摘要: An engine assembly including an engine core including at least one internal combustion engine each including a rotor sealingly and rotationally received within a respective internal cavity to provide rotating chambers of variable volume in the respective internal cavity, a compressor having an outlet in fluid communication with an inlet of the engine core, a first intake conduit in fluid communication with an inlet of the compressor and with a first source of air, a second intake conduit in fluid communication with the inlet of the compressor and with a second source of air warmer than the first source of air, and a selector valve configurable to selectively open and close at least the fluid communication between the inlet of the compressor and the first intake conduit. A method of supplying air to a compressor is also discussed.

摘要: An air intake for efficiently channeling a flow of ambient air toward an air inlet of a turboprop or turboshaft gas turbine engine is disclosed. The air intake comprises an intake inlet for receiving the flow of air, an intake duct for channelling the flow of air, and an intake outlet for discharging the flow of air toward the air inlet of the gas turbine engine. The air intake may comprise a scroll portion and a strutted portion configured to receive the flow of air from the intake duct and channel the flow of air toward the intake outlet. The strutted portion may comprise one or more vanes for interacting with the flow of air. The intake duct may be oriented toward a flow direction of the air pushed aft by a propeller coupled to the gas turbine engine.

摘要: An exhaust duct of an aircraft engine includes an annular inlet conduit having an inlet central axis, and at least two outlet conduits in flow communication with the inlet conduit. The at least two outlet conduits are located non-parallel to the inlet central axis. Each of the at least two outlet conduits include an outlet port defining a distal end of each of the two outlet conduits. At least one of the outlet ports is non-circular in cross-sectional shape.

摘要: An engine nacelle assembly includes a nacelle that defines a flow path between an intake end and an exhaust end, and a nozzle that is disposed at the exhaust end of the nacelle about a central axis. The nozzle includes opposing thrust reverser openings and thrust reverser doors. A cross-sectional area transverse to the central axis proximate a forward side of each of the opposing thrust reverser openings is oval shaped with an offset radius within offset arc segments that are aligned with the opposing thrust reverser openings and a first radius outside of the offset arc segment. The first radius is less than the offset radius.

摘要: An air intake for an aircraft propulsion system includes an air inlet duct and a flow control device. The air inlet duct includes an interior surface and an intake inlet. The interior surface extends from the intake inlet. The interior surface forms and surrounds an inlet flow passage through the air inlet duct. The intake inlet includes a top side, a bottom side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side. Each of the first lateral side and the second lateral side extend between and to the top side and the bottom side. The flow control device is disposed inside the air inlet duct at the first lateral side. The flow control device is configured to form an asymmetrical shape of the intake inlet at the first lateral side relative to the second lateral side.
