Abstract: An aircraft propulsor assembly includes a fan having a nacelle and plural fan blades radially disposed within the nacelle. The fan blades are configured to be rotated by torque generated by a turbine engine of an aircraft to generate thrust for propelling the aircraft. The assembly also includes an electric motor including a stator in the nacelle of the fan and a rotor in tips of two or more of the fan blades. The electric motor is configured to generate torque that also rotates the fan blades to generate thrust for propelling the aircraft. The assembly also includes a controller configured to reduce or prevent an increase in an operating temperature of the turbine engine of the aircraft by automatically supplanting at least some of the torque generated by the turbine engine with the torque generated by the electric motor.

Abstract: A rotating detonation combustion system is generally provided. The rotating detonation combustion system includes an outer wall, an upstream wall, and a radial wall. The outer wall is defined circumferentially around a combustor centerline extended along a lengthwise direction. The outer wall defines a first radius portion generally upstream along the outer wall. A second radius portion is defined generally downstream along the outer wall and a transition portion is defined between the first and second radius portions. The first radius portion defines a first radius greater than a second radius at the second radius portion. The transition portion defines a generally decreasing radius from the first radius portion to the second radius portion. The upstream wall is defined circumferentially around the combustor centerline and is extended along the lengthwise direction and inward radially of the first radius portion of the outer wall. An oxidizer passage is defined within the upstream wall. A combustion chamber is defined downstream of the upstream wall and radially inward of the outer wall. The radial wall is coupled to the outer wall and the upstream wall. A fluid injection opening is defined through at least one of the radial wall or the outer wall adjacent to the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A cavity stabilized detonation combustor assembly for a rotating detonation engine includes opposing inner and outer walls that are radially spaced apart from each other and that both extend around a center axis of the rotating detonation engine. Detonations in the rotating detonation engine rotate around the center axis of the rotating detonation engine. The assembly also includes opposing leading and trailing cavity walls that are coupled with the inner and outer walls and which radially extend away from the center axis, and an axial wall that is coupled with and connects the leading and trailing cavity walls with each other. The axial wall and the leading and trailing cavity walls define a detonation stabilizing cavity in which detonations of the rotating detonation engine occur and are stabilized.
