  • Patent number: 7506499
    Abstract: A turbofan jet engine includes an outer casing supported by arms, an inner casing facing the outer casing, ancillaries, and an ancillaries distribution support. The ancillaries distribution support is formed along the axis of an arm on the inner casing. The ancillaries distribution support includes a first sole plate for reception of ancillaries on the outer side of the inner casing and a second sole plate for reception of ancillaries on the inner side of the inner casing. Such a turbofan jet engine reduces the longitudinal dimension necessary for the ancillaries to pass through.

  • Patent number: 6474596
    Abstract: A suspension system for an aircraft powerplant attached to an aircraft frame and having a housing. The suspension system includes a spindle mounted in a spindle support rigidly joined to the aircraft frame, a bearing cage affixed to the housing and having a bearing positioned therein, a pair of suspension arms connected to the spindle support, and a pair of lateral linkrods configured to link the housing and the suspension arms. The side surfaces of the bearing cage and the suspension arms define a clearance therebetween concentric to the Y-axis. The bearing cage is configurable along the spindle such that the bearing cage is limited to displacement relative to the longitude of the spindle while maintaining contact with the spindle.

  • Patent number: 6129509
    Abstract: The particle trap (15) that extends behind an elbow in the air flow stream (6) in a turbo-prop engine is delimited at the back by an end plate (12) to which intake housing suspension rods (10) supporting the front of the rotating shaft (2), are fastened. It is divided by suspension arms (11) which may be drilled (21) to restore the continuity of the annular chamber forming the trap. Therefore the intake housing suspension device extends through the trap. This type of trap makes use of the inertia of solid bodies carried by the air drawn in, and which could damage the engine blades, and to collect them.

  • Patent number: 5806793
    Abstract: A cooling device for an aircraft turboshaft engine includes a boundary layer suction device formed by a perforated external wall portion of the aircraft, a collector on the inside of the wall portion for receiving the air flowing in through the perforations, and a discharge device discharging the air from the collector. The cooling device is completed by a heat exchanger which is disposed in the path of the air flow through the collector, a pump for pumping fluid to be cooled through the heat exchanger from a circuit of the engine, and a regulator regulating the fluid flow through the exchanger to control the temperature of the fluid. The fluid which is cooled may be from the lubrication circuit, the fuel circuit, or an air circuit of the engine, and the boundary layer suction device is preferably disposed in the pod of the engine.

  • Patent number: 5524430
    Abstract: A combustion chamber for a gas-turbine engine is disclosed in which the walls defining the combustion chamber may be easily attached to and removed from the engine structure. A dome member is attached to the engine structure such that it partially encloses the fuel injector nozzle in an upstream direction. The shape of the dome-member is such that it splits the incoming oxidizer flow into inner and outer flows which pass along the inner and outer sides of the combustion chamber. The inner and outer walls of the combustion chamber may be attached to an upstream end wall of the combustion chamber such that this assembly is removable as a unit from the dome member. The inner and outer walls, as well as the end wall, are releasably attached to the dome member such that the assembly can be removed from the gas-turbine engine without the necessity of removing or displacing the fuel injector nozzles or the dome member.

  • Patent number: 5347807
    Abstract: A jet engine includes a gas turbine, peripheral ramjet channels located oide the gas turbine and including burners wherein a gas circulation stream in the engine is subdivided over part of its length into a central turbojet stream which flows through the gas turbine, the peripheral ramjet channels and peripheral discharge channels terminating by flowing into a part of the gas circulation stream downstream of the turbine. A plurality of flaps are provided for opening and closing the central stream. A ring surrounds the central stream and extends in front of part of the peripheral discharge channels and ramjet channels. A motor is also provided for rotating the ring wherein the ring has a plurality of slots formed therein, the channels being arranged such that the slots successfully pass, during rotation of the ring in a continuous direction, in front of the discharge channels only, then in front of none of the channels and then in front of the ramjet channels only.

  • Patent number: 5343695
    Abstract: A jet engine has a central turbojet stream and a peripheral ram jet stream which can be in turn obstructed or freed by flaps. The flaps can be opened outwardly and are located on an intake cone and at an inlet of the peripheral stream. The operation of the flaps is a function of the sought operating mode. This arrangement permits a very good guidance of gases.
