A vertical take off and land (VTOL) jet aircraft may have a jet engine mounted in a forward portion of the aircraft. A thrust deflection assembly may be provided rearward of the jet engine, and include a cascade and control box for deflecting thrust during vertical flight of the aircraft. By manipulating the cascade and control box, the roll, yaw and pitch of the aircraft during vertical flight may be controlled. In addition, ailerons, a rudder and elevators may be provided for controlling roll, yaw and pitch during forward flight. A pilot control input apparatus is also provided, which receives pilot input regarding desired roll, yaw and pitch of the aircraft. The pilot control input is operatively associated with a control mixer, which controls the control box, ailerons, rudder and elevators in accordance with the desired roll, yaw and pitch of the aircraft. As a result, the pilot uses the same control input apparatus for vertical and forward flight.

In order to establish a larger dome height to thereby increase combustion volume within the same turbine engine envelope, the inner wall region of an annular combustor is formed to define a thrust nozzle which in turn provides an enhanced combustion zone. The turbine engine will include a rotary compressor and a turbine wheel coupled to the rotary compressor for driven movement thereof along with an annular nozzle proximate the turbine wheel for directing gases of combustion thereat. The annular combustor will be disposed about the turbine wheel and defined by a radially extending wall region connecting the inner wall region to an outer wall region such that the annular combustor has a combustion zone upstream of the annular nozzle and a dilution air zone intermediate the annular nozzle and the combustion zone. The turbine engine will operate such that the annular combustor combusts fuel from a fuel source and air from the rotary compressor to generate the gases of combustion which are directed at the turbine wheel by the annular nozzle for driven movement of the turbine wheel and the rotary compressor. By reason of the thrust nozzle being axially adjacent the turbine wheel and radially inwardly of the annular combustor, the turbine engine has a generally annular expanded combustion zone relative to the dilution zone within the same turbine engine envelope.

A nacelle for a gas turbine engine includes a ring shaped body defining a center axis and having a radially outward surface and a radially inward surface. An aft portion of the radially inward surface includes an axially extending convergent-divergent exit nozzle. An axially extending secondary duct passes through the nacelle in the convergent-divergent exit nozzle. The axially extending secondary duct includes an inlet at a convergent portion of the convergent-divergent exit nozzle and an outlet at a divergent portion of the convergent-divergent exit nozzle.

The fan comprises a fan disk able to be rotationally driven about a longitudinal axis and provided at the periphery with radial blades each comprising a root slideably engaged in a groove of the disk and, on the outside thereof, a vane, platforms surrounding the disk being interposed between the radial blades. Advantageously, the fan additionally comprises shock-absorbing wedges which are arranged tangentially at the exterior periphery of said disk underneath the platforms and between two roots of adjacent radial blades, each wedge being in tangential contact with the two adjacent blades.

The present subject matter overcomes the deficiencies in the prior art by introducing or generating charged particles in an air stream and manipulating the air stream with magnetic fields operating on the charged particles. Embodiments of the present subject matter compress the air stream by accelerating charged particles with a moving magnetic field, where the magnetic field has a velocity perpendicular to its flux lines. The increased velocity of the charged particles increases the statistical mean particle velocity and thereby increases the pressure in the air stream. The compressed air stream is then heated and expanded through a second magnetic field. The expansion of the air stream substantially increases the velocity of the air stream and the charged particles therein. The interaction of the high velocity charged particles and the magnetic field imparts a force perpendicular to the flux lines, this force powers the movement of the magnetic field and can also be extracted in the form of mechanical work.

A turbine engine convergent-divergent nozzle including an annular central element and an annular cap arranged coaxially around the central element to co-operate with the central element to define an annular flow channel for a gas stream from the engine. Between a throat section and an ejection section of the nozzle, the central element and the cap present respective internal profiles in longitudinal section that are modeled by curves having respective radii of curvature that are identical in absolute value.

The divergent segment comprises a stationary divergent portion and a movable divergent portion suitable for occupying a retracted position and a deployed position. The threaded rod has a head suitable for being supported by a support secured to the stationary divergent portion in cooperation with rotary drive means for driving the threaded rod in rotation, and a tip suitable for being inserted in a holder sleeve secured to the stationary divergent portion. The threaded rod is suitable for co-operating with a nut secured to the movable divergent portion so that rotation of said rod causes the movable divergent portion to move. The tip presents an enlargement having at least one groove passing axially therethrough.

A turbine engine pipe having a longitudinal axis, which, at an upstream end thereof, includes an outer wall and a core, only an upstream portion of which is surrounded by the outer wall. The boundary between the upstream portion and a downstream portion is defined by the intersection between the core and the surface formed by bisectors of acute angles formed by straight lines perpendicular to the outer wall and straight lines perpendicular to an outer surface of the core passing through the downstream end of the outer wall. The outer surface of the downstream portion of the core has a sharply curved convex region close to the boundary, the region having a radius of curvature in a radial plane of less than 30 times the radius of the core at the boundary, and a first slightly curved region between the boundary and the sharply curved convex region.
