摘要:
An apparatus for generating electrical power for powering a device associated with a bladed rotor (12) driven by a gas turbine engine (10) of an aircraft, includes a rotor shaft (19) coupled the bladed rotor (12) of the aircraft and driven by a turbine shaft (15) of the engine (10) via a speed-reducing gear train (17). A speed-augmenting power transfer device (20) has an input coupled to the rotor shaft (19) and an output for outputting a rotation speed higher than a rotation speed of the rotor shaft (19) received at the input of the speed-augmenting power transfer device (20). An electric generator (24) disposed in a hub (25) of the bladed rotor (12) is coupled to the output (22) of the speed-augmenting power transfer device (20) and configured to generate electrical power for the device associated with the bladed rotor (12).

An ice protection system (40) comprises deicing zones (101-103, 201-203) wherein each zone includes an envelope (111-113, 211-213) with an electrothermal heater layer (131-133, 231-233). Adjacent envelopes (111-112, 112-113, 121-122, 122-123) have edge regions (161-162, 172-173, 261-262, 272-273) flanking shared interzone borders (160, 170, 260, 270). These edge regions can be configured to provide a higher heating power than the rest of the envelope so as to enhance deicing at the borders.

An ice protection system (40) comprises deicing zones (101-103) each including an envelope (111-113) defining an ice-protection area. Adjacent envelopes have spanwise edge regions (161,162,172,173) flanking shared interzone borders (160,170). The edge regions (161,162,172,173) are provided with nonlinear contours having features (166,167,176,177) which project-and-recess in a direction generally parallel to the airstream direction (A).

An ice protection system (40) is provided for an aircraft surface having a plurality of ice-susceptible regions. The system (40) comprises an ice protector (51-55) for each ice-susceptible region, a controller (60) which independently controls each of the ice protectors (51-55), and input channels (71-79) which conveys data to the controller (60). The controller (60) uses the channel-conveyed data to determine optimum operation for each of the ice protectors and controls the supply electrical energy thereto in accordance with such optimization.
摘要:
In an aircraft windshield (4) defogging/deicing system, a pair of transparent sheets (8) maintained in spaced facing relation by a transparent interlayer (14) have a resistive coating (20) positioned between the transparent sheets. An inverter (22) is provided for applying to the resistive coating (20) a square wave or quasi-square wave AC signal (34) . In response to receiving this AC signal (34) , the resistive coating (20) generates heat, which reduces or avoids the accumulation of moisture or ice on the aircraft windshield.
摘要:
An electrothermal heater mat for anti-icing or de-icing of a helicopter rotor blade or other aerodynamic surface comprises a substrate, such as a flexible polyimide sheet 6, bearing tracks 7A-7E of a material of selected electrical resistivity, these tracks being formed by printing onto the substrate with a thermosetting ink loaded with electrically conductive (e.g. carbon) particles. Electrical bus bars/terminals 8/9A-9E for the supply of electrical energy to the resistive tracks may also be printed, using an ink loaded with particles of higher conductivity material such as copper or silver.
摘要:
An aircraft system for control of the application of power to a plurality of devices in the aircraft comprises a plurality of local control modules. Each local control module controls the application of the power to the group of at least one device. A central control system communicates with and controls the local control modules.
摘要:
A microwave device for de-icing and keeping areas of hollow body structures free from ice keeps atmospherically flown-against edges and linear areas emanating therefrom by means of a coolant circuit. The surface segments between the linear areas are kept free from ice as a result of the effect of said microwave device upon the wall of said surface segments and the heating that ensues following coupling by de-icing the boundary layer between the ice and the surface. A series of consecutive microwave-tight chambers is disposed behind the wall of the area which is flown against. A microwave source respectively feeds into said chambers with the aid of a decoupling structure fitted therein, resulting in high/multimode excitation. The lost heat from the microwave sources is collected by means of a coolant circuit and double lines in the edge and transported to the linear areas emanating therefrom for permanent heating in order to keep the ice away. The microwave sources are operated in cycles.
