Abstract:
An aircraft of flying wing or blended wing body type comprising, for access to a pressurized housing, a non-pressurized door in the trailing edge of the aircraft and a pressurized door on the pressurized housing. The distance between the center of the pressurized door and a plane of symmetry of the aircraft is less than or equal to the distance between the center of the non-pressurized door and the plane of symmetry, and the pressurized door is outside a rear wall of the pressurized housing or upstream of a rear extremum point of the housing in the absence of any such rear wall. This aircraft has optimum aerodynamic performance and the circulation of passengers between the pressurized housing and the exterior of the aircraft may be fluid.
Abstract:
In order to simplify the connection of a door to the outer envelope of an aircraft cell, it is provided to dispose the door into a portion of the outer envelope having tilted sides, as is the case at the nose cones and the tail cones of conventional airplanes, and in various portions of blended wing body airplanes and flying wings. Thus, the door can be configured to displace, in rectilinear translation, from one of its extreme opening and closing positions to the other, without requiring that the door protrudes outside of the outer envelope in the closing position.
Abstract:
An auxiliary power device may be exteriorly removably connected to an aircraft in order to allow the increase of the performance data of the aircraft, namely at take-off and landing. The auxiliary power device includes a propeller (or fan) connected to an electric engine fed by an electric power supply.

Abstract:
A jet engine comprises at least three zones including an air intake zone and an exhaust zone. The axis of the air intake zone is not coincident with the axis of the exhaust zone of the engine, the engine as a result, having at least two intersecting axes and being referred to as a multiaxial engine. Therefore, the jet engine has at least two zones with different longitudinal axis orientations: by choosing an axial orientation of the zones of the engine that are more sensitive to a detachment or breakage of elements of the gas generator, it is possible to also choose a direction of the possible paths of these detached elements, to avoid them striking the opposite engine.
