Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aircraft pylon for mounting a dual-flow or triple-flow jet engine, the pylon including an upper surface for connection to the aircraft, two side flanks, and a flange on the lower portion of the pylon. The pylon further includes at least one portion that extends downstream from the cold flow nozzle of the jet engine and lies in the cold flow and, on the portion thereof extending into the cold flow beyond the nozzle, at least one opening, positioned on one of the flanks of the pylon, by which an air stream is injected into or drawn from the gas flow that flows along the flanks of the pylon.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An aircraft pylon for supporting a turbojet engine that ejects a gas flow including a primary flow from a primary exit nozzle and a secondary flow from a secondary exit nozzle located radially outwardly with respect to the primary exit nozzle in a plane normal to a flow direction of the primary flow, thereby forming an inner shear layer at a boundary between the primary flow and the secondary flow, and an outer shear layer at a boundary between the seco…
