Abstract: A flying drone for inspecting surfaces able to reflect light has a lighting device formed of two light sources each having a shape that is elongate in a longitudinal direction of each of the light sources, two first image acquisition devices, and a second image acquisition device between the two first image acquisition devices. The two light sources are respectively between the second image acquisition device and each of the first image acquisition devices. The flying drone allows effective detection of dents in surfaces by analyzing specular reflections, by the lighting device and of the first image acquisition devices, and effective detection of superficial defects on surfaces by the second image acquisition device, with the lighting device switched off.

Abstract: To reduce the footprint of an installation for assembling a fuselage section, a support structure includes a chassis and a core mounted so that it can rotate relative to the chassis about an axis of rotation of the core. The core includes a fastener(s) for holding the longitudinal fuselage portions around the core, with a view to assembling them to form the fuselage section. The support structure includes one or more rolling elements provided on the chassis, in order to allow the movement of this support structure within the installation.

Abstract: An assembly of an engine with a pylon, including a force reacting assembly having a connection device and two rods, the connection device including a shoe. A spreader extends between first and second ends and has a central part connected to the shoe by a main connection including a main rotation pin and axis in a plane of symmetry of the connection device. Two fittings are on either side of the plane of symmetry each having two arms between which the spreader is positioned. A first, respectively second, rod includes a front end fastened to the engine and a rear end fastened to the first, respectively second, end of the spreader and to the first, respectively second, fitting by a secondary connection. Two extensions of the spreader are each associated with a pair of elastic stops. For the first, respectively second, end of the spreader, each stop is between an arm of the first, respectively second, fitting and the extension.

Abstract: A multi-band antenna (100) including a metal base plate (10) forming an electrical ground plane, and a plurality of metal patches (1 to 3) superimposed on top of the metal base plate. The metal patches are connected in parallel between a signal lead wire (11A) and the metal base plate. The metal patches have respective surface areas which increase with the distance of each metal patch from the metal base plate. The antenna provides as many different resonant frequency values as there are patches.

Abstract: An aircraft propulsion system including a turbojet and heat exchanger system including a heat exchanger. A supply connection and evacuation connection are forward, and aft are a transfer connection and a scoop connection, a supply pipe connected to the supply connection, and which bleeds hot air from the compression stages. A transfer pipe connected to the transfer connection transfers hot air to an air management system. A scoop connected to a scoop connection bleeds cold air from a fan duct and an evacuation pipe, including an inlet connected to the evacuation connection and an outlet, which emerges on the outside, where hot air through the heat exchanger from the supply pipe to the transfer pipe passes along a first transfer direction and cold air passes through the heat exchanger from each scoop to the inlet along a second transfer direction parallel to the first transfer direction in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A sensor is fixed on an aircraft structure by a joining system which includes at least one enclosure in which is positioned at least one transducer, at least one passage configured to allow at least one conducting element to pass through the enclosure, at least one flexible connection connecting each transducer present in the enclosure to said enclosure and at least one binder joining together the enclosure and the structure. This joining system makes it possible to limit the spread of the deformations of the structure toward the transducer or transducers and ultimately the risks of malfunction.

Abstract: A propulsion system includes a bypass turbine engine and a pylon. The turbine engine includes an engine, two internal cowls, two outer cowls, a first lock for locking the internal cowls to the engine, cascades of vanes fixed to the outer cowl via hooping, wherein the outer cowls are movable in translation with respect to the engine, in which each outer cowl is able to slide parallel to a direction of translation on an internal cowl via a top guideway connection and a bottom guideway connection, and in which each outer cowl is mounted with the ability to slide parallel to the direction of translation on the pylon via an upper guideway connection. The propulsion system makes it possible during maintenance operations to move the outer cowl and the internal fixed structure towards the rear and therefore away from the front cowls to get at the engine.
