Aircraft engine pod with acoustic attenuation
View Patent ↗An internal duct of an aircraft engine pod may include a fan and a tubular air intake having a first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece. The first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece is acoustically homogeneous, is of the resonator type, and has no internal assembly fish-plate. Additionally, the internal duct may include a tubular fan casing and a tubular transition part for connecting the air intake to the fan casing. An internal face of the tubular transition part is acoustically homogeneous also. Moreover, the internal face of the first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece and the internal face of the tubular transition part are disposed in aerodynamic continuity.
1. An aircraft engine pod, an internal duct of which contains a fan and comprises:
a tubular air intake comprising a first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece, of resonator type, having no internal assembly fish-plate and being acoustically homogeneous;
a tubular fan casing; and
a tubular transition part connecting maid air intake to said fan casing and having an acoustically homogeneous internal face,
the internal face of said first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece and said internal face of said tubular transition part being in aerodynamic continuity.
2. The engine pod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said tubular transition part is formed by an annulus, the internal face of which forms the internal face of said tubular transition part.
3. The engine pod as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said annulus forms an integral part of said tubular fan casing.
4. The engine pod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said tubular transition part has a second acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece of resonator type, which has no internal assembly fishplate and the internal face of which forms the internal face of said tubular transition part.
5. The engine pod as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said tubular fan casing comprises an external annulus extending it on the same side as said tubular air intake and wherein said external annulus surrounds said second acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece of said tubular transition part.
6. The engine pod as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said external annulus is connected removably to said air intake.
7. The engine pod as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said external annulus is secured to said first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece.
8. The engine pod as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said second acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece forms an integral part of said first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece.
9. The engine pod as claimed in claim 1 , in which said tubular air intake is extended, on the opposite side to said fan casing, by a flared air intake peripheral lip, wherein said air intake lip also comprises an acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece, of resonator type, the internal face of which has no assembly fishplate and is in aerodynamic continuity with the internal face of said first acoustic attenuation internal tubular piece.
10. The engine pod as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said fan casing bears, on its internal wall, an aerodynamic sealing tubular coating made of a material capable of being eroded and placed facing the blades of the fan and wherein the internal face of said sealing coating is in aerodynamic continuity with the internal face of said tubular transition part.
