摘要： A gas turbine engine includes a variable area nozzle having a plurality of flaps. The flaps are actuated by a plurality of actuating mechanisms driven by shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators to vary fan exist nozzle area. The SMA actuator has a deformed shape in its martensitic state and a parent shape in its austenitic state. The SMA actuator is heated to transform from martensitic state to austenitic state generating a force output to actuate the flaps. The variable area nozzle also includes a plurality of return mechanisms deforming the SMA actuator when the SMA actuator is in its martensitic state.

摘要： An exhaust induced ejector nozzle (20) includes a convergent portion (30) and a divergent portion (34) disposed downstream from the convergent portion (30). The ejector nozzle (20) also includes an ejector (40) having an outlet (46) disposed within the divergent portion (34). The ejector (40) is operable to provide entrainment of a nacelle airflow (18) from a nacelle airflow area (44) into the divergent portion (34). The ejector nozzle (20) further includes a convergent ejector (60) extending between the convergent portion (30) and the nacelle airflow area (44). The convergent ejector (60) is operable to draw a portion of an exhaust airflow (42) into the nacelle airflow area (44) to increase a flow rate of the nacelle airflow (18).

摘要： A turbofan exhaust nozzle includes a jet pipe having a pair of thrust reverser doors disposed on opposite sides thereof. Each door has a hinge arm joined to a swing arm, which in turn is joined to the pipe. Each door also includes a latching clip at a forward end, and a deployment clevis between the clip and hinge arm. A common actuator is connected to both doors by corresponding links joined to the clevises for driving the links aft to pivot aft the doors and swing arms. A first lock selectively locks the latching clip and a second lock selectively locks the swing arms in coordination with the first lock for permitting variable area axial movement of the doors, thrust reverser deployment thereof, and retraction to stowed positions of the doors.

摘要： The invention relates to a wide-vectoring, axisymmetric turbojet-engine exhaust nozzle including vectoring structure (12) supporting a plurality of converging flaps (21). The vectoring structure is mounted on the downstream end of an exhaust housing (2) by means of an intermediate ring (9) which is pivotable about a first axis relative to the exhaust housing (2) and further about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and relative to the vectoring structure (12). The converging flaps (21) hinge on the downstream end of the vectoring structure (12). A single drive ring (27) controlled by three linear actuators (28) and linked by linkrods (24) to the converging flaps (21) controls the tipping of the vectoring structure (12) and the kinematics of the flaps (21).

摘要： The cooling of the exhaust nozzle of a fan jet engine powering aircraft is enhanced by providing an extension cooling concept that includes an extension piece extending axially downstream of the nozzles variable throat that utilizes fan air to cool the forward portion of the divergent nozzle surfaces adjacent to the gas path of the engine and ram air to cool the surfaces downstream of the ejector. A variable vane varies the area of the ejector slot as a function of Aj for compensating for flow losses at off-design points of the nozzle positions during the flight envelope of the aircraft so as to avoid overtemperature of the components.

摘要： A variable geometry exhaust nozzle 10 for a turbine engine includes convergent and divergent flaps 12, 18 that circumscribe a gaspath 26 and define convergent and divergent nozzle sections 30, 32 with a throat 34 therebetween. A projection 56, which resides on the divergent flaps, extends radially inwardly from the nozzle. The nozzle also includes a coolant flowpath comprising an interior space 44 in the nozzle, an intake 58 for admitting coolant C into the interior space, and a coolant outlet 60 aft of the intake for discharging the coolant from the interior space. The intake resides forward of the throat. During operation, a coolant film flows along the radially inner surface of the nozzle. The projection encourages a portion of the coolant film to enter and flow through the the coolant flowpath to convectively cool the nozzle. The location of the intake, forward of the throat, takes advantage of the locally high gaspath pressure to ensure that an adequate quantity of the coolant enters and flows through the coolant flowpath.

摘要： A vectoring ring support and actuation apparatus is provided for transferring the side loads acting on a vectoring ring and generated by a gas turbine engine thrust vectoring nozzle to a relatively stationary portion of the engine and tilting the vectoring ring to vector the thrust of the nozzle. The apparatus includes an axially pivotable first link pivotably mounted on a relatively stationary first portion of the engine, an axially pivotable second link pivotably supported by and connected to the first link, and a vectoring ring connected to an aft end of the second link. An actuator is operably mounted between a relatively stationary second portion of the engine (spaced axially apart from the stationary first portion of the engine) and the second link to axially pivot the first link with respect. Preferably a first joint links the actuator to the second link and has at least first and second rotational degrees of freedom with corresponding first and second perpendicular axes of rotation. A second joint may be used to pivotably connect the second link to the first link and has one rotational degree of freedom and a third axis of rotation co-linear with one of the first and second perpendicular axes of rotation. The first joint is preferably a ball joint having three rotational degrees of freedom.
