    Abstract: A turboprop engine system for an aircraft includes an engine, a propeller, and a gear train coupled to and configured to provide power from the engine to the propeller at a predetermined gear reduction. The engine system also includes a gearbox that houses at least part of the gear train. The gearbox includes a gearbox flow structure and an inlet flow structure that is removably attached to the gearbox. The inlet flow structure and the gearbox flow structure cooperate to define an inlet flow passage to the engine. The inlet flow passage has an upstream end and a downstream end that are cooperatively defined by the inlet flow structure and the gearbox flow structure. The upstream end is configured to receive an airstream that is directed along the inlet flow passage to the downstream end and toward the engine.

    Abstract: An outflow valve is provided. The outflow valve includes a frame and a first door rotatably coupled to the frame. The first door has a first side opposite a second side and a bellmouth. The bellmouth is defined by a super-ellipse, with a major axis of the super-ellipse substantially parallel to the second side and a minor axis of the super-ellipse substantially perpendicular to the second side. The outflow valve also includes a second door rotatably coupled to the frame. The first door and the second door are substantially simultaneously movable between at least a first position and a second position.

    Abstract: A compartment based inlet particle separator system for an aircraft that includes an auxiliary power unit (APU) system compartment is provided. The system includes a separation barrier wall, a ram air inlet opening, a diffuser, and an inlet particle separator (IPS). The separation barrier wall is disposed within the APU system compartment and divides the APU system compartment into two compartments. The ram air inlet opening is formed one of the compartments. The diffuser receives ram air from a ram air inlet opening and discharges ram air into a compartment. The IPS is disposed within the a compartment between the diffuser outlet and the APU air inlet port.
