    Abstract: Aircraft power plants and associated methods are provided. A method for driving a load on an aircraft includes: transferring motive power from an internal combustion (IC) engine to the load; discharging a flow of first exhaust gas from the IC engine when transferring motive power from the IC engine to the load; receiving the flow of first exhaust gas from the IC engine into a combustor; mixing fuel with the first exhaust gas in the combustor and igniting the fuel to generate a flow of second exhaust gas; receiving the flow of second exhaust gas at a turbine and driving the turbine with the flow of second exhaust gas from the combustor; and transferring motive power from the turbine to the load.

    Abstract: A rotary engine including at least two pilot subchambers each in parallel fluid communication with the internal cavity, so that each pilot subchamber is in fluid communication with the combustion chambers as the rotor rotates. Each of the at least two pilot subchambers in fluid communication with a corresponding pilot fuel injector. At least one ignition source is configured for igniting fuel in the pilot subchambers. A compound engine assembly and a method of combusting fuel in a rotary engine are also discussed.

    Abstract: A compound engine assembly with at least one rotary internal combustion engine, an impulse turbine, and an exhaust pipe for each internal combustion engine providing fluid communication between the exhaust port of the respective internal combustion engine and the flow path of the turbine. Each exhaust pipe terminates in a nozzle. For each exhaust pipe, a ratio Vp/Vd between the pipe volume Vp and the displacement volume Vd of the respective internal combustion engine is at most 1.5. A minimum value of a cross-sectional area of each exhaust pipe is defined at the nozzle. In one embodiment, a ratio An/Ae between the minimum cross-sectional area An and the cross-sectional area Ae of the exhaust port of the respective internal combustion engine is at least 0.2. A method of compounding at least one rotary engine is also discussed.
