    摘要: A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft includes separate axial and vertical propulsion sources. The vertical propulsion source includes pulsejet engines located in separate augmentor bays having apertured walls to equalize pulsejet thrust. The pulsejet engine structure is integrated with aircraft structure such that aircraft structural loads are partially carried by each pulsejet engine. Each pulsejet engine produces an aircraft vertical thrust component throttled or exhaust restricted to control aircraft ascent or descent separate from the axial propulsion source. One or more inlet cowls isolate the pulsejet engine bays. One or more outlet cowls at the exhaust bays assist in controlling pulsejet engine thrust. By using separate axial and vertical thrust sources and pulsejet engines for vertical thrust, aircraft speed, payload and operating range are improved and loss of one or more lift engines is mitigated compared to VTOL aircraft using a single propulsion source type for axial and vertical thrust.

    摘要: A pulse detonation cluster includes a cluster housing and a plurality of pulse detonation engines mounted within the housing. Each pulse detonation engine has an inner tubular housing rigidly and concentrically mounted within a cylindrical bore of an outer tubular housing. The inner housing has a plurality of inner housing ports, and the outer housing has a plurality of outer housing ports. A detonation chamber is formed in the annulus between the inner housing and the outer housing. An outer valve sleeve is rotatably mounted to the outer housing for selectively allowing air to enter the detonation chamber through the outer housing ports. A fuel delivery member is aligned with each inner housing port to deliver fuel to the detonation chamber through the inner housing ports. An inner sleeve is mounted to the inner housing to protect the fuel delivery members during detonation. The air and fuel mixture is detonated by several igniters located in the detonation chamber. The detonation creates a detonation wave that travels through an open downstream end of the detonation chamber, thereby creating thrust for the engine. When combined in the cluster housing, outer valve sleeves of the pulse detonation engines are rotated by a common gear, which allows the engines to be easily timed to share inlet air entering the cluster housing. A pulse detonation bank is a combination of two or more pulse detonation clusters within a bank housing having a bank inlet. All of the pulse detonation engines within the bank share the bank inlet and are timed to maximize consumption of inlet air.

    摘要: A pulse detonation rocket engine, having at least two detonation chambers. The rocket propelled vehicle includes at least one fuel delivery system in fluid communication with each of the at least two detonation chambers, and at least one oxidant delivery system in fluid communication with the detonation chambers, along with fast-acting valves to inject fuel and oxidant controlledly into the chambers. An ignitor in each of the detonation chambers intermittently initiates detonation of a fuel and oxidant mixture in the chamber, in a controlled cycle, to provide motive force. Also provided is a combined cycle engine, able to operate in air breathing mode, oxidant augmented mode, and as a rocket engine. The combined cycle engine includes at least one detonation chamber, and may include a plurality of such chambers. The invention further provides methods of intermittently detonating sequentially created fuel and oxygen mixtures in these engines, and methods of using these engines.

More particularly, a specially configured and slidable scoop is positioned between the booster exit and the compressor inlet in a gas turbine engine. An actuator mechanism can be coupled through a linkage to the scoop to position the scoop within the core path at low power conditions and retract the scoop from the core flow path at high power conditions.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a mechanical system that modulates airflow in an aircraft inlet diffuser that is used in conjunction with an aircraft engine that integrates both a center turbine engine and a high Mach engine such as a constant volume combustor (CVC) arrangement or ramjet arrangement with intakes formed co-centrically about the turbine. The modulation system uses an articulating cone. When in a retracted position the articulating cone allows the aircraft to operate in low speed mode as only the turbo jet receives airflow. At its widest expanse, the articulating cone completely covers the turbo jet circular intake face, precluding operation of the turbine engine.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a mechanical system and method that modulates airflow in an aircraft inlet diffuser that is used in conjunction with an aircraft engine that integrates both a center turbine engine and a high Mach engine such as a constant volume combustor (CVC) arrangement or ramjet arrangement with intakes formed co-centrically about the turbine. The modulation system uses two articulating components, a movable air flow duct and an articulating cone. The air flow duct, in a first position, is in exclusive air flow communication with the circular intake face of the turbine in a first position to receive air from the intake diffuser. In this configuration the expandable cone is in a retracted position and does not redirect airflow and allows the aircraft to operates in low speed mode as only the turbo jet receives airflow. In a transition speed mode, the air flow duct is retracted to allow air flow to both the turbo jet and the CVC. At its widest expanse, the articulating cone completely covers the turbo jet circular intake face directing air solely to the high Mach aircraft engine to allow the aircraft to operate in high speed mode.
