  • Inlet turbine and transmission for high-mach engines
    Patent number: 10934942
    Abstract: A high-Mach engine includes a gas turbine core, an inlet assembly, and a transmission. The inlet assembly including an inlet turbine and the transmission configured to couple the inlet turbine and a core turbine of the gas turbine core cooperate to control air moving through the high-Mach engine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 2, 2021
    Assignee: Rolls-Royce North American Technologies Inc.
    Inventors: Douglas D. Dierksmeier, Edward C. Rice, Steven W. Tomlinson, Bradley E. Auker, Donald Klemen
  • Inlet turbine for high-mach engines
    Patent number: 10794282
    Abstract: An inlet assembly for a high-mach engine includes a gas turbine core, an inlet turbine, and a core-flow director. When in a closed position, the core-flow director forces air to interact with the inlet turbine before entering the gas turbine core.
