An aircraft air intake comprising a lip, an internal panel which comprises a front edge linked to the lip, a front frame which comprises an outer edge and an inner edge linked to the lip and/or to the internal panel, a rear frame which comprises an outer edge, directly or indirectly linked to the lip and an inner edge linked to the rear edge of the internal panel, and at least one joining element linking the outer edges of the front frame and of the rear frame.

Aircraft air intake comprising an outer wall and front and rear frames linked by at least one joining element distinct from the outer wall

Disclosed is an air intake arrangement for an aircraft. The arrangement includes an air intake orifice, which is configured to bleed off a flow of external air, pass the external air through at least one air passage channel and ventilate a confined zone of the aircraft. An aerodynamically controlled shut-off means, comprised of a controllable mobile element and control means, is configured to regulate flow of the external air through the air passage channel to vary a cross section of the air passage channel relative to aircraft speed. The control means are arranged in the air passage channel and include an aerodynamic surface configured to apply a lift force to the control means to vary the cross section of the air passage channel as the flow of external air passes through the channel and toward the confined zone.

Air intake arrangement for a vehicle, in particular an aircraft

An aircraft nacelle with a connecting device between a first conduit of an air intake and a second conduit of a motor, both conduits being arranged end-to-end, the connecting device including an annular flange connected to the air intake, an annular flange connected to the motor pressed against annular flange of the air intake, the flanges extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the nacelle; bolt holes formed in annular flanges and disposed plumb to one another; and connecting elements located in bolt holes, for connecting the annular flanges, wherein at least one flange includes at least one opening interposed between a bolt hole and junction zone of the flange and/or between a bolt hole and outer edge of the flange.

Fastening device particularly suitable for the fastening between an air intake and an engine of an aircraft nacelle

An air intake arrangement includes a mobile plate controlled by at least one fluid communication passage or opening extending between the outer and inner surfaces of the mobile plate. The fluid communication passage or opening is located at least in the vicinity of a limited downstream area of the outer surface, is at a high pressure when the aircraft flies at cruising speed, and is capable of transmitting the high pressure to an extended area of the inner surface. The air flowing through the air intake arrangement may be used to refresh an enclosed area with electrical or mechanical equipment.
