    摘要: An air inlet section for an aircraft propulsion system nacelle includes an outer skin, an inner skin, and a lip skin. The lip skin extends between and to an outer end and an inner end. The outer end is disposed at the outer skin. The inner end is disposed at the inner skin. The lip skin forms an exterior lip skin surface extending from the inner end to the outer end. The exterior lip skin surface forms a leading edge of the lip skin. The exterior lip skin surface includes an outer surface portion and an inner surface portion. The outer surface portion extends from the outer end to the inner surface portion. The outer surface portion forms a hydrophobic surface. The inner surface portion extends from the inner end to the outer surface portion. The inner surface portion forms a hydrophilic surface.

    摘要: A system is provided for an aircraft. This aircraft system includes an aircraft wing extending spanwise from a wing base to a wing tip. The aircraft wing extends chordwise from a leading edge to a trailing edge. The aircraft wing extends laterally between a first surface and a second surface. The aircraft wing includes a first section, a second section and a third section. The second section extends spanwise between and connects the third section and the first section. The second section is pivotally connected to first section at a first hinge line. The third section is pivotally connected to the second section at a second hinge line that is angularly offset from the first hinge line by a first acute angle.

    摘要: A door assembly for an aircraft includes a door, a door hinge, and a support assembly rotatably mounting the door hinge to the door. The support assembly includes a forearm and at least one link. The forearm is rotatably mounted to the door hinge along a first rotational axis. The forearm extends along the first rotational axis between and to an upper end and a lower end. The at least one link extends between and to an inner end and an outer end. The at least one link is rotatably mounted to the forearm at the inner end. The at least one link is rotatable relative to the forearm about a second rotational axis. The at least one link is rotatably mounted to the door at the outer end. The at least one link is rotatable about the second rotational axis between and to a lowered position of the door and a raised position of the door.

    摘要: A joining method is provided during which a first thermoplastic component joint section and a second thermoplastic component joint section are arranged between first tooling and second tooling. The second thermoplastic component joint section is abutted against the first thermoplastic component joint section at a joint area. The first thermoplastic component joint section is joined to the second thermoplastic component joint section to provide a unitized thermoplastic structure. The joining includes: pressing the first thermoplastic component joint section against the second thermoplastic component joint section at the joint area between the first tooling and the second tooling using a pressure device; and heating the first thermoplastic component joint section and the second thermoplastic component joint section at the joint area using a first heater configured with the first tooling. The unitized thermoplastic structure is cooled at the joint area using a first cooler configured with the first tooling.

    摘要: A method for welding thermoplastic composite components is provided that includes: providing a first thermoplastic composite component having a first weld region surface; providing a second thermoplastic composite component having a second weld region surface; disposing the first and second weld region surfaces in stationary contact with one another; ultrasonically welding the first and second thermoplastic composite components using a ultrasonic welding device having a sonotrode that linearly reciprocates, the welding including contacting an engagement surface of the first or second thermoplastic composite component with the sonotrode and reciprocating the sonotrode along a travel axis that is parallel to the first and second weld region surfaces until at least one of the first or second thermoplastic material reaches a melt temperature; and then maintaining the first and second weld region surfaces stationary until cooled.

    摘要: A method is provided for manufacturing. This method includes: providing a first skin; providing a second skin; overmolding a cellular core onto the first skin; and joining the second skin to the cellular core to form a blocker door panel for an aircraft thrust reverser system. The blocker door panel includes a plurality of acoustic chambers and a face skin. Each of the acoustic chambers extends through the cellular core from the first skin to the second skin. Each of the acoustic chambers is fluidly coupled with one or more perforations through the face skin. The face skin includes one of the first skin or the second skin.
