Abstract: Electric aircraft power plants and associated methods are provided. One power plant includes an emergency power unit (EPU) for providing electric power in the event of a malfunction of a battery pack of an electric aircraft to permit the electric aircraft to make an emergency maneuver. The EPU includes a rocket engine for generating a stream of exhaust fluid using a rocket propellant, a turbine operatively connected to extract energy from the stream of exhaust fluid generated by the rocket engine, and an electric generator operatively connected to be driven by the turbine and to supply electric power to an electric motor propelling the electric aircraft.

Abstract: A fluid cooler for installation in a bypass duct of a turbofan gas turbine engine and associated methods are provided. The fluid cooler includes an inlet duct, a heat exchanger and an outlet duct. The inlet duct includes an inlet protruding into the bypass duct to receive a portion of the bypass air into the inlet duct. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the inlet duct. The heat exchanger facilitates heat transfer between a fluid and the portion of bypass air received into the inlet duct. The heat exchanger defines a general flow direction for the portion of bypass air that is different from the main flow direction of bypass air inside the bypass duct. The outlet duct conveys the portion of bypass air from the heat exchanger back to the bypass duct.

Abstract: Methods and systems for filtering pressurized air used to control a compressor bleed valve of a gas turbine engine are provided. One method comprises receiving the pressurized air in a conduit via an inlet of the conduit, releasing a first portion of the pressurized air out of the conduit via an outlet of the conduit, releasing a second portion of the pressurized air from the conduit via a port disposed between the inlet and the outlet of the conduit, directing the second portion of the pressurized air from the port to a filter along an upward flow path, filtering the second portion of the pressurized air using the filter, and directing the second portion of the pressurized air from the filter toward the compressor bleed valve.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine rotor assembly is provided that includes a shaft, a rotor, and a seal assembly. The seal assembly is configured to seal between a first and second rotor compartments on opposite sides of the seal assembly. The seal assembly includes a seal groove and a split piston ring seal. The split piston ring seal is configured such that air in the first rotor compartment at P1 produces a radial force acting on the split piston ring seal, and air in the second rotor compartment at P2 produces a second force acting on the split piston ring seal, wherein the second force is directed radially inward and the first force is directed radially outward, and the second force is greater than the first force.

Abstract: An orifice pack is provided for delivering pressurized air to a compressor bleed valve of a gas turbine engine. The orifice pack has a diffusion chamber in serial flow communication with a tapering passage and a first outlet passage for venting a first portion of the pressurized air from the diffusion chamber. A second outlet passage branches off from the diffusion chamber at an axial location between the inlet and the tapering passage. The second outlet passage is fluidly connected to the compressor bleed valve for directing a second portion of the pressurized air from the diffusion chamber to the compressor bleed valve.

Abstract: A fan nose cone is disclosed for impeding icing and recovering momentum in a gas turbine engine. The fan nose cone comprises: an axially symmetric shell having a convex external surface and an internal surface, the shell having an opening in a forward end of the shell for communication with a source of heated pressurized air; and an axially symmetric deflector disposed forward of the opening, the deflector being configured to direct heated pressurized air exiting from the opening radially outwardly to flow in a downstream direction over the convex external surface of the shell during operation. The shell of the fan nose cone may have a rearward circumferential vent in communication with the source of heated pressurized air for directing heated pressurized from the vent in a radially outward and downstream direction toward the fan blade platforms.
