Abstract: A thrust reverser assembly for a turbine engine can include a core engine surrounded by a nacelle. A bypass duct can be formed in the space between the core engine and the nacelle. A blocker door can be movable to a deployed position extending into the bypass duct. A stop can be provided on the core engine to abut and support force applied to the deployed blocker door. The stop can have an airfoil shape.

Abstract: A thrust reverser assembly for high-bypass turbofan engine. The thrust reverser assembly includes a translating cowl mounted to a nacelle of an engine. The thrust reverser assembly includes blocker doors axially guided adjacent first ends thereof by a fixed structure and pivotally and slidably connected along lengths thereof to an inner wall of the translating cowl so that translation of the translating cowl in the aft direction causes the blocker door to move from a stowed position to a deployed position. The thrust reverser assembly includes a stop disposed on the core engine or on the blocker door, receiving the load from the high pressure air-flow, otherwise borne by an actuation system when deploying the translating cowl and blocker door.

Abstract: An acoustic liner can include a support layer having a set of partitioned cavities with open faces, a first facing sheet and second facing sheet both having perforations and operably coupled to the support layer such that the facing sheets overlie and close the open faces, and an aerogel layer operably coupled to the second facing sheet.

Abstract: An acoustic liner can comprise a support layer including a set of partitioned cavities defining a set of cells with open faces, as well as a first and second facing sheet operably coupled to the support layer that overlie and close the open faces. A set of aerogel fillings can be provided within at least some of the set of cells.

Abstract: An engine monitoring system for an aircraft engine having a nacelle extending annularly thereabout and a sensor positioned radially inward therefrom. The system includes an engine control device coupled communicatively to the sensor and configured to receive engine data from the sensor and/or receive instruction data from a transmitter device positioned radially outward from a nacelle radially outward surface. The system also includes a composite panel including at least a portion of the nacelle and a ground plane positioned radially inward from the nacelle radially outward surface, the composite panel including an antenna coupled communicatively to engine control device and a radome positioned radially outward from ground plane. The antenna is configured to at least one of receive engine data from the engine control device and transmit engine data to a receiver device, and receive instruction data from the transmitter device and transmit instruction data to the engine control device.

Abstract: An acoustic liner (20) with perforation (30) and method of constructing (100) an acoustic liner including forming perforations in the facing sheet by grit blasting (104) the facing sheet and mounting (106) the facing sheet to one side of a support layer having a set of partitioned cavities wherein the facing sheet closes an open face of the cavities except for the perforations to form a set of acoustic resonator cells.

Abstract: An acoustic liner for a turbine engine, the acoustic liner includes a support layer that includes a set of partitioned cavities with open faces, a perforated sheet that includes a set of perforations with corresponding inlets, the perforated sheet supported by the support layer such that perforations are in overlying relationship with the open faces to form paired perforations and cavities that define acoustic resonator cells, and a coating applied to the perforated sheet.
