In a by-pass gas turbine engine having a lobed type by-pass air and turbine exhaust mixer unit, the reheat gutters are arranged in the mixer in the turbine exhaust duct. The gutters extend radially and are substantially Y-shaped, each of the two legs of the Y extending radially along the sides of a mixer lobe.

A gas turbine reheat system is provided with channel-shaped gutters, with a wall portion spaced from each gutter to form a space therebetween. The space is supplied with cooling air conveniently from the engine by-pass duct.

An aircraft having a gas turbine engine with vectorable cold and hot nozzles. The aircraft is provided with a ducting in the wing which extends from an inlet facing downwards to an outlet in the upper surface of the wing directed rearwardly. The cold vectorable nozzles of the engine are designed so that they can be swung from a vertical downward position to provide vertical lift to a horizontal position directed rearwardly to produce forward thrust, to a position where they are directed upwardly and discharged into the ducting 24. In this way, the air discharged through the outlet of the ducting 24 enhances the aerodynamic lift produced by the wing at slower speeds by inducing the air flow over the wing. In addition, the forward component of the thrust produced in the ducting provides a forward thrust on the aircraft, whilst additional forward thrust is produced by swiveling the hot nozzles.

A method of manufacturing a bladed disc from a fiber reinforced composite material which comprises injecting a mixture of short fibers and a matrix material into a dividable die so configured as to define the form of a disc having integral radially extending aerofoil blades. The mixture is injected into the die at such a location that the short fibers within the aerofoil-defining portions of the die are radially aligned. The die contains two support rings which are coaxially disposed within the bladed disc after injection molding so as to provide radial support for the aerofoil blades of the thus formed bladed disc. The method may be modified to provide the bladed disc with an integral shroud.

A gas turbine jet propulsion engine has a rectangular exhaust gas outlet 14. A pair of U-shaped tracks 21,22 one on each side of the outlet and which extend downstream of it, support rollers carrying the plates 24a etc. of a pair of articulated deflectors 24,26, one above and one below the outlet. The deflectors are translatable along the tracks between the final exhaust discharge opening of the engine. The configurations include a convergent divergent nozzle, a thrust vectoring nozzle and thrust reversing outlets.

A reinforced tubular core for casting gas turbine engine blades with cooling air passages therein is disclosed. A method of casting is also disclosed in which the blades are directionally solidified to produce columnar grained or single crystal blades and in which non-linear passages can be produced. The problem in producing such articles is that the moulds and cores used in the casting process are held at temperatures in excess of 1500.degree. for long periods and presently used Silica cores deform during the process. Stronger cores of Alumina or Silicon Nitride cannot be easily bent were believed to be non-leachable from the casting. The present invention provides a core having a tubular silica sheath with a solid alumina rod inside it for support. The sheath can be bent and the straight alumina rods can be inserted from opposite ends of the sheath.

It is known to apply coatings which have desired characteristics, e.g., wear resistance, thermal barrier capabilities anti-oxidation, to articles the material of which does not have the desired characteristic, wherein the coating is applied directly to the article. Some article materials, e.g. titanium are highly reactive which immediately obviates several known methods of applying coatings. The invention uses a member (12) which would normally be preformed to mate with the article surface to be coated. The member (12) is manufactured from cheap, non-reactive material, as a base to which the coating (14) is applied by the most suitable of any of the known means. The member (12) is then placed against the article with the coating (14) therebetween and the whole hot isostatically pressed. The member (12) is afterwards removed, e.g. by machining or etching.
摘要:
A fuel control unit forms part of a control system of a gas turbine aeroengine. The control unit is in communication with a main fuel line leading to the aeroengine and comprises a fuel accumulator, i.e. volume varied by free piston, which is controllable by the control system to take fuel from the fuel line to reduce temporarily but substantially the mass flow of fuel to the aeroengine. This is helpful in combating surge conditions in the aeroengine caused by temporary overfueling of the aeroengine by the fuel control system.
摘要:
Surge conditions in the compressor of a gas turbine aeroengine can be automatically controlled by a surge control system in which compressor outlet pressure is monitored and a signal P corresponding to it is processed in a surge detector to determine the ratio P/P and to compare the value of the ratio with a predetermined reference value, surge correction control signals being outputted whenever a surge is detected. Surge is controlled as these signals actuate various units linked with the surge detector, these units achieving bleeding off of air from the compressor, reduction of the mass flow of fuel to the aeroengine, and maintenance of fuel ignition for a predetermined period.
摘要:
A gas turbine engine is of a size suitable for generating electrical and heat energy for domestic and other purposes. The engine has a low number of components, and some of the components are capable of performing more than one function. For example, the engine has a centrifugal compressor driven by a centripetal turbine through a shaft. The compressor and turbine are mounted in a casing comprising a two part core and two end plates. The gas flow ducting is formed by surfaces on the compressor and turbine rotors, the core and the two end plates.
