摘要:
System includes a nozzle connected to turbine exhaust outlet to confine and direct gas stream. Nozzle is corrugated to form peripherally spaced radially extending lobes to divide gas into small jet streams. Conduit surrounds exhaust outlet and discharges to exterior of nozzle, and fan air flows through passages between lobes to meet gas streams at exit margin of nozzle. Shroud or ejector sleeve defines and surrounds a mixing zone aft of the exit margin. Leading edge of shroud is spaced aft of fan air conduit to provide annular flow path for entry of ambient air to surround and mix with fan air and gas. Shroud is retractable to surround nozzle in spaced relation and prevent dispersion of fan air before mixing in normal cruising flight.

Support means carried by engine housing has pivotal mounting means at aft end. Support means is axially slidable between forward stowed position and aft deployed position. In latter, pivotal mounting means is adjacent to nozzle exit. Noise shield is swingably mounted on mounting means to swing vertically on lateral axis. Shield is elongate and preferably trough shaped to surround jet stream and reflect noise upward. Optimum results require holding shield at suitable angle to intercept expansion boundary of jet stream. Upper or inner surface of shield is formed with leading edge lip contiguous to jet stream at nozzle exit, followed by depressed forward portion, raised intermediate portion and tapered aft portion. Leading edge lip produces Coanda-type attachment to jet stream, depressed portion produces reduced static pressure to urge shield into interception position, and tapered aft portion produces increasing pressure gradient to oppose effect of forward portion and trim shield to position for optimum thrust and noise attenuation. When support means is stowed, shield is carried forward to stow in streamlined relation to engine housing.

Engine of either turbo fan or turbojet type is provided with multiple lobed exhaust nozzle. An ejector barrel defining a mixing zone is adapted to be connected at its leading edge to the lobe tips adjacent to the nozzle exit plane to receive engine gases and free stream air. A plenum chamber in the forward portion of the barrel has inlet ports in flow communication with tip portions of lobes, and guide vanes extend forward into lobes to split the mixed engine gases and guide outer streams into plenum chamber inlet ports while inner streams flow directly to mixing zone. An annular control nozzle at aft end of plenum chamber discharges high pressure gases into intermediate section of mixing zone to form a gaseous ring surrounding the other gases. The high velocity flow at inner wall increases total flow and makes velocity profile more uniform, and further mixing with adjacent gases reduced sound level. Design of control nozzle determines profile of gaseous ring which becomes virtual aerodynamic profile of aft portion of ejector barrel, which may be convergent-divergent nozzle shape for optimum cruise conditions of a high subsonic aircraft. Nozzle may also be adjustable to produce varying profiles for varying flight regimes. Basic design makes it possible to incorporate thrust reverser in aft portion of ejector barrel.

The jetstream flowing through a tubular thrust ejector is prevented from detaching from the inner surface thereof by admitting a portion of the boundary layer of said jetstream into holes which terminate within an area encircling the aft portion of said inner surface and which communicate with the forward portion of the ejector throat.

A panel of substantially hemicylindrical form is mounted on the engine nacelle of a jet-propelled aircraft with the longitudinal axis of the panel extending axially of the nacelle. The panel is movable axially of the nacelle between a retracted position wherein it is alongside the latter and a deployed position wherein it is disposed downstream from the nacelle and tilted upwardly at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the thrust nozzle of the engine contained in the nacelle so as to intercept the expansion boundary of the jet stream issuing from said nozzle several nozzle diameters downstream of the nozzle. Means are provided for moving the panel between its retracted and deployed positions.
摘要:
A tubular ejector is mounted on the nacelle of a jet-propelled aircraft so that it can be stowed alongside the nacelle or positioned downstream therefrom. A pair of hemicylindrical panels are mounted on the lower portion of the outer side of the ejector for movement between a stowed position alongside the ejector and a deployed position wherein one of the panels projects from the aft end of the ejector and the other panel projects from the aft end of said one panel. The jet stream flowing through the ejector is prevented from detaching from the inner surface thereof by admitting a portion of the boundary layer of said jet stream into holes which terminate within an area encircling the aft portion of said inner surface and which communicate with the forward portion of the ejector throat.
摘要:
Support means carried by an aircraft jet engine housing has pivots at its aft end and is slidable axially of the housing between forward stowed position and aft deployed position, said pivots being located adjacent exit of engine nozzle in latter position. Elongate shield is mounted on the pivots to swing vertically about an axis transverse to longitudinal axis of housing, and is preferably trough-shaped to surround jetstream discharged from the nozzle and reflect noise upward. Aft end of shield is supported or forced up in flight by aerodynamic reacting vanes mounted on inner side of said aft end. When support means is stowed, shield is carried forward to stow in streamlined relation to housing.
