摘要:
A propulsion system coupled to a vehicle. The system includes a diffusing structure and a conduit portion configured to introduce to the diffusing structure through a passage a primary fluid produced by the vehicle. The passage is defined by a wall, and the diffusing structure comprises a terminal end configured to provide egress from the system for the introduced primary fluid. A constricting element is disposed adjacent the wall. An actuating apparatus is coupled to the constricting element and is configured to urge the constricting element toward the wall, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of the passage.

A variable core cowl vent nozzle system is described herein, the system including a core casing at least partially surrounding a core engine of a gas turbine engine, and a core cowl extending aftward from the core casing. The core cowl defines a core cowl vent area between the core cowl and a primary nozzle. At least one of the core cowl and the primary nozzle is movable to vary the core cowl vent area. A method for varying the core cowl vent area by moving one or more of the core cowl and the primary nozzle is also described herein.

The invention relates to a primary cowl for a turbofan comprising a primary body generating a primary stream to be ejected through a primary nozzle, and a secondary body generating a secondary stream to be ejected through a secondary nozzle, the primary cowl being shaped so as to be positioned downstream from the primary body and to define, on the inside of the turbofan, the path followed by the primary stream downstream from the primary nozzle and, on the outside, the path followed by the secondary stream downstream from the secondary nozzle. The primary cowl comprises a coupling to a system for supplying a pressurized gas and at least one perforation for injecting the pressurized gas, through the perforation, into the secondary stream. The primary cowl preferably comprises a ring which has perforations and which is rotated about the axis of rotation of the turbofan.

A turbine engine nozzle can include a primary outer wall extending from an engine core area to an annular wall terminus that surrounds an engine tail cone, to form a core nozzle. The turbine engine nozzle also includes a single engine core cowl extending from the engine core area to an annular cowl terminus to form a core compartment vent nozzle. The core compartment vent nozzle exhausts air from a core compartment in a trailing edge between the single engine core cowl and the primary outer wall.

A turbofan engine that includes a first flowpath, a second flowpath, a third flowpath, and a third flowpath exhaust nozzle is provided. The first flowpath is radially inboard of the second flowpath at a location upstream of a core section of the turbofan engine. The third flowpath is radially outboard of the second flowpath at the location upstream of the core section. The third flowpath exhaust nozzle defines a plurality of third flowpath exhaust exit ports through which gas traveling along the third flowpath may be discharged. An area or a geometry of each of the plurality of third flowpath exhaust exit ports is independently and selectively adjustable. A method for operating the turbofan engine includes independently and selectively adjusting an area or a geometry of at least one of the plurality of third flowpath exhaust exit ports to achieve a desired engine operation.

A gas turbine engine includes an outer case structure around a central longitudinal engine axis. An intermediate case structure is included inboard of the outer case structure. An inner case structure is included inboard of the intermediate case structure. A variable area exhaust mixer is included, which is movable between a closed position adjacent to the intermediate case structure and an open position adjacent to the inner case structure.

The invention relates to a primary cowl for a turbofan comprising a primary body generating a primary stream to be ejected through a primary nozzle, and a secondary body generating a secondary stream to be ejected through a secondary nozzle, the primary cowl being shaped so as to be positioned downstream from the primary body and to define, on the inside of the turbofan, the path followed by the primary stream downstream from the primary nozzle and, on the outside, the path followed by the secondary stream downstream from the secondary nozzle. The primary cowl comprises a coupling to a system for supplying a pressurised gas and at least one perforation for injecting the pressurised gas, through the perforation, into the secondary stream. The primary cowl preferably comprises a ring which has perforations and which is rotated about the axis of rotation of the turbofan.

A turbofan engine includes a fan variable area nozzle having a rotationally overlapped nozzle assembly having a first tab section and a second tab section rotationally mounted relative to the first tab section. The rotationally overlapped nozzle assembly changes the physical area and geometry of the bypass flow path during particular flight conditions.

A rocket nozzle includes a dual-bell nozzle and a gas introducing section configured to introduce gas into space surrounded by the dual-bell nozzle. Combustion gas flows in the space. The dual-bell nozzle includes a first stage nozzle bell-shaped and surrounding an upstream portion of the space, and a second stage nozzle bell-shaped and surrounding a downstream portion of the space. The dual-bell nozzle has an inflection point between the first stage nozzle and the second stage nozzle. The gas introducing section includes a gas inlet provided to an inner wall surface of the first stage nozzle. The gas is introduced into the space from the gas inlet.

A turbine engine nozzle assembly has an upstream flap assembly having a main flap and a liner, a cooling passageway formed between the main flap and liner. A downstream flap is pivotally coupled to the upstream flap assembly for relative rotation about a hinge axis. The liner has a trailing end spaced upstream from a trailing end of the main flap by at least 40% of a length of the main flap.
