摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved thrust reverseer door structure having a deflector that will reduce the aerodynamic losses and thereby increase the operating efficiency of a turbofan engine. The deflector has a first portion that extends generally radially inwardly when the door is in its retracted position and a second portion extending in a downstream direction from the distal edge of the first portion. The downstream facing second portion is located adjacent the inner surface of a secondary-duct wall and serves to deflect the air passing through this annular space away from an inner, concave portion of the thrust reverser door. The deflector may also include aperatures in the first portion to allow passage of the thrust reversing gases when the door is in its extended position. A baffle may also be attached to the first portion so as to extend at an angle over the aperatures.

An adjustable two-dimensional nozzle is disclosed in which simplified control means are located away from the flow of gasses through the nozzle. The nozzle includes a movable frame located outside of fixed sidewalls and has pivotally attached thereto a pair of upstream or converging nozzle flaps. Upstream edges of the upstream flaps are attached to the movable frame such that the flaps pivot about axes extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle. Downstream or diverging flaps are attached to the downstream edges of the upstream flaps such that these flaps also pivot about axes extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle. A cam member extends between each of the movable frames and each downstream flap to control the angular variations of the flaps during movement of the frame. The flap arrangements are symmetrically arranged with respect to a plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the nozzle, such that translational movement of the frames will alter the cross-section of the nozzle in a symmetrical manner with respect to the plane. If the frame is rotated about its pivot attachment, the nozzle flaps will be asymmetrically adjusted and may be utilized to vector the thrust of the gasses emanating from the nozzle.

An electrical control system for a fuel circuit including a low pressure pump, a high pressure pump, a throttle valve and a pressurizing valve connected in series between a fuel reservoir and the fuel injectors of a gas turbine engine includes a first device including a first solenoid controlled valve capable of interruption of the connection between the outlet of the throttle valve and an inlet to a pressure drop detector which is normally connected across the throttle valve. The output of the pressure drop detector controls a control valve which can by-pass high pressure fuel output from the high pressure pump back to the pump inlet. The first device includes two, identical, parallel control channels each provided with its own independent power supply, a control first switch with two positions each leading to a respective processing circuit which has its output connected to one terminal of a respective solenoid winding of the bistable first solenoid controlled valve. In the "start" position of the first switch each channel independently causes operation of its respective first solenoid controlled valve to make the fuel circuit between the output of the throttle valve and the input of the pressure drop detector allowing fuel to be supplied to the start-up injectors and then the main injectors of the jet engine. In the "stop" position the signal is processed to operate the bistable valves to "break" the fuel circuit between the output of the supply regulator and the input to the pressure detector. This causes the by-pass valve to by-pass the fuel from the outlet to the inlet of the high pressure pump, cutting off the fuel supply to the injectors and stopping the engine. A second device acts directly in the by-pass valve to supply the fuel reservoir pressure instead of the outlet from the pressure drop detector to the control input of the by-pass valve so as to cause the by-pass valve to open so that fuel is recirculated from the high pressure pump to its input. This second device acts as a safety cut-off device in the event of failure of the first device.

An engine mounting structure for a turbojet engine is disclosed which incorporates a safety rod in addition to the normal support rods used to attach a turbojet engine to a mounting structure. Under normal conditions, the safety rod is unstressed and supports none of the engine's weight. Upon rupture of one of the support rods, a tensile or compressive force exerted on the safety rod will move it into an active position so as to assume support of the engine's weight. A locking structure is also disclosed which will securely lock the rod in its active position such that it assumes the portion of the engine weight normally undertaken by the ruptured support rod.

摘要:
A gas-flow exhaust assembly for a jet propulsion system of an aircraft in which a converging exhaust nozzle (4) is fitted with translating cold flaps (21, 22). The primary exhaust nozzle (4) comprises two hot-flaps (5, 6) situated beyond a primary duct (1) enclosed by an aircraft fairing (2). The fairing (2) is extended by a secondary exhaust nozzle (20) which is supported by the primary duct (1) and which is translatable by a control mechanism (27a, 27b). The secondary exhaust nozzle (20) comprises cold flaps (21, 22) which are driven by another control mechanism (29a, 29b) independently of the angular positions of the hot flaps (5, 6). Preferably, there are two eyelid-shaped cold-flaps (21, 22) hinging and supported on horizontal transverse shafts (23a, 23b). The shafts (23a, 23b) are preferably affixed on two lateral slides (24a, 24b) which slide on the primary duct (1) and are displaceable by the control mechanism (27a, 27b) which translates the secondary exhaust nozzle (20).
摘要:
A coating (22) with a high coefficient of friction and low thermal conductivity covers a turbomachine low pressure shaft (12) in the vicinity (17) of a concentric high pressure shaft (11), in the area at which high friction contact between the two shafts could occur if a bearing (13) on the low pressure shaft (12) breaks following a failure causing the appearance of an out-of-balance mass. Friction would also more quickly equalize shaft speeds and reduce overheating in them.
摘要:
A rectifier vane stage is connected to a stator that is supported at the internal end thereof by a connecting ring which includes a support ring and a stiffening ring, a retaining lip of which is inserted into the support ring and similarly into the recesses of the ends of the vanes. The possibility of the vane accidentally coming loose following breakage of said vane is therefore eliminated.
摘要:
The system (13) for admitting external air (12) into a working section (11) of a gas turbine engine through a jacket (10) of the working section is characterised by the combination of doors (15) sliding towards the front (ramps) and rotating doors (14). The ramps (15) are fitted with grooved lateral arms (30) in which run wheels mounted on the doors (14). When they reach an ascending part (33) of the grooves (31) after sufficient movement of the ramps (15) towards the front, they are caused to rise, which opens the doors (14). This system can be used on double flow gas turbine engines for supersonic aircraft.
