Abstract: An exhaust nozzle assembly for a propulsion system include a primary nozzle, an outer shroud, an ejector nozzle, and an actuator. The primary nozzle extends along an exhaust centerline. The primary nozzle includes a downstream axial end. The outer shroud surrounds the primary nozzle. The ejector nozzle extends axially between a first axial end and a second axial end. The second axial end forms a nozzle exit plane for the exhaust nozzle assembly. The ejector nozzle converges in a direction from the first axial end to the second axial end. The ejector nozzle forms a mixing cross-sectional area between the primary nozzle and the ejector nozzle at the downstream axial end. The actuator is mounted on the ejector nozzle. The actuator is configured to move the ejector nozzle between a first position and a second position, relative to the outer shroud, to control an area of the mixing cross-sectional area.

Abstract: A method and a system for synthesizing output power provided by an engine are provided. The engine comprising a compressor section, a combustor, and a turbine section in serial fluid flow communication. The engine is operated and, during the operating of the engine, a pressure of fluid at an exit of the compressor section, a temperature upstream of the exit of the compressor section, and a fuel flow rate to the engine are determined. A synthesized value of output power provided by the engine is determined based on a product of at least a first factor, a second factor, and a third factor, the first factor being a function of the pressure, the second factor being a function of the temperature, and the third factor being a function of the fuel flow rate. The synthesized value of output power provided by the engine is output.

Abstract: An aircraft system is provided that includes a thrust rotor and a powerplant coupled to and configured to drive rotation of the thrust rotor. The powerplant includes a gas turbine engine, a drivetrain and a fluid motor. The gas turbine engine includes a rotating assembly, a compressor section, a combustor section, a turbine section and a flowpath extending through the compressor section, the combustor section and the turbine section. The rotating assembly includes a turbine rotor in the turbine section. The turbine rotor is configured to convert fluid power of combustion products flowing through the flowpath within the turbine section into mechanical power for driving rotation of the rotating assembly during a mode of engine operation. The drivetrain is configured to rotatably couple the fluid motor to the rotating assembly. The fluid motor is configured to boost the mechanical power for driving the rotation of the rotating assembly during the mode of engine operation.

Abstract: An aeroengine is provided with a splitter apparatus disposed in a section of an 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.
