Abstract: A rotary component includes a plurality of rotor blades operably coupled to a rotating shaft extending along a central axis of the rotary component and an outer casing arranged exterior to the plurality of rotor blades in a radial direction of the rotary component. The outer casing defines a gap between a blade tip of each of the plurality of rotor blades and the outer casing. The outer casing includes a plurality of features formed into an interior surface thereof. Further, at least one feature of the plurality of features is a slot having an acoustic liner feature integrated therein to reduce operational noise of the rotary component.

Abstract: Noise attenuation structures, such as acoustic liners for gas turbine engines, are provided. For example, an acoustic liner comprises a face sheet, a backing sheet spaced apart from the face sheet, and a plurality of cavities defined between the face and backing sheets. The cavities are defined by cavity walls. A plurality of backing sheet walls extends from the backing sheet toward the face sheet. The backing sheet walls extend adjacent the cavity walls, and the backing sheet is movable with respect to the face sheet such that the cavities have a variable depth. Other embodiments of noise attenuation structures also are provided.

Abstract: An aircraft assembly includes an engine, and intake, and a propeller assembly. The engine is mounted to at least one of a wing or fuselage of an aircraft. The intake is configured to provide air to the engine. The intake includes a body having an engine inlet through which air enters the intake. The propeller assembly includes propeller blades coupled to and driven by the engine. The propeller assembly is spaced an axial distance from the inlet opening of the intake wherein air passing by the propeller blades enters the intake. The propeller assembly has a propeller configuration that is at least one of sized or shaped to optimize performance of the propeller assembly based on an interaction between the propeller assembly and the intake.

Abstract: An airfoil of a propulsion device having a first riblet laminate with a first adhesive layer on at least a first portion of the airfoil surface and a first riblet array sheet disposed on at least a portion of the first adhesive layer. The first riblet array sheet defines a first plurality of contiguous geometric features having rigid peaks and valleys extending in a first rib direction. The first plurality of contiguous geometric features define a total width to total height ratio W:H of about 1:1 to about 2.5:1 with a maximum total height of about 0.65 mm or less. A second riblet array laminate is also disclosed in an embodiment.
