摘要: A strut (30) for an aeroplane wing (82) comprises a first part (32) adapted to be connected at one end portion (36) to a fuselage (81) of the aeroplane (80); a second part (34) connected at a first end portion (40) to a second end portion (38) of the first part (32) and adapted to be connected at a second end portion (42) to either a wing (82), a pylon or a nacelle of the aeroplane, the second part (34) being angled to the first part (32) to define an inverted gull-strut arrangement. Either the first part (32) or the second part (34) comprises a compartment (44) to house a landing gear (31) in a folded configuration (Cl).

摘要: An aircraft (40). The aircraft (40) comprises a propulsion system comprising a pair of internal combustion engines (10) each driving an electrical power generator (56), each electrical power generator (56) being electrically coupled to a plurality of electrically driven propulsors (46). The propulsors (46) are located forward of a leading edge (45) of the wings (44) such that an airstream generated by the propulsors flows over the wings (44) in use. Each internal combustion engine (10) and electrical generator (56) is mounted on a respective wing (44) outboard of a centre of thrust (70) of the propulsors (46) on that wing (44).

摘要: An aircraft (1) comprising a wing (3) having a spanwise lift distribution extending from a root (10) to a tip (12), the lift distribution defining an inboard region (14) defining a positive lift contribution, an outboard region (16) defining a negative lift contribution, and an intermediate region (18) defining a neutral lift contribution, the neutral region (18) being spaced from the tip (12) and from the root (10). A propulsion system is provided, comprising a wing mounted propulsor (5). The wing mounted propulsor (5) has a rotational axis (x) positioned substantially at a span of the wing (3) where a value of δLift / δSpan is at a maximum for the span of the wing, and may be located at the intermediate region (18) along the span of the wing (3).

摘要: An aircraft (10) comprises trailing edge flaps (17), a wing mounted propulsor (26) positioned such that the flaps (17) are located in a slipstream of the first propulsor in use when deployed. The aircraft (10) further comprises a thrust vectorable propulsor configured to selectively vary the exhaust efflux vector of the propulsor in at least one plane. The thrust vectorable propulsor comprises a ducted fan (30) configurable between a first mode, in which the fan (30) provides net forward thrust to the aircraft (10), and a second mode in which the fan (30) provides net drag to the aircraft. (10). The fan (30) is positioned to ingest a boundary layer airflow in use when operating in the first mode.

摘要: A computer implemented method of controlling an aircraft (10). The method comprises the steps of:
determining whether a change in altitude at a predetermined thrust setting can be performed, the determination comprising:
determining a climb requirement comprising initial and final altitudes and a required range of airspeeds at the final altitude;
determining aircraft performance data comprising a thrust at the final altitude at the predetermined thrust setting, an initial airspeed at the initial altitude and an aircraft total mass at the initial altitude;
using the aircraft performance data to determine a final airspeed and a final drag at the final altitude if a change in altitude at the predetermined setting were performed;
determining whether thrust at the final altitude at the predetermined thrust settings and
airspeed is greater than drag; and
providing a signal indicating whether the calculated final airspeed falls within the required range of airspeeds, and whether the thrust at the final altitude and airspeed at the cruise predetermined thrust setting is greater than drag.摘要翻译: 一种控制飞机(10)的计算机实现方法。 该方法包括以下步骤:确定是否可以执行预定推力设定处的高度变化,所述确定包括:确定包括初始和最终高度的爬升要求以及最终高度所需的空速范围; 确定飞机性能数据,其包括在预定推力设置处的最终高度处的推力,初始高度处的初始空速和初始高度处的飞行器总质量; 如果执行了预定设置的高度变化,则使用飞机性能数据来确定最终空速和最终高度的最终阻力; 确定在预定推力设定和空速下的最终高度的推力是否大于阻力; 并且提供指示所计算的最终空速是否落在空速的所需范围内的信号,以及在巡航预定推力设定处的最终高度和空速的推力是否大于阻力。

摘要: An aircraft (2) comprises at least first and second gas turbine engines (10a, 10b) arranged in a line extending generally normally to an aircraft longitudinal axis (A), each engine (10a, 10b) comprising at least one compressor or turbine rotor disc (32 - 42) defining a respective rotational plane (D 32 - D 42 ). The rotational plane (D 32 - D 42 ) of at least one of the rotors (32 - 42) of at least one of the engines (10a, 10b) is angled relative to the aircraft longitudinal line (A) such that a burst disc plane of the respective engine (10a, 10b) is nonintersecting with another engine (10a, 10b).
