    Abstract: Disclosed is a flutter damper, including a chamber having an internal space, a movable diaphragm disposed at least partially within the chamber, the diaphragm separating the chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber, the second chamber forming an acoustic volume, wherein a size of the acoustic volume configures the chamber for peak acoustical energy absorption at a frequency range that is associated with one or more fan flutter modes, and a biasing member that moves the diaphragm responsive to a signal from an aircraft or engine electronic control (EEC) unit, wherein movement of the diaphragm increases or reduces the size of the acoustic volume of the second chamber.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine may include at least one of a fan inlet case and a bypass duct case. Additionally, the gas turbine engine may include a variable volume acoustic damper coupled to the at least one of the fan inlet case and the bypass duct case, wherein the variable volume acoustic damper is configured to damp acoustic energy. The variable volume acoustic damper may include a case and a diaphragm movably coupled within the case. An acoustic volume may be defined by a position of the diaphragm relative to the case and the acoustic volume may correspond to and may be configured to damp acoustic energy of a gas turbine engine.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine de-icing system includes a heat exchanger. A coolant loop is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger and is configured to circulate a coolant. An engine oil loop is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger and is configured to transfer heat to the coolant. A gas turbine engine inlet structure includes a cavity. A manifold is arranged in the cavity and is in fluid communication with the coolant loop. The manifold is configured to spray the coolant onto the gas turbine engine inlet structure to de-ice the gas turbine engine inlet structure.
