An adjustable converging-diverging nozzle (10) includes a body (11) having a flow passageway (14) therethrough. The passageway is configured to define an entrance section (18), a narrowed throat section (19), and an exit section (20). Two opposing vane members (12, 13) are pivotally mounted on the body. Each vane member has a first surface (33, 33') facing into the passageway to form a movable wall portion of the throat secion. Each first surface is eccentric to the pivotal axis (38, 38') of the associated vane member. A pair of actuators (42, 43) are mounted on the body for selectively varying the angular positions of the associated vane members. The vane members may be moved to a closed position to reduce the orifice area of the throat section to zero, or may be moved to other angular positions to vary the magnitude and/or direction of the thrust vector of hot gas discharged through the nozzle. The invention also provides an improved method of operating the nozzle by selectively moving the vane member(s).

Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for reducing noise levels in a passenger cabin of an aircraft. In one example, an aircraft includes a wing coupled to a fuselage. The wing is configured to heat air to provide a first stream of air from a central portion of a wing segment of the wing extending between the fuselage and a first engine of an aircraft. The first stream of air is at a higher temperature than an adjacent stream of air from the wing.

The structural assembly (200) has box (202) having fiber sections (212,214) which are connected to each other at a crossing point (216). The fiber portion (212) has sub portions (218,220) which are connected to sub portions (232,233) of exterior wall (204) of box. The fiber section (214) has inner and outer ribs (222,224) which extend to inner and outer space (208) of box. A load (230) applied on attachment point (226) formed in outer rib is transferred by fiber section (214) to support element while another load (235) is transferred between sub portions (232,233) by fiber section (212). An independent claim is included for method for manufacture of structural assembly.

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.
