Abstract: An electric machine is provided herein that includes a stator assembly. The stator assembly includes a stator core having one or more lamination packages. The stator core can define an outer ring and a plurality of teeth extending from the outer ring. A cooling plate may be positioned adjacent to at least one of the one or more lamination packages. The cooling plate can define one or more channels therethrough. One or more windings can be arranged around one or more of the plurality of teeth of the stator core. A rotor can be operably coupled with the stator assembly. A cooling system can be fluidly coupled with the one or more channels of the cooling plate. The cooling system provides a cryogenic fluid through the one or more channels to cool the electric machine.

Abstract: Heat exchangers, heat exchanger systems, and hypersonic vehicles are provided. For example, a heat exchanger is provided that comprises a first chamber for receipt of a flow of cool fluid and a second chamber for receipt of a flow of hot fluid. The heat exchanger further comprises a buffer fluid flowpath for circulation of a buffer fluid therethrough. The buffer fluid circulates within the buffer fluid flowpath disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber to transfer heat from the hot fluid to the cool fluid. In certain embodiments, a hypersonic vehicle comprises such a heat exchanger, and the cool fluid is cryogenic or near-cryogenic fuel of the hypersonic vehicle and the hot fluid is engine bleed air from a hypersonic propulsion engine of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system for a heat exchanger are provided. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of arcuate heat exchanger segments, each including a first header configured to extend circumferentially about at least a portion of a circumference of an internal surface of a fluid duct. The heat exchanger also includes a second header configured to extend circumferentially about the portion spaced axially apart from the first header in a direction opposite of fluid flow through the fluid duct and a first plurality of heat exchanger tubes extending generally axially between the first header and the second header, the first plurality of heat exchanger tubes each including a first flow path separate from a second flow path of any other of the first plurality of heat exchanger tubes, the first flow path changing direction along the flow path from the first header to the second header.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a compressor section and a turbine section together defining a core air flowpath. The rotary component is rotatable with the compressor section and the turbine section. The gas turbine engine additionally includes an electric machine rotatable with the rotary component and positioned coaxially with the rotary component at least partially inward of the core air flowpath. The electric machine is flexibly mounted to a static frame member, or flexibly coupled to the rotary component, or both, such that the electric machine is mechanically isolated or insulated from various internal and external forces on the gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A propulsion system includes an electric propulsor and a gas turbine engine. The propulsion system also includes an electric machine coupled to a rotary component of the gas turbine engine generating a voltage at a baseline voltage magnitude during operation of the gas turbine engine. An electric communication bus is provided electrically connecting the electric machine to the electric propulsor. The propulsion system additionally includes a means for providing a differential voltage to the electric propulsor equal to about twice the baseline voltage magnitude.

Abstract: A transduct segment, that can include a main tube extending from a first end to a second end and defining a hollow passageway therethrough, a lower platform attached to an outer surface of the main tube on first side of an aperture defined within the main tube, and an upper platform attached to the outer surface of the main tube on second side of the aperture that is opposite of the first side, is provided. The upper platform is integral with the lower platform to define a supply channel therebetween, and the supply channel is in fluid communication with the hollow passageway of the main tube through the aperture defined by the main tube. The lower platform and the upper platform define an interface defining a plurality of channels in fluid communication with the hollow passageway defined by the main tube.
