  • Patent number: 11248562
    Abstract: A jet engine has an inlet 11 configured to introduce air, and a combustor 12 having a fuel injection port 30a that injects a fuel, and configured to combust the fuel injected from the fuel injection port 30a by using the air. The combustor 12 has a separation section 14 defining the air passage FA through which the air flows, between a rear end 15 of the inlet and the fuel injection port 30a. A plurality of turbulent flow generating sections (20;25) are arranged in the separation section 14 to makes the air flow turbulent. Each of the plurality of turbulent flow generating sections (20;25) contains a member (21;22;25B) which can restrain the turbulence of the air flow by moving or disappearing. It can be prevented that a high-pressure region reaches the inlet so that the thrust of the jet engine is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20190249957
    Abstract: A command control system includes an interception predicting section and an assigning section. The interception predicting section calculates a predicted intercept point of a target to be shot down and a guided missile to shoot down the target. The assigning section acquires first weather data of the predicted intercept point, and generates a launching instruction based on the first weather data so as to launch one of a first guided missile and a second guided missile as the guided missile. A method by which the first guided missile detects the target and a method by which the second guided missile detects the target are different.

  • Publication number: 20190017706
    Abstract: A jet engine has an inlet, and a combustor with a fuel injection opening. The combustor has wall sections that define an air flow path. The wall section has a ramp section with a ramped surface and a first wall surface extending from an end of the ramped surface on the front side. The fuel injection opening is arranged in the ramp section. A ramped angle ? of the ramped surface to the first wall surface is equal to or more than 13.5 degrees. The height of the ramp section protruding from the first wall surface is equal to or less than ? of the height of the entrance of combustor. In this way, the ramp angle of the ramped surface of the ramp section is made large to promote mixing of fuel and air, and flame stabilization behind the ramp section is made possible.
