    Abstract: An air intake for a nacelle of an aircraft engine includes a substantially cylindrical outer wall, a substantially cylindrical inner wall, a front lip, a front mounting flange, and a support structure. The front lip connects the substantially cylindrical inner wall and the substantially cylindrical outer wall. The front mounting flange is configured to cooperate with a rear flange of a wall of the aircraft engine forming a fan casing. The support structure comprises a lower end configured to be secured to the fan casing, by the rear flange, and an upper end in contact at least with a downstream portion of the outer wall. The support structure includes access apertures configured to be crossed by maintenance tools during operations of maintenance of the air intake.

    Abstract: A propulsive assembly for aircraft comprising an engine, a nacelle arranged around the engine and a pylon supporting the engine, the nacelle including two engine cowls and reversing cowls, each cowl having an internal skin, characterized in that at least one of the cowls of the nacelle comprises at least one box arranged in a space situated between the internal skin of the cowl and the engine, the box delimiting a volume of inert material, the inert material being flame retardant foam. This box partially blocks a zone of the engine where a fire is likely to begin, which makes it possible to limit the volume of a fire zone of the engine, and thus reduce the quantity of extinguishing agent which is necessary to extinguish a fire in the zone of the engine concerned.

    Abstract: An engine pylon of an aircraft having a rear portion, two rear cowls around the rear portion, each rear cowl having an upper fixed cowl and a lower movable cowl mounted articulated on the rear portion, wherein in the closed position the two lower movable cowls are moved close to one another, such that their lower edges are contiguous, wherein in the open position the two lower movable cowls are tilted such that their lower edges are moved away from one another, for each lower movable cowl, a hinge system fixed between the lower movable cowl and the rear portion, and at least one locking system which locks the two lower movable cowls to one another in the closed position. The presence of the lower movable cowls ensures, among other things, easy access to the interior of the engine pylon.

    Abstract: A propulsion system assembly includes a variable area inlet and an inlet duct. The variable area inlet includes an outer airflow inlet passage, an inner airflow inlet passage, an inlet structure and a center body structure. The outer airflow inlet passage is between the inlet structure and the center body structure. The inner airflow inlet passage is formed within the center body structure. The center body structure includes a valve configured to regulate air flow through the inner airflow inlet passage. The valve includes a first door configured to pivot between a closed position and an open position. The inlet duct is configured to receive air from the outer airflow inlet passage when the first door is in the closed position. The inlet duct is configured to receive air from the outer airflow inlet passage and the inner airflow inlet passage when the first door is in the open position.
