Aircraft engine pylon with inbuilt multifunctional framework

Abstract

The invention seeks to get around the problems of mass and complexity of pylons made up of assembled box sections. In order to do so, the invention effectively proposes organizing the engine-wing interface around a substantially uniform framework configured to incorporate the multiple functions (transmission, safety) and house the pylon equipment (extinguishers, heat exchanger etc.). This framework forms a structural assembly capable of transmitting load and of forming an aerodynamic fairing suited to this framework. A pylon according to the invention comprises a single structural and multifunctional framework (10) made up of main canals (11; 11a to 11e) housing equipment and transmission systems (41a to 41c) between the engine and the wing structure, and a latticework (20) of arms (12) and of nodes (13) connecting the arms together. These arms (12) and/or canals (11; 11a to 11e) being able to attach fairing cowls (14) to form an aerodynamic fairing with a configuration that is predetermined by a pre-established positioning of the arms (12) and of the canals (11; 11a to 11e).
