    摘要: A variable-geometry convergent-divergent exhaust nozzle includes: a duct to receive exhaust from a combustor; and first and second flap assemblies each including proximal and distal flaps. The first and second proximal flaps are rotatably coupled to the exhaust duct and include entry surfaces that in part define a nozzle passageway to convey the exhaust to an exterior of the engine. The first and second distal flaps are rotatably coupled to the first and second proximal flaps. The first distal flap includes converging and diverging surfaces angled with respect to each other. The second distal flap includes converging and diverging surfaces angled with respect to each other. The converging surfaces define at least in part a convergent portion of the nozzle passageway. The first and second diverging surfaces define at least in part a divergent portion of the nozzle passageway.

    摘要: A jet vectoring apparatus has a nozzle (1) which comprises a throat aperture (8) and an exit aperture (9), the apparatus also having a post exit surface (10). Variation of at least one of the throat aperture (8), exit aperture (9) and post exit surface causes a pressure differential upon the post exit surface which permits the direction of propulsive jet flow (3) (also known as jet thrust) to be varied relative to the longitudinal axis (2) of the apparatus.

    摘要: A thrust reverse variable area nozzle system for a nacelle of an aircraft engine system may include a reverse thrust opening disposed in the nacelle, and a thrust reverser door pivotally movable relative to the nacelle for selectively covering the reverse thrust opening, wherein the thrust reverser door is pivotally movable between a first position for completely covering the reverse thrust opening, a second position for partially uncovering a forward portion of the reverse thrust opening and discharging a bypass airflow through the forward portion of the reverse thrust opening in a forward direction, and a third position for partially uncovering an aft portion of the reverse thrust opening and discharging the bypass airflow through the aft portion of the reverse thrust opening in an aft direction.

    摘要: A variable area fan nozzle comprising an array of rigid petals and a petal actuation system comprising left and right assemblies, each assembly comprising: a multiplicity of tracks attached to or integrally formed with respective petals; a curved pivoting ring segment; an actuator coupled to the ring segment; and a multiplicity of sets of cam followers spaced along the ring segment and aligned with respective tracks. Each ring segment is pivotable between first and second angular positions depending on how the state of the actuator changes. As one ring segment pivots in one direction, one set of cam followers exert inward forces on the tracks to deflect petals inward; as that ring segment pivots in the other direction, another set of cam followers exert outward forces on the tracks to deflect petals outward.

    摘要: An assembly is provided for a turbofan engine. This turbofan engine assembly includes a cowling, a door and an actuation mechanism configured to actuate movement of the door in response to receiving a control signal. The cowling is configured to form a compartment at least partially around a case of the turbofan engine. The cowling includes an exhaust port that is fluidly coupled with the compartment. The door is configured to at least partially open and close the exhaust port. This variable exhaust port may be opened in case increased airflow is needed through the compartment, such as when increased cooling airflow is needed through an environmental air precooler that cools compressed air for the aircraft cabin and the precooler exhausts its cooling air into the compartment.

    摘要: A gas turbine jet noise reduction apparatus including a variable geometry gas turbine engine nozzle comprising a circumferentially distributed array of nozzle flap panels supported for alternate collective splaying and gathering motion, with the collective splaying motion of the flap panels being from a narrow position defining a minimum cross-sectional area at a nozzle exit plane, to a wide position defining a maximum cross-sectional area at the nozzle exit plane. A plurality of nozzle seal panels is supported in a circumferentially distributed array within the array of nozzle flap panels. A seal panel actuator is operatively engageable with the seal panels to deflect the seal panels radially inward into respective deployed positions to reduce jet noise by increasing exhaust stream mixing with ambient air.
