  • Patent number: 11719165
    Abstract: An aircraft engine comprises an air inlet duct extending from an inlet through which air is configured to enter the aircraft engine, to an outlet within the aircraft engine. At least one strut has a leading edge and a trailing edge and extends across at least part of the air inlet duct. The at least one strut has a strut passage and a plurality of static pressure measurement taps spaced apart on the trailing edge and in fluid communication with the strut passage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2021

  • Patent number: 11415079
    Abstract: An ejector comprises a primary nozzle having an annular wall forming part of an outer boundary of an exhaust portion of a primary flow path of a gas turbine engine. The annular wall has a downstream end defining a plurality of circumferentially distributed lobes. The ejector further comprises a secondary nozzle having an annular wall disposed about the primary nozzle, the primary nozzle and the secondary nozzle defining a secondary flow passage therebetween for channeling a secondary flow. The secondary nozzle defines a mixing zone downstream of an exit of the primary nozzle. A flow guide ring is mounted to the primary nozzle lobes. The ring has an aerodynamic surface extending from a leading edge to a trailing edge respectively disposed upstream and downstream of the exit of the primary nozzle. The aerodynamic surface of the ring is oriented to guide the high velocity primary flow into the mixing zone.

  • Patent number: 11339716
    Abstract: An inertial particle separator, having: an inlet duct defining an intake; an intermediate duct extending from the inlet duct to an engine inlet; a bypass duct in fluid communication with and extending downstream from the inlet duct, the bypass duct defining an outlet communicating with the environment of the aircraft engine, a splitter defined at an intersection of a wall of the bypass duct and a wall of the intermediate duct; a splitter vane within the intermediate duct and having a leading edge located upstream of the splitter relative to a flow circulating through the separator, the splitter vane and the wall of the intermediate duct defining a channel therebetween; and a porous plate extending across the channel and defining openings sized so as to aggregate ice and be blocked by ice under icing conditions.

  • Publication number: 20150256558
    Abstract: A safety device, a server and a server safety realizing method. The safety device includes: a communication module used to be butted with an external communication interface provided by the server and realize information interaction with the server through the interface; a firmware module used to be pre-configured with at least one safety control policy; and a processing module used to perform at least one of the safety control strategies so as to realize the information safety protection of the server in real time when the server detects the safety device. A high speed safety device integrating the safety control policy, for example, a security chip card, is utilized to protect the safety of the server, realize the safe plug and play function of the server, and realize to process an external server as an independence network and also completely isolate the external server from an internal gateway.
