A turbofan having a nacelle including a slider translationally mobile to open a window between a duct and the exterior, a plurality of blades, each rotationally mobile on the slider, and a maneuvering system moving each blade and comprising for each blade, a shaft rotationally mobile on the slider and onto which the blade is fixed, an arm having a first end fixed to the shaft, an arc coaxial with the longitudinal axis, mounted rotationally mobile on the slider about the longitudinal axis, a rectilinear rod fixed by its base to the arc, the rectilinear rod inserted into a through-bore of a stock, wherein the stock is mounted translationally free relative to the rectilinear rod, and the stock is mounted rotationally free on the arm at its second end about a rocking axis parallel to the rotational axis, and an actuation system producing arc rotation in two opposite directions.

Turbofan comprising a set of rotatable blades for blocking off the bypass flow duct

A turbofan having a nacelle comprising a slider mobile in translation between advanced position and retracted positions to open a window between a duct and the exterior, a plurality of blades, each one being rotatably mobile on the slider between stowed and deployed positions, and a maneuvering system moving each blade and comprising for each blade, a shaft rotatably mobile on the slider and onto which the blade is fixed, for each shaft, a balance beam fixed to the shaft and having first and second ends, for three consecutive balance beams, two connecting rods where the first connecting rod is mounted articulated between the first balance beam and the second balance beam, and where the second connecting rod is mounted articulated between the second balance beam and the third balance beam, and an actuation system rotating one of the connecting rods in one direction and in the other.

A turbofan having a nacelle including a slider mobile in translation between advanced and retracted positions to open a window between a duct and the exterior, a plurality of blades, each being mobile in rotation on the slider between stowed and deployed positions, and a maneuvering system that moves each blade and includes, for each blade, a shaft mobile in rotation on the slider and on which the blade is fixed, an arm having a first end fixed to the shaft and a second end, an arc which is coaxial with the longitudinal axis and is rotatably mounted on the slider, about the longitudinal axis, a lever mounted in articulated fashion between the arc and the second end of the arm, and an actuation system which rotates the arc in one direction and in the other.

A turbofan having a nacelle comprising a slider being mobile in translation between an advanced position and a retracted position to open a window between a duct and the exterior, a plurality of blades, each one being mobile in rotation on the slider between a stowed position and a deployed position, and a maneuvering system that moves each blade. The maneuvering system comprises, for each blade, a shaft being mobile in rotation on the slider and on which the blade is fixed, a toothed sector being fixed to the shaft, a toothed arc being mobile in rotation on the slider, and having a bearing face, a threaded rod mounted fixed on the fixed structure, a cam having a tapped hole screwed onto the threaded rod and mounted fixed in translation with respect to the slider, and a return arrangement that presses the bearing face against the cam outer surface.
