A heat shield for protecting a part of an aircraft is disclosed including superposed layers providing thermal protection, and one or more layers providing fire protection. The heat shield also may include other layers implementing other functions.

Heat shield provided with protective layers, in particular for a part of an aircraft

A propulsion system fastened to one side of an aircraft and having a longitudinal axis and a mid-plane and having a nacelle with two inner cowls, two outer cowls, two lower structural elements and two upper structural elements, wherein each outer cowl is articulated on a pylon by hinges with axes parallel to the longitudinal axis. The two outer cowls are contiguous at a separation plane containing the longitudinal axis and making, with the mid-plane, an acute angle. The axes are asymmetrical with respect to the mid-plane.

Propulsion system of an aircraft, having an asymmetrical nacelle

A nacelle for a jet engine having a selectively operated reverse thruster which redirects air flow to a cascade during a reverse thrust operation, the nacelle including a fancowl panel configured as a stationary partial cover for a jet engine; and a translating cowl panel configured to move transversely during a reverse thrust operation so as to expose a cascade for emitting reverse thrust airflow. In exemplary embodiments, a moveable automatic translating panel, or a rotatable hinge panel, or an extension portion of the fancowl is used to preserve clearance with an aircraft wing in a nacelle clearance area.
