Abstract: A variable gear ratio gas turbine engine system includes a planetary gear set, a gas turbine engine, an electric machine, and a controller. The gas turbine engine includes at least a low-pressure compressor, a high-pressure compressor, a combustor, a high-pressure turbine, and a low-pressure turbine. The low-pressure turbine is coupled to the low-pressure compressor via the planetary gear set. The electric machine is coupled to the planetary gear set and its rotational speed is used, at least in part, to vary the gear ratio of the planetary gear set. The controller is in operable communication with the gas turbine engine and the electric machine and is configured to control: the low-pressure turbine to rotate at a substantially constant speed and the rotational speed of the electric machine to thereby vary the gear ratio of the planetary gear set, whereby the speed at which the low-pressure compressor rotates is also varied.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for exchanging heat between various fluids. More particularly, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for exchanging heat between fuel, fan-air, and bleed-air in an integrated heat exchanger. Thereby, a weight and size of the integral heat exchanger are reduced compared to known non-integral heat exchangers. Advantageously, the heat exchanger may heat fuel to improve engine specific fuel consumption (SFC).

Abstract: An aircraft system includes a main fuel tank configured to house primary fuel and a green fuel tank configured to house green fuel. The mixing apparatus is configured to mix the primary fuel and the green fuel to result in a predetermined ratio of mixed fuel. A controller selectively commands a first amount of primary fuel and a second amount of green fuel to result in the predetermined ratio of mixed fuel. The main aircraft engine is configured to operate, in a first main engine mode, with the primary fuel from the main fuel tank and to operate, in a second main engine mode, with the mixed fuel from the mixing apparatus based on commands from the controller. The auxiliary power source is configured to operate with at least a portion of the green fuel from the green fuel tank based on commands from the controller.

Abstract: A hybrid electric aircraft propulsion system at least includes a motor with induction effect to drive a propeller or propulsion fan. The motor is directly supplied from the electrical output of a generator. The generator is driven by a variable speed engine and as such the generator has a output frequency proportional to the speed of the engine. A controller is operatively coupled to the motor, the generator and the engine. The controller is operable to control a speed of the engine and the excitation of the generator to provide an output at a target voltage and frequency to drive the motor at a desired torque and speed.

Abstract: Bladed Gas Turbine Engine (GTE) rotors including deposited transition rings are provided, as are embodiments of methods for manufacturing bladed GTE rotors. In one embodiment, the method includes providing an outer blade ring having an inner circumferential surface defining a central opening, and depositing a deposited transition ring on the inner circumferential surface of the outer blade ring. The outer blade ring can be a full bladed ring or an annular grouping of individually-fabricated bladed pieces. After deposition of the transition ring, a hub disk is inserted into the central opening such that the transition ring extends around an outer circumferential surface of the hub disk. The transition ring is then bonded to the outer circumferential surface of the hub disk utilizing, for example, a hot isostatic pressing technique to join the transition ring and the outer blade ring thereto.

Abstract: An aircraft fuel deoxygenation and tank inerting system includes an inert gas source, a fuel deoxygenation system, and an air/fuel heat exchanger. The inert gas source is configured to supply inert gas having an oxygen concentration of less than 3%. The fuel deoxygenation system is adapted to receive fuel from a fuel source and the inert gas from the inert gas source. The fuel deoxygenation system is configured to remove oxygen from the fuel and thereby generate and supply deoxygenated fuel and oxygen-rich purge gas. The air/fuel heat exchanger is adapted to receive compressed air from a compressed air source and the deoxygenated fuel from the fuel deoxygenation system. The air/fuel heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat from the compressed air to the deoxygenated fuel, to thereby supply cooled compressed air and heated deoxygenated fuel.
