    Abstract: A rotary engine includes an insert having a pilot subchamber defined therein and communicating with the internal cavity of the engine. A pilot fuel injector has a tip in communication with the pilot subchamber. An ignition element extends into an element cavity defined through the insert adjacent the pilot subchamber. The element cavity is in communication with the pilot subchamber through a communication opening defined in the insert between the element cavity and the pilot subchamber. The communication opening is smaller than a portion of the ignition element adjacent the communication opening such as to prevent the portion of the ignition element from completely passing through the communication opening upon breaking off of the portion of the ignition element from a remainder of the ignition element. An outer body for a rotary engine and a method of combusting fuel in a rotary engine are also provided.

    Abstract: A compound engine assembly with an engine core including at least one internal combustion engine, a turbine section, and a compressor having an outlet in fluid communication with an inlet of the engine core. A casing is connected to the turbine section, compressor and engine core. A mount cage is connected to mounts attached to the casing between the compressor and a hot zone including the turbine section and exhaust pipe(s). The struts are separated from the hot zone by at least one firewall. The mount cage may include a plurality of struts all extending from the mounts away from the turbine section and engine core. The casing may be a gearbox module casing through which the turbine shaft in engaged with the engine shaft. The mount cage may be completely contained within an axial space with the turbine section and exhaust pipe(s) being located outside of the axial space.

    Abstract: A compound engine assembly with an engine core including at least one internal combustion engine, a turbine section including a turbine shaft in driving engagement with the engine shaft, and a compressor, and a firewall. The compressor is located on one side of the firewall, and the turbine section and the engine core are located on the other side. The assembly may include a gearbox module with the turbine section and the engine core located on a same side of the gearbox module casing and the compressor located on the opposite side of the gearbox module casing, and with the firewall extending from the gearbox module casing. One or more rotatable accessory may be located on a same side of the firewall as the compressor. A method of reducing fire hazard in a compound engine assembly is also discussed.
