    摘要: An assembly of a pylon and of an engine with a rear engine attachment having two fittings, wherein each one has a shoe fastened to a lower spar of the pylon, two transverse arms, one front and one rear, which are as one with the shoe and offset such that the front transverse arm, respectively rear transverse arm, of one fitting bears in planar fashion against the front transverse arm, respectively rear transverse arm, of the other fitting, wherein each transverse arm is pierced with a bore, wherein the two front transverse arms and the two rear transverse arms are spaced apart parallel to the longitudinal direction and thus form a female clevis, and wherein the assembly also has a lower rod mounted articulated in the female clevis and on the engine. With such an assembly, the number of components is reduced.

    摘要: An aircraft has a battery block for supplying the aircraft with energy. The battery block is arrangeable within a battery compartment of the aircraft. The battery compartment is arranged within a volume formed by a fuselage of the aircraft and is accessible from the outside through a receiving opening in the fuselage. The battery block is introducible into the battery compartment through the receiving opening. When the aircraft is used as intended, the receiving opening is arranged on an upwardly facing top side of the fuselage. The battery block is insertable into the battery compartment by the battery block being moved along an introduction axis oriented substantially parallel to the direction of gravitational force. The battery block comprises a handle, which, when the battery block has been inserted properly into the battery compartment, is accessible from outside the aircraft.

    摘要: An engine pylon has a structure for fastening an aircraft engine beneath a wing and has two lateral faces. The structure has a tunnel laterally passing through it, between and through the lateral faces, and the engine pylon has a spreader housed in the tunnel and fastened in an articulated manner to each lateral face. A first end of the spreader has a first bore. A second end of the spreader has two second bores each forming a connection point with the engine. A rod is fastened in an articulated manner to the first bore and has two third bores each forming a connection point with the engine. Such an engine pylon has the ability to attach the engine, with reduced vertical bulk and with less drag.

    摘要: A multi-material component is provided including two members formed of different materials joined together at a multi-material join. The two members have complementary protrusions that form a multi-material join with a zig-zag interface, such that a tension between them is experienced in at least part as a shear force at the interface between the protrusions. The component further includes a third member connected to the first member by a lattice, which is capable of elastic deformation so as to substantially isolate the interface between the complementary protrusions from deformation of the third member such as that caused by thermal expansion. Methods of designing and constructing such a component in a single piece via additive manufacturing are provided. The component is particularly suitable for use in pylons connecting jet engines to aircraft wings.
