Abstract: An air intake system (AIS) has a plenum and an inlet barrier filter associated with the plenum, through which air can selectively enter the plenum. The AIS also has an inlet duct associated with the plenum, through which air can selectively enter the plenum. The AIS also has a bypass door associated with the inlet duct, the bypass door being configured to selectively change an amount of air allowed to pass through the inlet duct. The AIS also has a filter airflow change device configured to change an amount of airflow allowed through the inlet barrier filter.

Abstract: Systems and methods include providing an aircraft with a fuselage and a convertible engine disposed within the fuselage. The convertible engine is operable as a turbofan engine in a thrust mode and a turboshaft engine in a shaft power mode. The convertible engine includes a housing, an engine core having a low pressure turbine shaft, and a bypass fan system. The bypass fan system includes a bypass fan having a fan clutch. The fan clutch selectively couples at least a portion of the bypass fan to the low pressure turbine shaft when the convertible engine is operated in the thrust mode and decouples at least a portion of the bypass fan from the low pressure turbine shaft when the convertible engine is operated in the shaft power mode.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for managing electrical load in an aircraft comprising a generator coupled to an aircraft engine, and a power distribution controller configured to monitor current engine operating parameters and to reduce an electrical load on the generator when the engine operating parameters reach a limit during specified aircraft operating conditions. The system may further comprise a non-essential electrical bus coupled to the generator, wherein the electrical load on the generator is reduced by disconnecting the non-essential bus from the generator. The generator may be coupled to the aircraft engine via an accessory gearbox or a transmission gearbox. The monitored current engine operating parameters comprise one or more of an engine torque, a gas generator RPM, and a temperature. The aircraft operating conditions may comprise one or more of a takeoff, a landing, or an engine failure.

Abstract: A differential pressure transducer provides measurements for determining the restriction, updated in real time, of an inlet barrier filter for a turboshaft engine of an aircraft. The percentage of restriction of the air inlet barrier filter, which corresponds to the condition of the air inlet barrier filter, is determined as a function of mass air flow into the engine during operation. The restriction percentage is indicated on the instrument panel of the rotorcraft.
