摘要: An exhaust nozzle assembly for a propulsion system include a primary nozzle, an outer shroud, an ejector nozzle, and an actuator. The primary nozzle extends along an exhaust centerline. The primary nozzle includes a downstream axial end. The outer shroud surrounds the primary nozzle. The ejector nozzle extends axially between a first axial end and a second axial end. The second axial end forms a nozzle exit plane for the exhaust nozzle assembly. The ejector nozzle converges in a direction from the first axial end to the second axial end. The ejector nozzle forms a mixing cross-sectional area between the primary nozzle and the ejector nozzle at the downstream axial end. The actuator is mounted on the ejector nozzle. The actuator is configured to move the ejector nozzle between a first position and a second position, relative to the outer shroud, to control an area of the mixing cross-sectional area.

摘要: A fuel delivery apparatus is provided for a gas turbine engine. This fuel delivery apparatus includes a fuel injector. The fuel injector includes a plurality of fuel passages, a guide passage, a plurality of air passages, a mixing cavity and a fuel injector outlet. The fuel passages extend along an axis to the guide passage. The fuel passages converge radially inwards towards the axis as the fuel passages spiral about the axis towards the guide passage. The guide passage turns radially outwards away from the axis as the guide passage extends from the fuel passages to the mixing cavity. The air passages converge radially inwards towards the axis as the air passages extend axially to the mixing cavity. The mixing cavity fluidly couples the guide passage and the air passages to the fuel injector outlet.

摘要: A blade for mounting on a rotor disc of a gas turbine engine includes platform segments between a airfoil and blade root and extending laterally from the blade, the platform segment having a curved profile defining a platform recess on a root side of the platform segment, the recess configured to cooperate with recesses of adjacent blades to define a blade pocket. A recessed region is defined in a rear surface of the blade root, and is configured to receive a complementary projection of the rotor disc upon mounting the blade on the rotor disc. The recessed region has a surface configured to abut a corresponding surface on the projection of the rotor disc to form a face seal. Methods of manufacturing such a rotor disc and of sealing a circumferential joint between such blades and the rotor disc are also disclosed.

The first airfoil extends spanwise between a first end at the first platform and a second end at the second platform. The first airfoil extends chordwise between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The first airfoil extends laterally between a first side and a second side. The first recess projects spanwise into the first airfoil from the first end. The first recess projects chordwise into the first airfoil from the trailing edge.

摘要: An epicyclic gear system includes an input sun gear configured to receive rotational input from a turbine of a turbo charger. A first set of planet gears is distributed around and meshes with the input sun gear. A carrier holds the first set of planet gears and defines a rotational axis about which the carrier rotates. A second set of planet gears is mounted to the carrier. An output sun gear is included, wherein the second set of planet gears are distributed around and mesh with the output sun. The output sun gear is configured to deliver rotational power to an internal combustion engine. The carrier is configured to selectively be driven by a variable speed drive to regulate output to the output sun over a range of input rotational speeds of the input sun gear.

摘要: A system and a method for configuring at least one variable geometry mechanism (VGM) of an aircraft engine are provided. Pass-off testing data for the aircraft engine is obtained, the pass-off testing data indicative of an actual value of at least one operating parameter of the aircraft engine. Based on the pass-off testing data, at least one trim value to be used to adjust a setting of the at least one VGM to bring the actual value of the at least one operating parameter towards a target value is determined, a running line of the aircraft engine being substantially constant when the actual value of the at least one operating parameter is at the target value. The setting of the at least one VGM is adjusted, during pass-off testing of the aircraft engine, using the at least one trim value.
