Abstract
Under-wing pylon for an aircraft which has on the upper side a pin (2) for attaching to the fuselage or to the wings of the aircraft itself, and a connector (3) for connecting the pylon to the aircraft. The pylon has a monolithic framework made with stratified unidirectional and/or woven carbon fibres, impregnated with epoxy resin.
Claims4
An under-wing pylon for an aircraft having on an upper side two points of constraint for attaching said pylon to the fuselage or wings of an aircraft, said points of constraint consisting of a coupling pin (2) and a secondary pin (21), for connecting said under-wing pylon to a fuselage or to wings of the aircraft;
- the pylon comprises a connector (3) adapted to provide special interfaces for installed systems, said pylon having an extended shape, a primary structure (6) having an aerodynamic shaped nose (4), a. tail (5) and a single monolithic framework integrally made through a stratification of unidirectionally arranged and/or woven carbon fibres that are impregnated with resin.
An under-wing pylon for an aircraft having on an upper side only two points of constraint for attaching said pylon directly to the fuselage or wings of an aircraft, said points of constraint consisting of a coupling pin (2) and a secondary pin (21), for connecting said under-wing pylon to a fuselage or to wings of the aircraft;
- the pylon having a connector (3) adapted to provide special interfaces for installed systems, said pylon having an extended shape, a primary structure (6) having an aerodynamic shaped nose (4) a tail (5) and a single monolithic framework that consists of an integral framework made by the stratification of unidirectionlly arranged and/or woven carbon fibres that are impregnated with epoxy resin.
