A pylon for attaching a turbine engine, the pylon configured to connect the engine to a structural element of an aircraft. The pylon includes a streamlined profile defined by two opposite lateral faces and defined longitudinally between a leading edge and a trailing edge. On each of its lateral faces the pylon includes a series of deflectors that are transversely spaced apart from one another and that define between them convergent and curved channels configured to accelerate air streams flowing within the channels on aircraft takeoff or in flight to deflect the air streams towards a jet of the engine.

The invention relates to a primary cowl for a turbofan comprising a primary body generating a primary stream to be ejected through a primary nozzle, and a secondary body generating a secondary stream to be ejected through a secondary nozzle, the primary cowl being shaped so as to be positioned downstream from the primary body and to define, on the inside of the turbofan, the path followed by the primary stream downstream from the primary nozzle and, on the outside, the path followed by the secondary stream downstream from the secondary nozzle. The primary cowl comprises a coupling to a system for supplying a pressurized gas and at least one perforation for injecting the pressurized gas, through the perforation, into the secondary stream. The primary cowl preferably comprises a ring which has perforations and which is rotated about the axis of rotation of the turbofan.

A gas exhaust nozzle for aircraft propulsion includes at least a downstream part with a trailing edge of chevron type formed of chevrons distributed along the periphery of the nozzle. Each chevron extends downstream between an upstream transverse plane and a downstream transverse plane with free edges oriented in two converging downstream directions and defining the trailing edge. The chevrons generate vortices at the boundary of the jet emitted by the nozzle. The gas exhaust nozzle includes a device to inject auxiliary gas jets upstream of the free edges of the chevrons in the main jet through orifices placed upstream of the upstream plane in such a way as to discharge upstream of the upstream plane of the chevrons to generate the vortices upstream of the free edges of the chevrons.

According to the invention, the method for defining the shape of a convergent-divergent nozzle of longitudinal axis L-L comprising a convergent part connected, at a throat, to a divergent part the downstream free end of which comprises scallops delimiting noise-reducing chevrons distributed in the circumferential direction, comprises defining beforehand the divergent part of the nozzle using a divergent first portion, a divergent second portion and a convergent portion, attributing an initial value to dimensional parameters defining the chevrons and the three portions, calculating performance criteria and checking that the calculated performance criteria satisfy predefined performance conditions.

A mixer for a confluent-flow nozzle of a turbine engine is provided. The mixer includes: an annular cap designed to be centered on a longitudinal axis of the nozzle and having a stationary upstream portion and a downstream portion that is movable in rotation about the longitudinal axis relative to the stationary portion, the movable portion of the cap terminating at its downstream end in inner lobes alternating circumferentially with outer lobes; and a mechanism which imparts reciprocating rotary motion to the movable portion of the cap.
