    Abstract: A particle separator includes a separator body in a primary fluid passageway of a machine. The primary fluid passageway includes one or more bleed holes through which a diverted portion of the fluid flowing in the primary fluid passageway toward a volume of the machine is diverted into an auxiliary flow passageway that bypasses the volume and directs the diverted portion of the fluid toward one or more other components of the machine. The separator body is coupled with the inner wall and/or outer wall of the primary fluid passageway. The separator body includes an upstream edge positioned to separate at least some particles carried by the fluid from the fluid as the diverted portion of the fluid bends around and flows over the at least one upstream edge of the separator body and into the auxiliary flow passageway.

    Abstract: A system for extracting foreign matter in a gas turbine includes multiple variable bleed valve (VBV) doors disposed on the outer engine casing between a low pressure compressor and a high pressure compressor for bleeding a portion of flow from a core engine flow path into a bypass flow path. The system includes an outlet guide vane (OGV) assembly having multiple guide vanes disposed within the core flow path and multiple support struts positioned downstream from the multiple guide vanes. Each pairs of adjacent support struts comprises at least one VBV door therebetween and a section of the OGV assembly located at an upstream side of the fan hub frame before the each pairs of adjacent support struts. Each section of the OGV assembly includes a first side with one or more guide vanes with trimmed trailing edges configured for directing flow into the at least one VBV door.

    Abstract: An engine strut for providing fan hub frame structural support and monitoring an air flow within an aircraft engine includes an airfoil coupled to the aircraft engine and has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is positioned upstream of the second portion with respect to the air flow. A shield is coupled to the engine and positioned between the first portion and the second portion. The shield includes a first side spaced from the first portion and defining a first flow path with the first portion. The shield further includes a second side spaced from the second portion and defining a second flow path with the second portion. At least one sensor is coupled to the aircraft engine and positioned in flow communication with the second flow path.

    Abstract: Provided is an engine health management system and method for determining health of an engine of an aircraft, that includes a data source interface which transmits data from internal and external data sources, a control module that includes a processor and a memory and receives data via the data source interface, creates evaluation methods for evaluating the data received to determine suitable data and storing the suitable data within the memory, and creates a controlled historical airport information repository to process historical data via the processor and generate airport information reports based on the historical data. The system also includes a central computing system communicatively coupled with the control module and the data source interface, which performs data enhancement techniques including linking environmental counts and accumulations with engine data.
