  • Publication number: 20240141833
    Abstract: An air intake for an aircraft propulsion system includes an air inlet duct, a core flow duct, a bypass flow duct, and a flow control device. The air inlet duct includes an intake inlet of the air intake. The core flow duct includes a core flow outlet. The core flow duct extends between and to the air inlet duct and the core flow outlet. The bypass flow duct includes a bypass flow outlet. The bypass flow duct extends between and to the air inlet duct and the bypass flow outlet. The bypass flow duct includes an interior surface forming and surrounding a bypass flow passage through the bypass flow duct. The flow control device is disposed on the interior surface. The flow control device is configured to variably control an area of a cross-sectional flow area of the bypass flow passage.

  • Publication number: 20240141832
    Abstract: An air intake for an aircraft propulsion system includes an air inlet duct and a flow control device. The air inlet duct includes an interior surface and an intake inlet. The interior surface extends from the intake inlet. The interior surface forms and surrounds an inlet flow passage through the air inlet duct. The intake inlet includes a top side, a bottom side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side. Each of the first lateral side and the second lateral side extend between and to the top side and the bottom side. The flow control device is disposed inside the air inlet duct at the first lateral side. The flow control device is configured to form an asymmetrical shape of the intake inlet at the first lateral side relative to the second lateral side.

  • Patent number: 11965460
    Abstract: An air intake for an aircraft propulsion system includes an air inlet duct, a core flow duct, a bypass flow duct, a splitter, and a flow control device. The air inlet duct includes an intake inlet and a gas path floor. The core flow duct includes a core flow outlet. The bypass flow duct includes a bypass flow outlet. The bypass flow duct includes the gas path floor. The splitter separates the core flow duct and the bypass flow duct. The flow control device is disposed on a portion of the gas path floor. The flow control device is configured to be selectively positioned to control an air flow path for air flowing through the air inlet duct, the core flow duct, and the bypass flow duct.

  • Patent number: 11952962
    Abstract: An exhaust duct of an aircraft engine includes an annular inlet conduit having an inlet central axis, and at least two outlet conduits in flow communication with the inlet conduit. The at least two outlet conduits are located non-parallel to the inlet central axis. Each of the at least two outlet conduits include an outlet port defining a distal end of each of the two outlet conduits. At least one of the outlet ports is non-circular in cross-sectional shape.

  • Patent number: 11919654
    Abstract: An aircraft engine, has: an inlet leading to a compressor section, the inlet extending circumferentially around a central axis; an annular inlet duct extending circumferentially around the central axis, the annular inlet duct having a duct inlet fluidly connected to an environment outside of the aircraft engine and a duct outlet fluidly connected to the inlet, the duct outlet extending circumferentially around the central axis; and a flow restrictor located within the annular inlet duct, the flow restrictor extending across the annular inlet duct, being movable within the annular inlet duct along a circumferential direction relative to the central axis in response to a fluid pressure differential on opposed sides of the flow restrictor.

  • Patent number: 11319897
    Abstract: Provided are an exhaust duct, an exhaust duct assembly, and an aircraft using the exhaust duct. The exhaust duct has a structure that enables combustion gas to be diverged and discharged from an inlet end to a first outlet end and a second outlet end at respective sides of the exhaust duct. The exhaust duct includes a first housing including a first body forming an outer wall of the inlet end, and further includes second bodies respectively extending on respective sides from the first body and respectively forming the first outlet end and the second outlet end; a second housing spaced apart from the first body, forming an inner wall of the inlet end, and extending curvedly toward the second bodies; and a connection housing connecting the first housing to the second housing and including at least one recess portion recessed toward the inlet end.

  • Patent number: 10514003
    Abstract: An exhaust duct for a gas turbine engine has an annular inlet conduit having an inlet axis. At least two outlet conduits branch off from the inlet conduit along respective outlet centerlines that are distinct from one another. The outlet centerlines when projected onto a projection plane perpendicular to the inlet axis are spaced apart from the inlet axis so as not to intersect the inlet axis.
