Abstract

The disclosed embodiments relates to a jet engine for an aircraft, characterized in that it bears at least one stabilizer, the stabilizer being fastened on the rigid structure of said jet engine so as to form a one-piece assembly. The jet engine can also bear one or more auxiliary devices required for the operation of the jet engine. The disclosed embodiments also relates to an aircraft provided with such a jet engine, and to a method of mounting such a jet engine on an aircraft.

Claims (17)

1. A jet engine for an aircraft, comprising at least one stabilizer and a rigid structure, said stabilizer being ulteriorly fastened on the rigid structure of said jet engine so as to form a one-piece assembly.

2. The jet engine according to claim 1 , further comprising that the stabilizer is fastened to the nozzle of the jet engine.

3. The jet engine according to claim 1 , further comprising that the one-piece assembly comprises at least one auxiliary device required for the operation of said jet engine, said auxiliary device being fastened on the jet engine.

4. The jet engine according to claim 1 , further comprising that the base of the stabilizer, fastened to the jet engine, is ventilated by the air used to cool the jet engine.

5. An aircraft comprising a jet engine according to claim 1 in the aft section of the fuselage, the jet engine comprising at least one stabilizer and a rigid structure, said stabilizer being fastened on the rigid structure of said jet engine so as to form a one-piece assembly.

6. The aircraft according to claim 5 , wherein the jet engine is mounted in cantilever fashion on the aft section of the fuselage, a front section of the jet engine being fastened to the fuselage.

7. The aircraft according to claim 5 , wherein the aft section of the fuselage is beveled so as to form a platform supporting the jet engine.

8. A method of mounting a jet engine on an aircraft, the jet engine comprising at least one stabilizer and a rigid structure, said stabilizer being ulteriorly fastened on the rigid structure of said jet engine so as to form a one-piece assembly, the method comprising:

fastening at least one stabilizer on the structure of the jet engine so as to form a one-piece assembly;

mounting and fastening the one-piece assembly on the aft section of the fuselage.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the one-piece assembly is mounted radially from above on the aircraft.

10. Method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

fastening at least one auxiliary device, which serves for the operation of the jet engine, on said jet engine before mounting and fastening the one-piece assembly on the aft section of the fuselage.

11. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

mounting and fastening an air intake on the fuselage, before mounting and fastening the one-piece assembly, such that the air intake is upstream of the jet engine.

12. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

mounting and fastening an air intake on the fuselage, after having mounted and fastened the one-piece modular assembly, such that the air intake is upstream of the jet engine.
