摘要: A gas turbine engine defines an axial direction and a radial direction and comprises a turbomachine having an unducted primary fan, a core engine a combustor casing enclosing a combustor and defining an outer surface, a core cowl surrounding at least a portion of the core engine. The outer surface of the core cowl defines a peak cowl diameter (D) in the radial direction, and the outer surface of the combustor casing defines a maximum combustor casing diameter (d) along the radial direction. The core engine defines an overall core axial length (L) along the axial direction and an under-core cowl axial length (L1) along the axial direction. The gas turbine engine defines a core cowl diameter ratio (CDR) equal to the peak cowl diameter (D) divided by the maximum combustor casing diameter (d) and a core cowl length ratio (CLR) equal to the under-core cowl axial length (L1) divided by the overall core axial length (L). The CDR is between 2.7 and 3.5 and the CLR is between 0.25 and 0.50.

摘要: A hybrid electric propulsion system is provided that includes a thermal engine, at least one electric generator, at least one lubrication fluid pump, at least one electric motor, and a controller. The electric generator is driven by the thermal engine, and is configured to produce electrical power. The lubrication fluid pump is configured to provide a volumetric flow rate of lubrication fluid to at least one component of the thermal engine. The electric motor is configured to drive the lubrication fluid pump using electrical power from the electric generator. The controller is in communication with the electric motor and a memory device storing instructions, which instructions when executed cause the controller to control the electric motor to drive the lubrication fluid pump to produce lubrication fluid at a determined volumetric fluid flow rate to the at least one component of the thermal engine.

摘要: A buoyancy powered electrical generator. A source of compressed gas is provided. The gas, which may be air, is compressed using a conventional compressor. In one embodiment, the compressor is powered by a windmill, turbine, or other conventional means. The compressed gas may be stored in a tank for an indefinite period. If necessary, the tank may be transported to the generator via truck, train or other conventional transportation means. During generation, compressed gas is released into a series of hollow, flooded drums mounted on a wheel in a liquid filled chamber. Introducing gas into the drums closes a valve in the drums and evacuates liquid from the drums, causing the drums to become buoyant. The buoyant drums exert a buoyant force on the wheel, causing it to rotate. The wheel is connected to a rotor in a magnetic generator. Rotating the wheel turns the rotor, thereby generating electricity.

摘要: An engine system of an aircraft includes an energy storage system, a gas turbine engine, and a controller. The gas turbine engine includes a low spool, a high spool, a low-spool generator operably coupled to the low spool, and a high-spool electric motor operably coupled to the high spool. The controller is configured to detect a braking condition of the aircraft, transfer power from the low-spool generator to the energy storage system based on the storage capacity state of the energy storage system, and transfer power to the high spool through the high-spool electric motor to support combustion in the gas turbine engine while a rotational speed of the low spool is reduced responsive to the low-spool generator extracting energy from the low spool.

摘要: An assembly for mounting an auxiliary component to an engine case for a gas turbine engine includes a support bracket and a locator. The locator includes a fusible guide pin extending at least partially into a first aperture disposed in the support bracket, and a catcher pin extending at least partially into a second aperture disposed in the support bracket. The fusible guide pin is configured to fracture to absorb energy while the catcher pin limits system displacement during and post an overload event, thus reducing the energy transmitted to the auxiliary component (e.g., a gearbox housing). The locator can further include an anti-rotation pin extending from the plate member and configured to be received by the auxiliary component. The anti-rotation pin prevents rotation of the locator, about a third pin of the locator, with respect to the auxiliary component when the fusible guide pin is broken.

摘要: An aircraft propulsion system having a variable airflow capture area is provided. The propulsion system includes a main propulsion source and an auxiliary propulsion source. In a first mode, the auxiliary propulsion source is stowed within an aerodynamic profile of the aircraft, and the main propulsion source provides all of the propulsion force for powering flight of the aircraft. In a second mode, the auxiliary propulsion source is deployed to augment the airflow capture area of the main propulsion source and increase an overall airflow capture area of the propulsion system. In the second mode, the auxiliary power source is operated by power extracted from the main propulsion source. The main propulsion source may include one or more low bypass ratio engines. The auxiliary power source may include one or more auxiliary thrust fans coupled at a plurality of locations on the aircraft.
