    摘要: A multi-engine system includes a first gas turbine engine that includes a first compressor and a first turbine. The multi-engine system may further include a second gas turbine engine that has a second compressor and a second turbine. Still further, the multi-engine system may include a first crossover cooling network configured to route a first crossover airflow from the first compressor of the first gas turbine engine to the second turbine of the second gas turbine engine and a second crossover cooling network configured to route a second crossover airflow from the second compressor of the second gas turbine engine to the first turbine of the first gas turbine engine.

    摘要: In one aspect, a method for dynamically controlling the operation of an aircraft having a first gas turbine engine and a second gas turbine engine may generally include receiving, by a first engine controller and a second engine controller, one or more operator commands deriving from an operator manipulated input device. The method may also include controlling the operation of the first gas turbine engine via the first engine controller, and the second gas turbine engine via the second engine controller. In addition, the method may include detecting a fault condition associated with the first engine controller, and subsequently switching control of the first gas turbine engine from the first engine controller to the second engine controller. The method may further include dynamically controlling the operation of the first gas turbine engine with the second engine controller.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an aircraft comprising a fuselage and a thruster downstream of the fuselage. The thruster includes a power turbine, located inside a main flow jet, and at least one fan, located inside a secondary flow jet and mechanically driven by the power turbine. The main flow jet of the power turbine and the secondary flow jet of the fan are concentric. The power turbine is supplied with gases from two gas turbine gas generators via two supply channels. Said aircraft is characterized in that said gas turbine gas generators have axes parallel to that of the fuselage. The air inlet sleeve is spaced apart from the fuselage, and the supply channels each have a hatch for controlling the flow between a position for guiding the gas flow to the power turbine and a position for ejecting the gases into the atmosphere while bypassing the power turbine.

    摘要: A power plant comprising two engine groups and a main power transmission gearbox. Each engine group drives the main gearbox mechanically in order to rotate a main rotor of an aircraft at a frequency of rotation NR. A first engine group comprising two main engines is regulated on a first setpoint NR* for the frequency of rotation NR, while a second engine group comprising a secondary engine is regulated on a second setpoint W2* for power of the second engine group. In addition, each engine operates with margins relative to operating limits. The second setpoint W2* for power is determined so that each secondary engine operates with a lowest second margin that is equal to the lowest first margin of the first engine group.

    摘要: A method and architecture for recombining power of a turbomachine improving on problems of size, mass, or reliability. In the method energy is recovered in an exhaust nozzle and converted and recirculated using a mechanical and/or electrical power recombining mechanism. An example of an architecture of a turbomachine includes a main turbine engine and a heat exchanger positioned in the exhaust nozzle and coupled, via pipes, to an independent system that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy. This independent system is connected to a localized mechanical recombination mechanism via a power shaft to supply power to a power transmission shaft according to aircraft requirements.

    摘要: A turbocharger system comprises a first relatively small turbocharger and a second relatively large turbocharger connected in series and an exhaust gas flow control valve. The exhaust control valve has an inlet port communicating with the exhaust gas flow upstream of the first turbine a first outlet port communicating with the exhaust flow downstream of said first turbine but upstream of said second turbine, and a second outlet port communicating with the exhaust flow downstream of said second turbine. The valve is operable to selectively permit or block flow through the first and second outlet ports.
