摘要:
A thrust reverser having an engine cowl, a nacelle, a blocker door, a nacelle door and a cascade vane. The engine cowl has a hollow body that shrouds a jet engine and which includes a cowl opening. The nacelle surrounds the engine cowl and includes a nacelle opening that is positioned outwardly of the cowl opening. The blocker door is associated with the engine cowl and movable between a first position, wherein the blocker door closes the cowl opening, and a second position, wherein the blocker door is disposed in the propulsive air flow and substantially clears the cowl opening. The nacelle door is associated with the nacelle and movable between a forward position, which substantially closes the nacelle opening, and a rearward position, which substantially clears the nacelle opening. The cascade vane is disposed between the engine cowl and the nacelle and positioned between the cowl and nacelle openings.

A ducted fan gas turbine assembly has a thrust reverser assembly having a vane arrangement including a first set of turning vanes (37) for channelling airflow from the duct in a rearward direction and a second set of turning vanes (38) for channelling airflow from the bypass duct (30) in a forward direction. The thrust reverser assembly further has a plurality of blocker doors (41) which are deployable to block the bypass duct (30). The nacelle has a stationary cowl portion (32) and a movable cowl portion (33) which is translatable rearwardly relative to the stationary cowl portion (32) to open an annular gap (43) therebetween. The cowl portions (32, 33) cooperate with the thrust reverser assembly to provide three operational configurations. In the first operational configuration the gap (43) between the cowl portions (32, 33) is closed and the vane arrangement is stowed in the nacelle to prevent airflow from the duct (30) flowing therethrough. In the second operational configuration the first set of turning vanes (37) is positioned in the gap (43) opened between the cowl portions (32, 33) to form an annular secondary discharge nozzle from the bypass duct (30) for the duct airflow. In the third operational configuration the blocker doors (41) are deployed and the second set of turning vanes (38) is positioned in the gap (43) opened between the cowl portions (32, 33) to divert the duct airflow through the second set of turning vanes (38) and provide reverse thrust.

A turbofan engine, an afterburner system, and a method of operating a turbofan engine are provided. The turbofan engine has: an engine core comprising a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor, and producing a core exhaust flow; a fan upstream of the engine core; a bypass duct surrounding the engine core and carrying a bypass air flow produced by the fan; an exhaust assembly comprising a first exhaust nozzle defining a downstream end of a first core flow duct which receives the core exhaust flow produced by the engine core. The turbofan engine further has an afterburner system comprising: a core plug defining a radially inner surface of the first core flow duct; a second core flow duct located in the core plug, and having one or more entrances from the first core flow duct for diversion into the second core flow duct of a portion of the core exhaust flow, and further having an exit therefrom for re-joining the diverted portion of the core exhaust flow to the undiverted portion of the core exhaust flow; one or more respective doors for the entrances to the second core flow duct, the doors being open during normal operation of the engine but being closable, during a reheat operation, to at least partially block the entrances to the second core flow duct; and one or more fuel injectors and one or more respective igniters operable, during the reheat operation, to respectively inject and ignite fuel within the second core flow duct, thereby providing a reheat flow into the core exhaust flow from the exit of the second core flow duct.

A turbine engine comprising an engine core bounded by a bypass duct, a first portion of the bypass duct defined by a fan casing having a radially inner wall and a radially outer wall, a second portion of the bypass duct defined by a radially inner wall and a radially outer wall, a third portion of the bypass duct provided as at least one access door comprising a flow guide structure; and a thrust reverser mechanism coupled to the fan casing. The at least one access door being pivotable between an open position and a closed position relative to the thrust reverser mechanism. The flow guide structure having a first panel spaced apart from a second panel such that in a closed position the first panel forms a continuous flow surface with the second portion's radially outer wall and the second panel forms a continuous flow surface with the second portion's radially inner wall and covers a section of the engine core; and in an open position the access door provides access to the engine core.

A gas turbine engine (30) comprising a rear cowl (38) defining an exhaust aperture (40) and a motive system. The rear cowl (38) comprises at least one panel (42) and the motive system is operable to selectively move the panel (42) between deployed and stowed configurations by rotation of the panel (42) about an axis substantially parallel to the main rotational axis of the engine (30). This alters the area of the exhaust aperture (40).

A mounting assembly for attaching a ducted fan gas turbine engine to an aircraft is provided. The engine has an intake (111), a propulsive fan, a fan case (125) surrounding the fan, and a core engine (126). The air intake (111) is attached to the front of the fan case such that loads acting on the air intake (111) are primarily transmitted to the fan case (125). The mounting assembly includes a support structure (133) extending in an axial direction of the engine and having a rearward region which is adapted to attach to the aircraft. The mounting assembly further includes load distribution ring (135) which is coaxial with and rearward of the fan case (125), the load distribution ring (135) being adapted to join to the fan case (125), and being joined to a forward region of the support structure (133). The support structure (133) and the load distribution ring (135) are adapted such that the primary load path for the loads transmitted to the fan case (125) by the air intake (111) is through the load distribution ring (135) and the support structure (133), and thence to the aircraft.
