    Abstract: An aircraft engine assembly includes a gas turbine engine having an intake channel configured to receive an incoming flow of air and form an intake flow of air, the intake channel configured to turn the received incoming flow of air from an incoming flow direction to a first axial direction of the gas turbine engine, the incoming flow direction reverse of the first axial direction, and an electric machine coupled with the low pressure shaft and located at the aft end of the gas turbine engine proximate the intake channel, the electric machine in heat exchange communication with the intake flow of air such that the electric machine transfers heat to the incoming flow of air within the intake channel when the electric machine is operated.

    Abstract: A screen for an aeronautical gas turbine engine includes a plurality of first filaments and a plurality of second filaments. The plurality of second filaments define a plurality of openings with the plurality of first filaments. The plurality of first filaments and the plurality of second filaments define a first arrangement in which the plurality of first filaments are perpendicular to the plurality of second filaments. Upon application of a force to the screen, at least some of the plurality of first filaments and at least some of the plurality of second filaments are configured to translate from the first arrangement to a second arrangement in which a size of at least one of the openings is configured to change from a first size to a second size.

    Abstract: A pitch change mechanism for an aircraft engine includes a unison ring, a plurality of crankshafts coupled to the unison ring and configured to receive a plurality of blades, an inner shaft coupled to the plurality of crankshafts and the unison ring, and an actuator cylinder and an actuator piston. The actuator cylinder is coupled to the inner shaft and is configured to move relative to the actuator piston along a longitudinal axis of the pitch change mechanism. Movement of the actuator cylinder relative to the actuator piston is transferred to a rotation of each of the plurality of crankshafts around a longitudinal axis of each of the plurality of crankshafts to change a pitch of the plurality of blades.
