Abstract: An aeroengine has an inlet system which includes at least one deformable wall disposed adjacent a peripheral wall of an inlet duct and a plurality of acoustic cells attached to a back side in fluid communication through respective holes in the at least one deformable wall with an inlet duct air flow. The at least one deformable wall selectively forms part of the peripheral wall of the inlet duct when in an undeployed position and selectively forms a curved profile projecting into the inlet duct to reduce line-of-sight noise propagation through he inlet duct.

Abstract: An aeroengine is provided with a splitter apparatus disposed in a section of ain inlet duct. The splitter apparatus can be actuated from a stowed position to a deployed position to allow splitter(s) to selectively move from out of the inlet flow to a position extending into the inlet duct to divide the inlet flow into multiple passages.

Abstract: Aircraft power plants including hydrogen turbo-expanders, and associated methods are provided. One method of operating an aircraft power plant includes: driving a load onboard an aircraft with a combustion engine; heating a solid metal hydride onboard the aircraft to cause hydrogen gas to be released from the solid metal hydride; expanding the hydrogen gas through a turbo-expander to produce work; and using the work produced by the turbo-expander to drive the load.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and a system for controlling operation of an engine of an aircraft. The method comprises, at a controller of the engine, obtaining an actual engine output power for the engine, the actual engine output power based on a propeller rotation speed and a propeller blade pitch angle; converting the actual engine output power to a predicted thrust value; determining an actual engine power limit associated with a thrust limit of a propeller coupled to the engine from the predicted thrust value; and setting a maximum engine power limit of the engine using the actual engine power limit associated with the thrust limit of the propeller.

Abstract: A variable geometry inlet system of an aircraft engine includes an inlet duct. The inlet duct includes at least first and second sections moveable between extended and retracted positions such that the inlet duct defines a variable axial length of an inlet passage for selective flight conditions. The inclusion of acoustic treatment may assist in controlling noise.

Abstract: An aeroengine includes an inlet duct having a section including opposed and substantially flat first and second peripheral walls, a first deformable wall providing a portion of the first peripheral wall and a second deformable wall providing a portion of the second peripheral wall. The deformable walls are deformable between undeployed and deployed positions, and each include panels pivotally connected one to another to allow pivotal movement of the panels relative to respective adjacent panels about respective parallel axes oriented transverse to a direction of the air flow. The deformable walls in the undeployed position each being substantially flat to substantially avoid interfering with the air flow, and in the deployed position each projecting into the inlet duct from the respective peripheral wall to reduce an effective cross-sectional area of the inlet duct to reduce line-of-sight noise propagation.
