摘要:
A turboshaft engine includes a core section extending between an inlet and an outlet of the turboshaft engine. The core section includes a compressor, a main combustor, and a main turbine, such that combustion products from the main combustor drives rotation of the turbine and the compressor. A power turbine is fluidly connected to the main turbine and driven by exhaust from the main turbine. A primary bypass is fluidly connected to the inlet and the outlet. The primary bypass directs a portion of an airflow entering the inlet around the core section to the outlet. A secondary bypass is located in the core section and is configured to divert a portion of a core airflow of the core section around the main combustor and the main turbine to the power turbine.

The engine (10) includes a low spool (16) disposed aft of an air inlet (12) and a high spool (34) disposed aft of the low spool (16). An intake reverse-duct (44) is disposed radially outward of the high spool (34) and reverses direction of low pressure compressed air from the low spool (16) into a forward-flow high pressure compressor (40) of the high spool (34). A discharge reverse-manifold (48) directs flow of an exhaust gas stream (50} from a forward-flow low pressure turbine (20) into a rearward-flow direction and into at least one pulse detonation firing tube (54). An annular bypass air duct (72) directs cooling air along the engine (10)—The at least, one firing tube is positioned radially outward of the high spool (34), overlies the high spool (34) and is also positioned within the bypass air duct (72).

Methods and apparatus for generating thrust from a gas turbine engine using a pulse detonation system is provided. The gas turbine engine includes a fan assembly, and a bypass duct channeling air to a core engine and the pulse detonation system. The method includes injecting a charge of fuel into a pulse detonation tube that is coupled radially outward from the core engine, and controlling a supply of air from the fan into the pulse detonation tube through an opening in the inlet end of the pulse detonation tube using a rotary valve that is positioned radially outward from the core engine.

A carbureted flameholder (30) with optial cooling is provided for a bypass turbojet-engine. The flameholder (30) comprises a body (34) which extends radially into the primary flow. The body (34) is formed by a V-dihedral having two outer plates (35, 36) which intersect at a common ridge apex (37). An air tube (38) is mounted between the two outer plates (35, 36) and at least one fuel conduit (44, 45) is disposed to the rear of the air tube (38). The overall cross-section of the air tube (38) is approximately triangular and the air tube (38) includes a transverse downstream wall that is curved to define a trough (42) in which the fuel conduit (44, 45) is located. The air tube (38) includes orifices (41, 46) directed against the dihedral plates (35, 36) and the fuel conduit (44, 45) to cool them. The fuel conduit includes a nozzle injector (46) directed downstream towards the afterburner chamber (23).
摘要:
A method of preventing instabilities due to combustion in a multi-flow turbojet engine including an afterburner into which an air-fuel mixture is injected in proportions measured in richness terms, which includes the steps of detecting experimentally, when tuning the turbojet engine, the zones of vibrations due to afterburn as a function of the operating conditions of the engine and as a function of the afterburn operating region, and selecting operating points for regulating the fuel richness of each flow to enable the detected vibration zones to be avoided.

A combined turbofan and ramjet aircraft engine includes a forward bypass duct which allows the engine to operate more efficiently during the turbofan mode of operation. By mounting a ramjet preburner in the forward duct and isolating this duct from the turbofan bypass air, a transition from turbofan operation to ramjet operation can take place at lower flight Mach numbers without incurring pressure losses or blockage in the turbofan bypass air.

A flow diverter arrangement for an aircraft comprises a first duct 17 for receiving propulsion fluid from the powerplant 11 and delivering it to a first location 18, a second duct 19 merging with the first duct 17 at a communication aperture 23 and adapted to deliver propulsion fluid to a second location, a flap member 24 pivotted for movement between a first position in which it closes the communication aperture 23 and a second position in which it closes the first duct, and a diverter device 31 for diverting propulsion fluid into the second duct when the flap member is in its second position.
摘要:
A flow mixer and flame stabilizer structure for an afterburner of a turbofan engine is disclosed having a variable mixer to mix a portion of the cold flow with the hot flow gasses and which also forms a flame stabilizer for a secondary afterburner fuel injection manifold which injects fuel into the cold flow air during afterburner operation. The device forms a flame stabilizer around the secondary, annular fuel injection manifold and has a generally "U" shaped cross-section. One of the legs forming the "U" shape is fixed, while the opposite leg is movable so as to vary the downstream facing opening between the legs. The movable leg also blocks a portion of the cold flow duct to generate localized increases in pressure upstream of the stabilizer. An air scoop located in this upstream portion communicates with the primary afterburner flame stabilizer to direct pressurized air to cool the primary flame stabilizer.
