    Abstract: An anti-icing exhaust system for an inlet of a gas turbine engine is provided. The system includes a first housing portion that at least partially defines a chamber to receive an anti-icing fluid and includes a projection. A second housing portion includes a leading edge. The system includes a support structure that couples the first housing portion to the second housing portion such that the projection of the first housing portion is spaced apart from the leading edge of the second housing portion to define a gap. The gap is in fluid communication with a manifold. The support structure defines at least one flow passage in fluid communication with the chamber and the manifold to exhaust the fluid. The system includes an insulation strip having a first end received in the gap and coupled to the leading edge; and a second end coupled to the second housing portion.

    Abstract: An accessory system for a gas turbine engine having a driveshaft with an axis of rotation is provided. The accessory system includes a towershaft coupled to the driveshaft and driven by the driveshaft along a towershaft axis of rotation. The accessory system also includes a shaft including a first shaft bevel gear coupled to a towershaft bevel gear. The shaft is rotatable by the towershaft along a shaft axis of rotation. The shaft axis of rotation is transverse to the towershaft axis of rotation. The accessory system includes a first accessory drive shaft having a first accessory bevel gear driven by the shaft. The accessory system also includes a second accessory drive shaft having a second accessory bevel gear driven by the shaft. A first accessory axis of rotation and a second accessory axis of rotation are substantially transverse to the shaft axis of rotation.

    Abstract: A pylon system for coupling an engine to a vehicle is provided. The pylon system includes a vehicle pylon to be coupled to the vehicle. The vehicle pylon includes a seal along a portion of the vehicle pylon. The pylon system includes an engine pylon including an inboard longeron and an outboard longeron. The inboard longeron is coupled to the outboard longeron at a first end of the engine pylon and is spaced apart from the outboard longeron at a second end of the engine pylon. The engine pylon is to be coupled to the engine, and the engine pylon is slidably coupled to the seal such that the engine pylon is movable relative to the vehicle pylon between at least a first position and a second position.

    Abstract: A sound attenuating cell includes a first sound attenuating cavity defined between a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The first sidewall is opposite the second sidewall. The first sidewall includes a first undulating surface and the second sidewall includes a second undulating surface. A deflector is coupled to the first undulating surface. The deflector extends from the first undulating surface toward the second undulating surface. The first undulating surface is axially offset from the second undulating surface to define a tortuous path between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The first sound attenuating cavity has a first end and a second end. The first end is opposite the second end, and an inlet and an outlet of the first sound attenuating cavity is defined at the first end. The sound attenuating cell includes a second sound attenuating cavity nested within the first sound attenuating cavity.

    Abstract: A translating cowl thrust reverser system with efflux management includes a support structure, a transcowl, a cowl shield, and a single cascade structure. The transcowl and cowl shield are moveable together between a first position, in which the transcowl abuts the support structure, and a second position, in which an aperture is formed between the transcowl and the support structure. The cowl shield has cowl shield turning vanes. The single cascade structure is disposed within the aperture and includes a forward wall, a curved vane, internal turning vanes, and external turning vanes. In the first position, each cowl shield turning vane is disposed between a different pair of external turning vanes. The cowl shield turning vanes, the internal turning vanes, and the external turning vanes turn the airflow so that it is directed substantially perpendicular to, and vertically outboard relative to, a plane of symmetry.

    Abstract: An alternating clockwise and counterclockwise helicoid cell structure for use in acoustic panels. The cell structure geometry may be easily replicated and tiled using additive manufacturing. The cell structure has at least an outer cavity and an inner cavity. The cavities are coaxial, share the same height, same entrance side, and same cell structure floor. The inner cavity includes a number of equal-volume inner chambers rotated uniformly in a first direction around the shared central axis; and the outer cavity includes a second number of equal-volume outer chambers rotated uniformly in an opposite direction to the first direction around the shared central axis. In various embodiments, one or more perforated baffles may extend, internally, across a chamber, perpendicular to direction of sound waves at the location of the perforated baffle. In various embodiments, one or more port openings from the outer cavity to the inner cavity may be present.
