    摘要: A thrust reverser system for jet aircraft comprising an exhaust tailpipe mounted to the turbine engine aft turbine flange and two clamshell doors, actuators and a locking system to prevent inadvertent deployment of the clamshell doors in-flight. Two improved design clamshell doors configurations, either one or a combination of both, mounted on either side of the top and bottom of the exhaust tailpipe, fitted with two patented design actuators mounted one on each side of the external sides of the tailpipe between the clamshell doors and the tailpipe, possibly in a depression in the tailpipe called blister, assuming them to be hydraulic actuators for discussion purposes. The actuators drive the clamshell doors using improved floating linkages loosely pivoted to the exterior of the exhaust tailpipe. The actuators are connected to the doors through mechanical linkages, to deploy the doors aft of the tailpipe exhaust area during deceleration after landing, diverting the exhaust gases forward to slow down the aircraft, and the actuators also drive two movable fairings during thrust reverser operation to enclose the reversed exhaust flow forward to prevent its impingement on the skin of the aircraft and provide a ram inlet area with the sides of the clamshell doors allowing ram air from the surrounding free stream to be scooped through the gap between the movable fairing and clamshell doors thereby provide cooling of the door surface in contact with the exhaust gases and mix with the engine exhaust gases in reverse thrust mode thereby augmenting reverse thrust mass flow and energy. The exhaust tailpipe can have a circular or any geometric exhaust section or in other configuration can be fitted in with a flow mixer with the surrounding ambient air to reduce shear noise resulting from the high velocity exhaust gases for noise attenuation. The flow mixer can also be perforated to allow for suction of ambient air by the lower static pressure engine exhaust gases to reduce shear noise and increase mixing and thrust. Two fixed fairings, above and below the tailpipe at the exit section can have perforations and also perforations on the movable fairings to educt surrounding air also to reduce shear noise between surrounding air and the engine exhaust flow during forward thrust based on SAE Aerospace Information Report AIR-1191 and method of calculation. Other configurations for the trailing edges of the fixed and movable fairings can have wavy contour lines to increase the contact area between the engine exhaust gases and the surrounding air to reduce shear noise as well. Fixed circular shape or rolling bodies, depicted as wheels for discussion purpose, but they can be of any shape, mounted on the top and bottom of the tailpipe at the forward end which get lodged in the upper and lower forward frames of the clamshell doors in the stow position to provide one of the mechanical locking systems. A second mechanical locking system is a high strength compression steel spring which is part of the linkages used to deploy and stow the clamshell doors, which at the end of the stow stroke is buckled to prevent the clamshell doors deploy mechanism from moving, thereby keeping the doors securely stowed. A third locking mechanism consisting of electrically actuated locks which engage the clamshell doors in the stow position and lock the movable fairings to prevent them from being entrained by the free stream during flight.

    摘要: A thrust reverser system for jet aircraft comprising an exhaust tailpipe mounted to the turbine engine aft turbine flange, clamshell doors, actuators and locking systems to prevent inadvertent deployment of the clamshell doors. Improved design clamshell doors shrouding the tailpipe fitted with two patented design actuators, enclosed between the doors and the tailpipe. The actuators throw the doors behind the tailpipe exhaust exit area using improved linkages attached to the tailpipe and the doors, to reverse the exhaust gases forward. The tailpipe can be of circular or any geometric shape. Reverse Exhaust gases are enclosed between the doors and two movable fairings. Several sound attenuation configurations provisions for the tailpipe, the fixed and movable fairings. Three independent locking systems provisions to prevent inadvertent deployment of the doors.

    摘要: An exhaust noise attenuation system mounted to a Jet Engine exit turbine frame for noise attenuation with an ULTRA THRUST REVERSER System mounted at the exhaust end, aft end of the exhaust noise attenuation system, to provide deceleration after landing of the aircraft. The exhaust noise attenuation system consists of double walled duct which can be either of constant circular, square or elliptic cross section or convergent section with variable cross-section area, made of sheet metal double walls with a perforated inner wall or skin except in the areas where there are solid non-perforated corrugations or hat sections which act as frames for structural integrity of the double walled duct, and a non-perforated outer wall or skin, with an appropriate noise attenuation material, assuming honeycomb for the sake of discussion since it is widely used, sandwiched between the inner perforated and outer solid skins of the duct. The sound attenuation material is placed in between the corrugations/hat sections over the perforations of the inner skin. The double walled duct is connected to a nozzle/ring bolted to the engine frame using two or more struts. In the shown figures the inventor used four (4) struts for depiction. Hinged inlet Doors are mounted at the forward end of the double skin duct, controlled by the pilot or the engine control system, to control the flow of ambient air sucked into the exhaust system by the eductor action, to optimize the engine performance, noise signature and reduce ram drag during flight. The doors can also be closed tight during flight to reduce ram drag and to create a smooth surface for the ambient air flowing over the surface of the exhaust system. However, the doors can be fitted with smaller doors or scoops to provide a limited amount of airflow to cool off the walls of the inner perforated duct. A movable exit cone can be used with the convergent duct configuration to optimize the exit area of the double walled duct to optimize the engine performance. An ULTRA THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM is mounted at the aft end of the double walled duct, consists of two improved design clamshell doors mounted on either side of the top and bottom of the double walled duct, fitted with two unique design actuators mounted one on each side of the external sides of the duct between the clamshell doors and the duct, possibly in a depression in the duct called blister, assuming them to be hydraulic actuators for discussion purposes. The actuators drive the clamshell doors using linkages pivoted to the exterior of the double walled duct, connecting the doors to the actuators, to deploy the doors aft of the double walled duct during deceleration after landing, diverting the exhaust gases forward to slow down the aircraft, but also drive the two movable fairings during thrust reverser operation to enclose the reversed exhaust flow forward to prevent its impingement on the skin of the aircraft.
