This maintenance trolley () for the air intake () of the nacelle of an aircraft turbojet engine is notable in that it comprises a base () and a platform () cantilever-mounted on this base () and designed to enter said air intake () without contact therewith.

Aircraft turbojet engine nacelle air intake maintenance trolley

The invention relates to a nacelle for a turbojet engine that includes an air intake structure capable of directing an air flow towards a fan of the turbojet engine, and a middle structure for surrounding said fan and to which is attached the air intake structure in order to provide aerodynamic continuity, wherein the air intake structure includes at least one inner panel attached to the middle structure and defining, with the latter, a nacelle fixed structure and at least one outer longitudinal panel removably attached to the fixed structure and including an air intake lip in order to define a removable air intake structure, wherein the removable air intake structure is provided with a locking device including at least one electric lock capable of interaction with a complementary retention structure.

Locking system for air intake structure for turbojet engine nacelle

An air intake structure is mounted upstream of a mid-structure of a nacelle for an aircraft engine. The air intake structure includes an external wall incorporating a lip, a partition defining a deicing compartment in the lip, a deicing manifold extending in the compartment, and a duct for supplying hot air to the deicing manifold. In particular, the external wall is mounted movably with respect to the mid-structure between a rear position and a front position, and the duct is connected in a fixed manner to the mid-structure. The partition is fixed in a sealed manner inside the lip, and the duct is connected to the manifold by a disconnectable seal which is situated in an immediate vicinity of the partition.

Air intake structure to be mounted upstream of a nacelle middle structure for aircraft engine, and nacelle equipped with such air intake structure

A turbojet engine nacelle includes an air intake structure having a longitudinal outer panel incorporating an air intake lip, a middle structure to which the air intake structure is attached, at least one inner panel including an acoustic shroud, rails guiding the outer panel able to allow a rectilinear movement of the outer panel, and a reinforcing member to react the mechanical loads of the guide rails. In particular, the reinforcing member reacts the loads of the guide rails beyond a predetermined deformation of the guide rails.

Turbojet engine nacelle

A nacelle includes a central structure intended to surround a fan of a turbojet engine and an air intake structure attached to the central structure and able to channel a flow of air toward the fan. The nacelle includes at least one longitudinal outer panel incorporating an air intake lip. An inner panel includes an acoustic shell ring which downstream end is attached to an upstream end of the central structure and therewith forms a fixed structure of the nacelle. Guide means are entirely attached to the central structure for guiding the outer panel or panels and allowing substantially rectilinear movement of the outer panel towards the upstream end of the nacelle so that the air intake structure can be opened.
