; providing at least one jamming element, wherein said jamming element is configured to be inserted into the at least one hole; providing at least one C-shaped jamming element configured to be placed on a lateral of the first section; arranging the frisket partially over the at least one hole; inserting the at least one jamming element into the at least one hole, partially holding the frisket; wrapping the first section of the aeronautical structure with the frisket, said first section being masked to avoid its painting; and placing the at least one C-shaped jamming element laterally embracing the first section with the frisket, the frisket being clamped against said first section.

    Abstract: An aircraft aerodynamic surface (1) including a torsion box (2) having a front spar (21) and rear spar (22), a first control surface (3) including a front spar (31) and a trailing edge (32) and a second control surface (4) having a front spar (41), a trailing edge (42), and a pivot device (5, 6, 7, 8) for pivotally attaching the first control surface (3) and the second control surface (4) to the rear spar (22) of the torsion box (2), the first control surface is an inboard control surface (4) including two lateral ribs (9, 9′), six inner ribs (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 10) and an inner spar (16), and the second control surface (3) is an outboard control surface which includes two lateral ribs (20, 20′), three internal ribs (17, 18, 19), two internal spars (24, 24′) and one internal spar (23).
