Pylon for suspending a turboengine
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a mast for the suspension of a bypass turbine engine beneath a wing of an aircraft in which the wing has at least one flap. The mast includes a rear fairing that protrudes rearward of a trailing edge of the wing and is mounted so as to tilt in a deployed downward position as the flap is deployed in a downward position. The rear fairing is positioned to enter a cold flow of the turbine engine, when deployed in the downward position. The rear fairing further supports at least one aerodynamic element that generates vortices that reduce, if not eliminates, vibrations to which the rear fairing is subjected.
1. A mast for the suspension of a bypass turbine engine beneath a wing of an aircraft, said wing being furnished with at least one flap and said mast comprising a rear fairing which protrudes rearward relative to a trailing edge of said wing and which is mounted so as to tilt in a deployed downward position as said flap is deployed in a downward position, said rear fairing entering a cold flow of said turbine engine when in the deployed position, and is subjected to vibrations,
wherein said rear fairing supports at least one aerodynamic element that generates vortices that reduce said vibrations.
2. The mast as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said rear fairing supports two aerodynamic elements that generate vortices, said elements being placed laterally on either side of said rear fairing.
3. The mast as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each aerodynamic element that generates vortices has a shape of an elongated fin.
4. The mast as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said fin is provided with a beveled leading edge.
5. The mast as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said leading edge forms, with a direction parallel to a length of said fin, an angle at least equal to 20 degrees.
6. The mast as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, in a retracted position of said rear fairing, said fin is at least approximately aligned with the local aerodynamic flow.
7. The mast as claimed in claim 3 , wherein, in the deployed position of said rear fairing, said fin forms an angle of at least 10 degrees with said cold flow.
8. The mast as claimed in claim 7 , wherein, in the deployed position of said rear fairing, said fin forms, with said cold flow, an angle ranging between 10 and 30 degrees.
