Abstract

A method for detecting an anomaly in a system of an aircraft, including obtaining a current series of measurements of one or more physical quantities of the system, during a time period when the system is in operation; —on the basis of the current series of measurements, providing, by an encoder-decoder, a current reconstructed series; and —comparing the reconstructed current series with the current series of measurements in order to obtain a current series of anomalies. The method further includes computing a current distribution function of the current series of anomalies; —computing an area separating the current distribution function from a reference distribution function; and —comparing the area with a predefined threshold.

Abstract

A cascade (22) of vanes for a cascade thrust reverser (19) for an aircraft propulsion assembly nacelle comprises: a first bladed stage (22A) and a second bladed stage (22B), which are superimposed, each comprising rows of vanes (50A, 50B) and of spars (52A, 52B) which cross over one another so as to form a cellular structure (53A, 53B) for the passage of the air flow; and front (40) and rear (42) end flanges each rigidly connected to all or some of the spars of at least one of the bladed stages. The cellular structures are connected to each other, independently of the front and rear end flanges, by connecting means (66) configured to block relative displacements between the cellular structures. This results in good thrust reversal performance, compatibility with inexpensive manufacturing processes, and a reduction in vibration instability and aerodynamic disturbances.

Abstract

A method for controlling the application of a patch can include the following steps: positioning a patch on a surface to be covered by means of a gripper and with or without partial overlapping with adjacent patches; acquiring by means of an optical control means at least one image of the positioned patch; detecting defects in the positioning of the patch by identifying differences in the thickness of the patch on the surface to be covered based on the at least one image of the positioned patch; and mapping the defects in the positioning of the patch.

Abstract

The invention relates to a jet deflection module (26) for a thrust reverser (10) of an aircraft turbine engine, this module (26) extending in a surface (P) and including: - longitudinal members (32) which are spaced apart from one another and parallel to one another; - at least one deflection element which extends between the longitudinal members (32) and which is connected to these longitudinal members (32); and - two attachment profiles, front (36) and rear (38), respectively, which are connected to the longitudinal members (32), these two profiles (36, 38) forming, with two of these longitudinal members (32), a peripheral contour of the module, characterised in that a first of the attachment profiles (36, 38) comprises a plurality of hooks (70) at a distance from one another, each of these hooks (70) comprising at least one opening (72) oriented perpendicularly to the surface (P) and additionally a bearing surface (74) parallel to this surface (P).
