Abstract
The invention relates to an air intake for an aircraft nacelle that includes a shroud that can be mounted on the fan casing of a turbojet engine. The shroud is sized so as to define a circumferential gap relative to the casing. Punctual linking means between the shroud and the casing are discretely distributed at the periphery of the shroud.
Claims10
An air intake for aircraft nacelle comprising a shroud being mounted on a fan casing of a turbojet engine, said shroud being dimensioned to define a circumferential gap relative to said casing, the shroud comprising discrete support beams distributed equidistantly around a circumference of the shroud, the support beams directly connecting said shroud to said casing without any intermediate connection part between said shroud and said casing, wherein the air intake does not include any structural member to connect said shroud to said casing circumferentially between the support beams, thereby allowing for radial movements of the shroud relative to the casing between the support beams.
