    摘要: An acoustic panel for an aircraft nacelle includes, from a central axis of the nacelle to the exterior thereof, a resistive skin perforated with sound-absorbing micro-perforations, a first attenuation stage, a septum perforated with holes, a second attenuation stage, and a back skin configured to provide the mechanical strength of the acoustic panel. The septum is a planar wall having a thickness greater than that of the resistive skin, preferably greater than 4 mm. Such a panel is configured to attenuate several frequency ranges one of which being a low-frequency range, while optimizing the weight, the cost and the air intake functions. The thickness of the septum, the dimensions of the holes in the septum, the OAR of the septum and the height of the second attenuation stage are adjusted to match the mean attenuated low frequency to the vibration frequency of the aircraft engine.

    摘要: An air intake structure for a nacelle of an aircraft is disclosed having an air intake lip with a U-shaped section open towards the rear, an acoustic panel that extends the air intake lip towards the rear and on an inner side, an outer panel extending the air intake lip towards the rear and on an outer side, and a rear strengthening frame fixed between the outer panel and the acoustic panel, where the rear strengthening frame partly defines an inner volume that is immediately in front of the rear strengthening frame. The air intake structure comprises an impact absorber element positioned in the inner volume and the impact absorber element assumes the form of a structure that is deformable during an impact and that is at least partially filled with a fluid. The impact absorber element is a flexible shroud filled with a pressurized gas.

    摘要: An anterior part of a nacelle of an aircraft propulsion unit. A rigidifying frame annular about a longitudinal axis of extension of the nacelle is at the rear end of the anterior part. An annular shield is in front of the rigidifying frame and connects an internal peripheral edge of the rigidifying frame to an internal structure. The shield has a portion extending towards the external panel beyond the internal peripheral edge of the rigidifying frame, the portion forming a non-zero angle with respect to the rigidifying frame to form a free space with respect to the rigidifying frame behind the portion. The shield can thus deform in the event of an impact of a foreign object entering through the air inlet lip, without the rigidifying frame itself being deformed, thereby absorbing all or some of the impact energy. A nacelle can have such an anterior part, and an aircraft can have such a nacelle.

    摘要: An assembly including two juxtaposed acoustic panels. Resistive faces of the acoustic panels are in the continuation of one another. A first resistive face extends as far as the first end wall of a first panel. The first end wall is in contact with a second end wall of a second panel in the region of the first resistive face and of the second resistive face. A connecting piece is interposed between the first end wall and the second end wall over a part of the length thereof so that the connecting piece does not extend as far as the first and second resistive faces. That makes it possible to form an acoustic cladding that is continuous, exhibiting no non-acoustic zone or reduced-acoustic zone at the junction between the acoustic panels of which it is formed. A nacelle of an aircraft propulsion unit is one application.

    摘要: A nacelle has a fixed cowl and a mobile cowl, which is movable along a translation path between closing and opening positions, a window delimited by the fixed cowl and the mobile cowl and open between an airflow and exterior of the nacelle, a reverser flap rotatably mounted to move between closed and open positions, and a drive mechanism configured to control passage of the reverser flap between the closed and open positions as the mobile cowl moves between the closed and open positions. From the closing/closed positions, the drive mechanism assures a translation of the mobile cowl and a rotation of the reverser flap toward their respective opening/open positions. From the open/opening positions, the drive mechanism assures a rotation of the reverser flap and a translation of the mobile cowl toward their respective closed/closing position. In some embodiments, the nacelle further includes an additional, or second, flap.
