A system for dual management of anti-icing and boundary layer suction for an aerofoil of an aircraft, including: at least one anti-icing channel and at least one suction channel; a device monitoring boundary layer suction and a device monitoring anti-icing; a first duct collecting the suction air communicating with the suction channel and a second duct supplying anti-icing air connected to the device and communicating with the anti-icing channel; a three-way valve to which the first duct, a suction duct, and a duct for discharging the anti-icing air are connected; and a duct collecting anti-icing air connected to the anti-icing channel, and to the first duct.

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a sandwich panel comprising a step to bake a stacked structure () provided with: a honeycomb body (); a film () pre-impregnated with a first resin with a polymerization temperature T; and a first stack () of fiber layers pre-impregnated with a second resin with a polymerization temperature Tgreater than T, the film being arranged between the first stack and the body. The baking step comprises a first phase designed to use the film (), to create a rigid barrier providing a seal from the second resin by polymerization of said first resin, followed by a second phase designed to produce the skin starting from the stack (), by polymerization of the second resin.

A method for producing a skin of a leading edge for an aircraft wing element, including an assembly of resistive heating elements designed to form an integral part of a system for de-icing and/or anti-icing of the leading edge. The method includes curing a stack in a mold between two molding surfaces facing each other. The stack includes the resistive heating elements assembly, two adhesive films arranged respectively on either side of the assembly so that the heating elements adhere to each of these two adhesive films, two layers of electrically insulating pre-impregnated fibers adhering respectively to the two adhesive films on the sides opposite those receiving the heating elements, and a plurality of layers of pre-impregnated carbon fibers.

Thin walled compartmented tubular structure and its manufacturing process. The elbow or T-shaped structure, includes an external wall ()and continuous internal walls () made in one piece. This therefore materializes, between the inlet () and each outlet () of the structure, at least one continuous passage to direct a fluid circulating inside it. The structure according to the invention is manufactured by diffusion welding and superplastic forming, from titanium alloy sheets. One application is for aircraft de-icing circuits.
