    摘要: An aircraft includes a fuselage, a wing connected to and extending outward from the fuselage, and an engine mounted to the wing. The engine includes turbomachine defining a centerline axis, a fan, and an exhaust section with an outlet nozzle. The turbomachine defines a centerline axis. The fan is connected to and is disposed upstream from the turbomachine. The fan is disposed to rotate about the centerline axis. During operation of the engine, an exhaust stream is expelled from the outlet nozzle of the exhaust section. The exhaust stream defines a mean direction of flow in the downstream direction from the exhaust section. The mean direction of flow defines a first angle with the centerline axis of the turbomachine that is greater than zero such that the centerline axis is oriented downwardly along the vertical direction relative to the mean direction of flow of the exhaust stream.

    摘要: A thrust reverser assembly and a method of operating an aircraft during a taxi mode of operation are provided. The thrust reverser assembly includes one or more actuator assemblies configured to modulate a position of a moveable portion over a continuous range of travel between a fully stowed position and a fully deployed position, such that an air flow through said thrust reverser bleed passage is correspondingly varied. The thrust reverser assembly also includes a throttle device that includes a first, ground idle power level position and a second, forward thrust mode position. Movement into the second position may be actuated separately and differently from movement into the first position. An actuator intermediate lock may inhibit actuation of the intermediate forward thrust mode of operation until a plurality of preconditions is met.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine defining a radial direction, an axial direction, a circumferential direction, and a longitudinal axis is provided. The gas turbine engine includes: a fan rotatable about the longitudinal axis; a turbomachine; and a housing surrounding the turbomachine and having an upper outer surface portion and a lower outer surface portion, the housing defining a first distance extending radially from the longitudinal axis to a first point located at the upper outer surface portion, the housing further defining a second distance extending radially from the longitudinal axis to a second point located at the lower outer surface portion, and the second distance is greater than the first distance.

    摘要: Thrust reverser assemblies and a method of operating an aircraft during a landing approach mode of operation are provided. The thrust reverser assembly includes a moveable portion that is moveable over a continuous range of travel between a fully stowed position and a fully deployed position. Movement away from the fully stowed position opens a bleed passage. An actuator assembly coupled to the moveable portion is operable in an intermediate forward thrust mode to modulate a position of the moveable portion along the continuous range of travel, such that an air flow through the bleed passage is correspondingly varied. A throttle device includes a first position associated with deployment of, and a second position associated with engagement of, the intermediate forward thrust mode of operation. A drag flap assembly may extend from the bleed passage during the intermediate forward thrust mode of operation.
