An output cone of an aircraft propulsive assembly extending in a general direction called longitudinal direction and including a front part and a rear part. The longitudinal assembly of the front part and rear part forms an acoustic treatment system with at least two degrees of freedom. Such a system allows for the treatment of several frequency ranges or of one wide frequency range by the treatment of several overlapping ranges.

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 comprising a slider mobile in translation between an advanced and a retracted position to open a window between a duct and the exterior, a plurality of blades, each one mobile in rotation on the slider between a stowed and a deployed position, where the blades are split into groups, where each group comprises a first blade, and a maneuvering system moving each blade and comprising a cam integral with the first blade of one of the groups and having a tooth, a groove receiving the tooth, a first transmission system transmitting the movement of the first blade bearing the cam to a first blade of each other group, and, for each group, a second transmission system transmitting the movement of the blade that bears the cam or is moved by the first transmission system to each of the other blades of the group.

A turbofan including a motor, nacelle and a secondary duct therebetween. The nacelle includes a fan casing with front and rear parts, a fixed assembly including a fixed structure and the front part, a mobile assembly with an openwork frame, a mobile cowl and the rear part and mobile between advanced and retracted positions in which a window is open between the secondary duct and the exterior of the nacelle, inner doors articulated between stowed and deployed positions, a first actuator for moving the frame and a second actuator for moving each inner door. The rear part is divided into outer flaps mobile between lowered and raised positions and is moved by an electric motor. A jet engine accordingly serves to increase retraction distance by freeing up part of the fan cowl and improve orientation of flow of air passing through the window by orienting the outer flaps.

A locking system for locking a cowl to a fixed structure including first and second parts, the first part including a first hook moveable on the cowl and a first shaft fixed to the fixed structure in which the first hook is moveable between locked and unlocked positions, in which the second part includes a handle actuateable between closed and open positions, a second hook and a second shaft fixed to the fixed structure or to another cowl symmetric with the cowl, in which the second hook is moveable between locked and unlocked positions and in which the second hook is mounted where passage of the handle from the closed to open positions causes the second hook to pass from the locked into the unlocked position and vice versa, and in which the locking system also includes a transmission system to move the first hook from the locked into the unlocked position when the handle passes from the closed into the open position, and vice versa.

A propulsion system for an aircraft. The propulsion system comprises a core, an internal fixed structure secured to the core and arranged around the core, and a nacelle surrounding the core and the internal fixed structure in which a secondary flow path is delimited between the internal fixed structure and the nacelle. The internal fixed structure has a slot which permits fluidic communication between a compartment on the inside of the internal fixed structure and the secondary flow path.
