View page
US Patent:
8438857, May 14, 2013
Filed:
Apr 7, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/755589

International Classification:
F02C 1/00
US Classification:
60772, 602261, 244 53 B, 137 151, 4152151
Abstract:
An inlet assembly for an aircraft engine nacelle includes an inner barrel, an outer barrel radially spaced from the inner barrel, and a rear support for supporting the outer barrel relative to the inner barrel. The rear support includes at least one radially extending stiffener and at least one energy absorber defining a zone of deformation adjacent the inner barrel. The rear support is deformable in the zone of deformation in response to forces applied during a fan blade-out event to prevent fracture of the rear support.
