Abstract

See full text

An aircraft propulsive power unit comprises an engine, a nacelle structure which houses the engine and which includes displaceable nacelle portions which form a forward part of the nacelle structure and which take up operational positions in which a forward end of each nacelle portion forms part of an intake opening which leads to an intake barrel which is located upstream of the engine for the supply of intake air to the engine and which is secured to a forward component of the engine. Each displaceable nacelle portion includes a lipskin structure which has rearwardly extending outer and inner lipskin edge portions, and further includes an outer main skin. The inner lipskin edge portion in the operational position of each displaceable nacelle portion adjoins the forward end of the intake barrel and the power unit includes support structure to support each displaceable portion while permitting it to pivot outwardly to a displaced position to reveal the inner surface of the outer main skin and to give access to the inner surface and to components mounted thereon.
