Abstract

See full text

An aircraft comprises a turbine engine suspended from a wing by means of a pylon. Compressed hot air is bled off from the turbine engine. A bleed air duct in the wing conveys the compressed hot air towards a fuselage. In order to prevent overheating of aircraft parts that are relatively close to the bleed air duct, the following solution is proposed. The pylon comprises an opening with a covering structure projecting into a bypass exhaust flow from the turbine engine. The covering structure leaves a slit facing away from the bypass exhaust flow. An airflow path extends from openings in the wing to the slit left by the covering structure.
