Engine assembly for aircraft
View Patent ↗The invention relates to an engine suspension pylon for an aircraft including a rigid structure provided with a box ( 24 ), this pylon also including an engine aft attachment ( 8 ) provided with an attachment body ( 38 ), and a thrust resistance device ( 9 ) generated by the engine. The rigid structure according to the invention includes an offset rib ( 35 ) for the attachment body ( 38 ), this rib ( 35 ) being mounted fixed on the box ( 24 ) between the box and the engine ( 2 ) and carrying the attachment body. Furthermore, the device ( 9 ) includes a thrust resistance spar ( 9 b ) of which the forward end is mounted fixed on the rib ( 35 ), and the aft end is mounted fixed on the box.
1. Engine assembly for an aircraft including an engine ( 2 ) and a suspension pylon ( 4 ) for the engine ( 2 ), said pylon including a rigid structure, ( 10 ) provided with a box ( 24 ) formed by the assembly of an upper spar and a lower spar ( 26 , 28 ) and two side panels ( 30 ) connected to each other through transverse ribs ( 32 ), said pylon also including a mounting system ( 11 ) inserted between the engine and said rigid structure ( 10 ), this mounting system particularly including an engine aft attachment ( 8 ) provided with an attachment body ( 38 ), and a device for resistance of thrust forces ( 9 ) generated by the engine, said thrust resistance device ( 9 ) including a cross beam ( 20 ) and two lateral thrust resistance rods ( 9 a ) one aft end of which is articulated onto said cross beam ( 20 ), that is connected onto said attachment body ( 38 ) of the engine aft attachment ( 8 ), characterized in that said rigid structure ( 10 ) also includes an offset rib ( 35 ) for said attachment body ( 38 ) of the engine aft attachment, said offset rib ( 35 ) being mounted fixed on said box ( 24 ) between the box and the engine ( 2 ) and carrying said attachment body ( 38 ), and in that said thrust resistance device ( 9 ) also includes a thrust resistance spar ( 9 b ) of which the forward end is mounted fixed on said offset rib ( 35 ), and the aft end is mounted fixed on said box ( 24 ).
2. Assembly according to claim 1 , characterized in that said resistance spar ( 9 b ) is arranged to move closer to said box ( 20 ) moving in the aft direction.
3. Assembly according to claim 2 , characterized in that a projection is formed in a plane defined by the longitudinal (X) and vertical direction (Z) of the pylon, in which the angle ( 74 ) formed between a direction ( 76 ) of the force resistance connecting rods ( 9 a ) and a direction ( 78 ) of the force resistance spar ( 9 b ) is between −15 and +15 degrees.
4. Assembly according to any one of the previous claims, characterized in that said box ( 24 ) is made from a composite material.
5. Assembly according to claim 1 , characterized in that said offset rib ( 35 ) is metallic.
6. Assembly according to claim 1 , characterized in that a lower structural element ( 28 ) forming part of said box ( 24 ) carries said offset rib ( 35 ).
7. Aircraft characterized in that it includes at least one engine assembly ( 1 ) according to claim 1 .
