摘要:
A fluidic control system (11) for selectively adjusting flow areas of an aircraft engine thrust nozzle (31) to influence the thrust vector uses outlet passages (17) for fluid jets within the thrust nozzle (31) to change the fluid dynamic configuration of the thrust nozzle (31) to modify as well the value as the direction of thrust.

The invention concerns a device comprising a bracket (22) connected to an activating member (18a) mounted on a divergent nozzle (12) by means of inserts (32) designed to be arranged and locked in the divergent nozzle wall, and fixing means comprising an element capable of elastic deformation (24) for compensating possible heat-related dimensional variations to maintain the bracket (22) pressed on the divergent nozzle (12). A support element (26) is connected to the inserts (32) so as to compress the element capable of elastic deformation (24) between the support element (26) and the bracket (22).

The present invention provides support for a vectoring ring used to pivot flaps in a gas turbine engine thrust vectoring nozzle (14). The ring support transfers at least a portion of the side loads acting generated by a gas turbine engine thrust vectoring nozzle to a relatively stationary portion of the engine. The support includes a means (56) for allowing two degree of freedom (2 DOF) pivoting or gimballing motion and axial translation of the vectoring ring (66).

A plurality of cascade vanes (28, 29, 30) for directing a flow of gas (20) is provided with at least one flow regulating vane (36) which counterrotates with respect to the cascade vanes (28, 29, 30) over a gas flow vectoring range of motion. The cascade vanes (28, 29, 30) and flow regulating vane (36) corotate when moving through an adjacent stowing range of motion for achieving a stowed, gas flow blocking arrangement.
摘要:
A plurality of cascade vanes (28, 29, 30) pivot in unison for selectably directing a flow of gas (20) therethrough. A flow regulating vane (36) pivots opposite the cascade vanes (28, 29, 30) for maintaining a constant collective gas flow area.
摘要:
A propulsion system coupled to a vehicle. The system includes a convex surface, a diffusing structure coupled to the convex surface, and at least one conduit coupled to the convex surface. The conduit is configured to introduce to the convex surface a primary fluid Produced by the vehicle. The system further includes an intake structure coupled to the convex surface and configured to introduce to the diffusing structure a secondary fluid accessible to the vehicle. The diffusing structure comprises a terminal end configured to provide egress from the system for the introduced primary fluid and secondary fluid.

A propulsion system includes a first compressor in fluid communication with a fluid source. A first conduit is coupled to the first compressor, and a heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the first compressor via the first conduit. A second conduit is positioned proximal to the heat exchanger. A combustor is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger via the second conduit and is configured to generate a high-temperature gas stream. A third conduit is coupled to the combustor, and a first thrust augmentation device is in fluid communication with the combustor via the third conduit. The heat exchanger is positioned within the gas stream generated by the combustor.
摘要:
Mounting assembly for a rocket nozzle (17) for an engine operable in rocket mode, in which the engine combusts stored oxygen and hydrogen, or in air-breathing mode, in which the engine combusts air from the atmosphere and stored hydrogen. A plurality of ducts and pipes (58) are connected to the nozzle to supply fuel and other fluids. In order to allow the nozzle to pivot, the mounting assembly includes flexible couplings (55) on the ducts and pipes about selected pivot points allowing the desired freedom of motion. The flexible couplings are composed of spaced annular elements (51), wherein a partial toroid element (43) connects consecutive pairs of annular elements.
