    Abstract: A method implemented using at least one of the processor includes disposing a power source on a vehicle, wherein the power source is configured to power auxiliary loads of the aircraft. The method also includes connecting a power source disposed on a vehicle configured to engage an aircraft for ground operation, to auxiliary loads of the aircraft via an on-board power system. The method also includes performing energy management of the aircraft during the period of ground operation. The method further includes disconnecting the power source when an alternate electrical power is available to the on-board power system.

    Abstract: A tuned cavity rotating detonation combustion system includes a an annular chamber having an inlet and an outlet; a valve plate at the inlet of the annular chamber and comprising a plurality of openings spaced circumferentially around the inlet; a plurality of tubes each having an open end in communication with a corresponding opening of the valve plate and a closed end forming a tuned cavity, and a first opening between the open end and the closed end for injection of air; and a plurality of fuel injectors corresponding to the plurality of tubes, each fuel injector being configured to inject fuel into the tube between the first opening and the open end. Each of the tuned cavities has a length sized to resonate at a same frequency as a continuous detonation frequency of at least one detonation wave in the annular chamber. Alternately, or additionally, a plurality of flame arresters corresponding to the plurality of tubes are configured to arrest the at least one detonation wave generated in the detonation chamber from travelling into the tube.

    Abstract: A system for premixing fuel and air prior to combustion in a gas turbine engine includes a mixing duct, a centerbody fuel injector located along a central axis of the mixing duct an outer annular swirler located adjacent an upstream end of the mixing duct for swirling air flowing therethrough in a first swirl direction and an inner annular swirler located adjacent of the mixing duct upstream end for swirling air flowing therethrough in a second swirl direction. The system includes a hub separating the inner and outer annular swirlers to permit independent rotation of an air stream therethrough and multiple hollow paths located radially outward around the centerbody fuel injector and at a radially inward side of the inner annular swirler for allowing a flow of sweeping air over the surface of the centerbody fuel injector.
