Abstract: A thrust reverser is adapted to be fixed within a turbofan engine nacelle that extends substantially about an engine core cowl. The nacelle and engine core cowl together define an axially extending annular duct for receiving an aft flowing fan bypass air stream that is forwardly redirected upon deployment of the thrust reverser. The nacelle includes an axially translating sleeve, circumferentially arranged translating cascade sets, and axially translatable blocker doors adapted to pivot radially inwardly from the translating sleeve to extend at least partially into the fan bypass air stream. A blocker door deployment drag linkage is pivotally coupled to each of the translating sleeve and the blocker doors. When stowed, an axially extending outer wall of the bypass duct is radially interposed between each blocker door and the fan bypass air stream to assure that the blocker doors remain entirely concealed from the fan bypass air stream.

Abstract: Sound-attenuating heat exchangers and methods of exchanging heat and attenuating sound within sound-attenuating heat exchangers. The sound-attenuating heat exchangers include a base region, which defines a first base side and a second base side, and a plurality of elongate fluid conduits, which are at least partially defined by the base region and configured to contain a cooled fluid stream. The sound-attenuating heat exchangers also include a plurality of heat transfer-enhancing structures, which extend from the first base side and are configured to exchange thermal energy with a cooling fluid stream, and a sound-attenuating region, which extends from the second base side. The sound-attenuating region includes a plurality of resonator cells configured to attenuate sound and a plurality of resonator cell openings. Each resonator cell opening opens from a corresponding resonator cell toward the plurality of heat transfer-enhancing structures. The methods include methods of operating the sound-attenuating heat exchanger.

Abstract: Shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators and thermal management systems including the same. An SMA actuator includes an SMA lifting tube and a process fluid conduit configured to convey a process fluid through the SMA lifting tube. The SMA actuator assumes a conformation that is based on the temperature of the process fluid. The SMA lifting tube includes a first end and a second end configured to translate relative to the first end at least partially along a lateral direction. A thermal management system is configured to regulate a temperature of a process fluid. The thermal management system includes a heat exchanger that at least partially defines a heat transfer region, a process fluid conduit configured to convey the process fluid through the heat transfer region, and an actuator assembly including the SMA actuator. The actuator assembly is configured to selectively position the heat exchanger within a thermal management fluid flow.

Abstract: Example bleed air and engine starter systems are described herein that employ a shaft-driven compressor to start an aircraft engine and/or to supply pressurized air to one or more systems of an aircraft. An example compressor includes a housing and an impeller disposed within a cavity of the housing. The impeller is operatively coupled to a drive shaft. The compressor includes a first port in the housing to direct onto the impeller to rotate the impeller when the compressor is operating in a first mode. In the first mode, the impeller is to drive the drive shaft. The compressor also includes a second port in the housing oriented to provide air to the impeller when the impeller is operating in a second mode. In the second mode, the drive shaft is to rotate the impeller to draw the air from the first port and increase a pressure of the air.
