Processes for fabricating polymer composite materials that contain a polymer matrix, reinforcement fabrics, and particles of a filler material. The processes include spraying the particles of the filler material on at least two articles that each comprise at least one of the reinforcement fabrics to form particle-laden articles. The particle-laden articles are stacked to form a stacked structure, and a resin present within the stacked structure is then cured to form a laminate polymer composite material. The process can be employed in the fabrication of at least a portion of an aircraft engine nacelle, for example, the inlet lip of a fan nacelle.

A system and method thereof is provided for electrically heating a component. The system includes at least one heating element adapted to be adhesively bonded to a surface on the component and means for controlling flow and duration of an electrical current to the heating element from a power supply. The controlling means comprises a first heating cycle for curing an adhesive to bond the heating element to the surface and has a second heating cycle for providing ice protection to the surface.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for producing perforated composite structures, such as acoustic skins suitable for aircraft engine nacelle and duct components. The process includes placing a mat member, a non-impregnated fabric member, and a resin film on a tool surface so that pins disposed on the mat member project through the fabric member and resin film to define holes therein. The fabric member is between the mat member and resin film, and the fabric member and resin film define a stack that conforms to the mat member and tool surface. A caul member is then placed on the stack so that apertures in the caul member are penetrated by the pins. The stack is heated to melt the resin film and cause molten resin to infuse the fabric member and yield a resin-infused fabric stack, after which the molten resin within the resin-infused fabric stack is at least partially cured.
摘要:
A system and method for ice protection of a component, wherein the system is adapted to be adhesively bonded to a surface of the component. The system includes a heating element layer, at least one thermally conductive adhesive layer that adhesively bonds a first side of the heating element layer to the component, an insulation layer, at least one thermally insulating adhesive layer that adhesively bonds a second side of the heating element to the insulation layer, an electrical bus bar adapted to provide a connection between a power supply and the heating element layer, and at least one temperature sensor.
摘要:
An aircraft engine assembly comprising a nacelle configured to surround the aircraft engine having an inlet open to ambient air and an annular acoustic panel provided within the nacelle. Sound emitted from the aircraft engine is attenuated by the annular acoustic panel. The annular acoustic panel comprises an open framework, made from a first material, forming a plurality of cells.

A nacelle for housing an engine includes a fan cowl sized to cover at least a first axial portion of the engine. The engine includes an inlet end, an exhaust end, and an axis extending through the engine from the inlet end through the exhaust end. The fan cowl is coupled to an engine mounting pylon via a slider-type mounting system that includes at least one slider track assembly defining at least one slot therein. The at least one slot is configured to receive at least one fan cowl slider fitting.

A single degree of freedom (SDOF) acoustic liner includes a porous face sheet, a substantially imperforate back sheet generally parallel to and opposing said porous face sheet and defining a thickness therebetween, and an acoustic core layer of contiguous adjacent resonant cavities disposed between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet. The acoustic core layer includes a first resonant cell having a first internal volume therein and a second resonant cell having a second internal volume therein different than the first internal volume. A cell partition wall extends between the porous face sheet and the imperforate back sheet, and separates and seals the first resonant cell from the second resonant cell. In a thickness direction, and perpendicular to a plane generally parallel with the porous face sheet and the substantially imperforate back sheet, the first internal volume overlaps the second internal volume over the cell partition wall.
摘要:
A thrust reverser cascade having a frame and a body. The body comprises multiple layers formed by an additive manufacturing process where at least one of the layers is coupled to the frame.
摘要:
An inner cowl structure for circumscribing at least a portion of a jet engine extending from an aircraft includes an apron configured to mount directly to the engine independent of the pylon and overly an upper portion of the jet engine, and an inner body configured to circumscribe a portion of the jet engine not circumscribed by the apron.
