    摘要: At the time of an operation, high-pressure air 8 fed through an inlet 6 passes a stator vane 4 within a duct 15, so as to adjust its flow, and is supplied to a tip turbine rotor vane 3. The tip turbine rotor vane 3 is supplied with the high-pressure air 8 from the exhaust side 17 toward the intake side 16, so as to drive an upper fan 2 and a lower fan 14 to rotate in the same direction. This can shorten the distance H from a rotation surface 12 of the upper fan 2 to the end part of a fan casing 1 on the intake side 16, and thus reduce an area where a negative pressure occurs when receiving a crosswind 9, thereby lowering an external force 11 caused by the negative pressure.

    摘要: A tip turbine engine provides increased efficiency while eliminating or reducing the number of axial compressor stages by moving the core airflow inlet aft of the fan. As a result, the core airflow entering the core airflow inlet is the fan exhaust, which is already at an increased pressure. A portion of the fan exhaust is guided radially inward, then axially forward and then radially outward through compressor chambers in the hollow fan blades for further, centrifugal compression.

    摘要: A tip turbine engine (10) provides an axial compressor (22) having a compressor case (50) from which extend radially inwardly a plurality of outer compressor airfoils (54). The compressor case (50) is directly driven by the rotation of the turbine (32) and fan (28), while at least one gear (77) couples the rotation of the turbine (32) and fan (28) to an axial compressor rotor (46) having a plurality of inner compressor airfoils (52). In this manner, the axial compressor rotor (46) is driven in a direction opposite the direction of the outer compressor airfoils (54), thereby increasing the compression provided by the compressor without increasing the number of airfoils. The outer compressor airfoils (54) are formed on a plurality of outer airfoil assemblies (56) each having an arcuate substrate (58) from which the outer compressor airfoils (54) extend. Each of the outer compressor airfoil assemblies (56) includes more than one axially-spaced stage of outer compressor airfoils (54). For assembly, the outer compressor airfoil assemblies (56) are moved toward the axial compressor rotor (46) and then inserted into the compressor case (50).

    摘要: A nozzle arrangement for a VTOL or STOVL aircraft having an airframe mounted lift system comprises a hinged deflector door pivotally mounted on the underside of the airframe for exhaust efflux deflection. The door is movable about its axis to vector impinging exhaust gases rearwards during the transition between vertical and horizontal flight, and in addition comprises a pair of lateral sidewalls which are movable in the plane of the door to direct the exhaust efflux sideways for improved aircraft yaw control.

    摘要: A tip turbine engine has a more efficient core airflow path from the hollow fan blades, through the combustor and to the combustion chamber of a combustor. The turbine engine includes a rotatable fan having a plurality of radially-extending fan blades each defining compressor chambers extending radially therein. A turbine is mounted to the outer periphery of the fan. A diffuser at a radially outer end of each compressor chamber turns core airflow through the compressor chamber toward the combustor. The high velocity, high pressure core airflow from the compressor chambers in the hollow fan blades is diffused before the compressed core airflow enters the combustor, thereby improving the efficiency of the tip turbine engine. Further, the overall diameter of the tip turbine engine is reduced by the arrangement of the diffuser case in a position not directly radially outward of the fan blades.

    摘要: The invention is a novel aircraft propulsion system architecture that delivers thrust at minimum fuel consumption rates with the side benefits of noise and pollution emission abatement. The invention implements three technologies: a. Unique turbine nozzle design allowing for a cooling cycle, thus increasing its thermal efficiency. b. Specific jet-drive design propelling the fan blades allowing for power amplification. At any given shaft velocity, the output torque of a machine is proportional to shaft power. Jet-driven torque is insensitive to velocity. For nozzle velocities greater than 550 fps, there is power amplification (et propulsion principle). c. Specific exhaust and waste heat regeneration design increasing the fanjet thrust with no additional fuel consumption. This aircraft propulsion system invention is henceforth called APS.
