An ablative thruster includes a nozzle configured to control a flow of thrust from the satellite. The ablative thruster also includes an ablative surface inside of the nozzle, configured to deflect the thrust at a predefined angle. The ablative surface is configured to ablate-away, leaving un-deflected thrust for a majority of the burn.

A combined liner and panel for use in a gas turbine engine comprise a ceramic matrix composite panel having a plurality of extending members extending away from a face of ceramic matrix composite panel which will face hot products of combustion. A liner includes a plurality of spring members that apply a bias force biasing the extending members. The spring members bias the extending members on the panel in a direction away from the face of the panel which will face the hot products of combustion. A gas turbine engine, and a method of attaching a ceramic matrix composite panel to a liner are also disclosed.

A jet noise suppressor including a nozzle having a front end and an opposed rear end, spokes extending radially inward from the nozzle, the spokes defining vents, and a center-body connected to the spokes and in fluid communication with the vents, the center-body being positioned centrally within the nozzle and including a closed front end and an open rear end, wherein the front end of the nozzle entrains a first ambient airflow passing through the nozzle and exiting the rear end of the nozzle proximate a periphery of the nozzle, and wherein the vents entrain a second ambient airflow passing through the center-body and exiting the rear end of the nozzle proximate a center of the nozzle.
摘要:
A turbine engine convergent-divergent nozzle including an annular central element and an annular cap arranged coaxially around the central element to co-operate with the central element to define an annular flow channel for a gas stream from the engine. Between a throat section and an ejection section of the nozzle, the central element and the cap present respective internal profiles in longitudinal section that are modeled by curves having respective radii of curvature that are identical in absolute value.
摘要:
A sandwich structure includes a first skin and a second skin spaced apart from each other and interconnected by a hinge assembly including a first hinge member and a second hinge member. The first hinge member proximal end is coupled to the first skin. The second hinge member proximal end is coupled to the second skin. The first hinge member distal end is coupled to the second member distal end at a member joint. The hinge assembly: prevents movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an in-plane longitudinal direction of the first skin, allows movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an in-plane transverse direction of the first skin, and allows movement of the first skin relative to the second skin in an out-of-plane direction that is normal to the in-plane longitudinal direction and the in-plane transverse direction.

A method for treating a field operated component is disclosed which includes providing the component including a ceramic matrix composite and removing a first portion of the component, forming a first exposed surface on the component. The method further includes providing a second portion including the composite, the second portion having a second exposed surface including a conformation adapted to mate with the first exposed surface. The second portion is positioned in association with the component so as to replace the first portion, and the second portion and the component are joined to form a treated component. Another method is disclosed wherein the component is a turbine component which further includes removing an environmental barrier coating from the component, arranging and conforming the first exposed surface and the second exposed surface to define a joint, and applying an environmental barrier coating to the treated component.
摘要:
A cylindrical case body made of a composite material; a linking ring made of Al, which is fitted and fixed to a rear end portion of the case body and has an annular groove which receives a reverse thrust load from a reverse thrust transmission body; and ring constituent bodies made of Ti alloy, each of which is placed in the rear end portion of the case body and has an arcuate groove which undertakes a reverse thrust load larger than that received by the linking ring, are included. The ring constituent bodies are fitted in notches of the linking ring and are brought into contact with, and are fixed to, outward receiving walls of the linking ring, whereby the ring constituent bodies are positioned relative to the case body in the axis direction and in the radial direction respectively, and the annular groove and the arcuate grooves are allowed to continue to each other. The ring constituent bodies made of Ti alloy, which receive a large reverse thrust load, can be placed with high positioning accuracy. Further, it is possible to allow the ring constituent bodies to undertake the reverse thrust load evenly.
摘要:
A preform can be subject to chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) to define a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) structure, a supplemental preform can be added to the CMC structure to define an expanded structure and CVI can be performed using the expanded structure. The adding of a supplemental preform and performing CVI using the expanded structure can be repeated.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a gas turbine engine assembly comprises an engine assembly disposed about a longitudinal axis, a core nozzle positioned adjacent the engine assembly to direct a core flow generated by the engine assembly, a fan nozzle surrounding at least a portion of the core nozzle to direct a fan flow, wherein the core nozzle defines a plenum to receive a portion of the core stream flow from the core nozzle and a thermoelectric generator assembly positioned in the plenum. Other embodiments may be described.
