An acoustic panel for integration in a nacelle of an aircraft engine
assembly for absorbing noise generated by an engine or a fan assembly of
the aircraft engine assembly. The acoustic panel comprises a generally
annular section integrated into or attached to an inner wall of the inlet
section, and a flange extending generally perpendicularly from the
annular section. The flange attaches the acoustic panel to a bulkhead
without requiring the use of fasteners extending through the annular
section of the acoustic panel, thus eliminating any unwanted air passages
through the annular section of the acoustic panel.
