Propeller for an aircraft engine comprising: a blade mounting associated with each blade, mounted so as to pivot on the hub according to an incident pitch axis; a pivoting link between each blade mounting and the root, allowing the blade to pivot relative to the blade mounting thereof according to a blade collapsing axis; associated with at least one of the blades, a member for controlling the collapsing/extension of the blade configured to pivot the root relative to the blade mounting according to the collapsing axis; and a passive device for synchronising the collapsing/extension of the blades, including a central synchronisation element mounted so as to rotate relative to the hub according to the propeller rotation axis, as well as a coupling element associated with each blade, including a first end mounted on the blade root and a second end mounted on the central synchronisation element.

Aircraft propeller comprising collapsible variable pitch blades

A propulsion module configured to launch a craft into space including a recoverable module and a non-recovered part, which is secured to the recoverable module at launch. The recoverable module includes a propulsive system to launch the craft, systems for command and control of the propulsive system, a subsonic flight propulsion motor, airfoils for the subsonic flight, a landing gear, and a braking parachute. The recoverable module is installed in a lower position of the craft when the craft is in the launch position. The non-recovered part includes at least one tank to feed the propulsive system. The recoverable module and the non-recovered part are configured to be separated when the propulsion module reaches a given altitude, and the recoverable module is capable of landing in a controlled fashion after a coasting flight, for example for a return to the launch site.

Reusable module for launcher

The invention concerns an ultra-rapid air vehicle together with a method of aerial locomotion by means of an ultra-rapid air vehicle, where the air vehicle is propelled by a system of motors formed of turbojets (TB, TB), ramjets (ST, ST) and a rocket motor which can be made streamlined to reduce the drag of the base during the cruise phase, and where the vehicle has a gothic delta wing (A) fitted with moving fins (a, a) at both outer ends of the trailing edge of the delta wing (A).

Ultra-rapid air vehicle and related method for aerial locomotion

A recoverable module for a propulsion module configured to launch a craft into space, the recoverable module including a central body, a propulsion system configured to launch the craft, systems for commanding and controlling the propulsion system, at least one propulsion engine in subsonic flight, lift surfaces for the subsonic flight and landing gear, the lift surface including two substantially flat wings fixed with respect to the central body, arranged on either side of the central body of the module, and a stabilizer mounted articulated for rotation on a downstream end of each wing, each stabilizer including at least one pair of lower wing surface and upper wing surface flaps mounted articulated on the stabilizer or any other flap fulfilling a dynamic function.

Simplified reusable module for launcher

An afterbody device for a spacecraft fitted with at least one rocket engine at the rear of the craft includes at least one movable cover element designed to take a first position, masking and reducing the vehicle's rear drag, where it prolongs the vehicle's fuselage around at least one part of a rocket engine nozzle of the vehicle and extends beyond the rear of the vehicle's fuselage, and to take a second position fully deployed, increasing the vehicle's aerodynamic drag.
