  • Monolithic particle separators
    Patent number: 11278964
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a monolithic array of particle separators is described that is formed as a single component using an additive manufacturing process. The array may be used as building blocks to generate any sized array of inlet particle separators for jet engines (e.g., a gas turboshaft engine for a helicopter) as desired. If damage occurs to the inlet array during operation of the engine, the modular construction of the inlet array enables the damaged block(s) to be replaced with new blocks, thereby reducing downtime of the aircraft.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 10, 2019
    Date of Patent: March 22, 2022

  • Composite duct with reinforcement
    Patent number: 10823449
    Abstract: A composite duct with reinforcement comprises an inner ply, an outer ply, and a plurality of cellular core rings. The inner ply forms a channel with a circular cross-section. The plurality of cellular core rings is positioned at set intervals along a length of the composite duct and between the inner ply and the outer ply.
