    Abstract: An exhaust duct for a gas turbine engine has an annular inlet conduit having an inlet axis. At least two outlet conduits branch off from the inlet conduit along respective outlet centerlines that are distinct from one another. The outlet centerlines when projected onto a projection plane perpendicular to the inlet axis are spaced apart from the inlet axis so as not to intersect the inlet axis.

    Abstract: A system for an aircraft includes an aircraft engine having a central axis with a flowpath projecting into the aircraft engine from an airflow inlet. An inlet plenum at the airflow inlet extends between a front wall and a rear wall along the central axis. An inlet guard is arranged at the airflow inlet and extends across the flowpath. The inlet guard includes a first screen extending circumferentially about the central axis. The first screen has a first screen axial width L1 extending from the front wall to the rear wall. The inlet guard further includes a second screen extending at least partially circumferentially about the central axis. The second screen is disposed radially outward of the first screen and axially overlaps the first screen. The second screen has a second screen axial width L2 less than the first screen axial width L1.

    Abstract: An engine nacelle assembly includes a nacelle that defines a flow path between an intake end and an exhaust end, and a nozzle that is disposed at the exhaust end of the nacelle about a central axis. The nozzle includes opposing thrust reverser openings and thrust reverser doors. A cross-sectional area transverse to the central axis proximate a forward side of each of the opposing thrust reverser openings is oval shaped with an offset radius within offset arc segments that are aligned with the opposing thrust reverser openings and a first radius outside of the offset arc segment. The first radius is less than the offset radius.

    Abstract: An air intake for an aircraft propulsion system includes an air inlet duct and a flow control device. The air inlet duct includes an interior surface and an intake inlet. The interior surface extends from the intake inlet. The interior surface forms and surrounds an inlet flow passage through the air inlet duct. The intake inlet includes a top side, a bottom side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side. Each of the first lateral side and the second lateral side extend between and to the top side and the bottom side. The flow control device is disposed inside the air inlet duct at the first lateral side. The flow control device is configured to form an asymmetrical shape of the intake inlet at the first lateral side relative to the second lateral side.

    Abstract: A strut assembly for an aircraft propulsion system includes an outer case, an inner case, a plurality of struts, and a plurality of pressure sensors. Each strut extends between and to the outer case and the inner case. A first strut of the plurality of struts includes a leading strut portion and a trailing strut portion. One or both of the leading strut portion and the trailing strut portion is rotatable. The leading strut portion extends between a first axial end and a second axial end. The first axial end forms a leading edge of the first strut. The leading strut portion includes a first side surface and a second side surface. The plurality of pressure sensors includes a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor. The first pressure sensor is disposed at the first side surface and the second pressure sensor is disposed at the second side surface.
