    摘要: A turbomachinery engine includes a fan assembly, a low-pressure turbine, and a gearbox. The fan assembly includes a plurality of fan blades. The low-pressure turbine includes four rotating stages. The low-pressure turbine includes an area ratio equal to the annular exit area of an aft-most rotating stage of the low-pressure turbine divided by the annular exit area of a forward-most rotating stage of the low-pressure turbine. In some instances, the area ratio is within a range of 2.0-5.1. Additionally (or alternatively) the low-pressure turbine includes an area-EGT ratio within a range of 1.05-1.6.

    摘要: An aircraft including a fuselage, a power generator configured to provide power to the aircraft, and at least one fuel tank for holding fuel for the power generator, and a fuel delivery assembly. The fuel tank is positioned in the fuselage and is configured to hold hydrogen fuel in a liquid phase. The fuel tank has a chamber for holding the hydrogen fuel and a fuel extraction line fluidly coupled to the chamber. The fuel extraction line extends from the fuel tank in a forward direction of the fuselage and at a downward angle relative to a centerline of the fuselage. The fuel delivery assembly is fluidly coupled to the fuel extraction line and fluidly connects the fuel tank to the power generator. The fuel delivery assembly is configured to provide the hydrogen fuel from the fuel tank to the power generator.

    摘要: A turbo engine for an aircraft includes a gas turbine engine having a combustion section and a fuel system to provide pressurized fuel to the combustion section. The fuel system includes a fuel tank and a boost pump and a main pump driven by an accessory gearbox that is powered by a shaft of the turbo engine. The boost pump and the main pump are arranged in series. The fuel system also includes an auxiliary pump and a controller to operate the fuel system in (1) a first mode in which the boost pump and the main pump produce pressurized fuel for the turbo engine and the auxiliary pump is deactivated, and (2) a second mode in which the auxiliary pump is activated and produces the pressurized fuel for the turbo engine while bypassing the boost pump and the main pump.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a hydrogen fuel delivery assembly configured to deliver a hydrogen fuel flow, a compressor section configured to compress air flowing therethrough to provide a compressed air flow, and a combustor including a combustion chamber having a burner length and a burner dome height. The combustion chamber is configured to combust a mixture of the hydrogen fuel flow and the compressed air flow. The combustion chamber can be characterized by a combustor size rating between one inch and seven inches. In more detail, the combustion chamber can be characterized by the combustor size rating between one inch and seven inches at a core air flow parameter between two and one half kN and sixty kN, in which the combustor size rating is a function of the core air flow parameter.
