    摘要: Thermal anti-icing systems are disclosed. An example anti-icing system includes a housing defining an inner recess, a first support fitting, a second support fitting spaced away from the first support fitting. The housing is positioned between the first support fitting and the second support fitting. The first support fitting, the second support fitting and an outer wall of the housing define a heating chamber that is fluidly separated from the inner recess.

    摘要: A hydrogen-fuelled gas turbine engine has a fuel input path from a fuel input of the engine to a combustor, the engine further comprising a heat-exchanger located in the fuel input path and a fuel turbine located in the fuel input path between the heat-exchanger and the combustor. The heat-exchanger is arranged to receive waste heat from the engine core in order to heat hydrogen fuel introduced at the fuel input prior to input thereof to the combustor. The engine further comprises an air compressor arranged to be driven by the fuel turbine. The engine provides for most of the waste heat of combustion to be recovered and used without the need for heavy electrical or mechanical apparatus and is therefore particularly advantageous in aeronautical applications.

    摘要: Ice may form along the leading edge of an aircraft wing. A pneumatic deicing system may be configured to crack and dislodge ice along the leading edge of the wing. The pneumatic deicing system may comprise a deicing boot assembly having a deicing boot attached to the leading edge, and a gas generator fluidly coupled to the deicing boot assembly. The gas generator may comprise a propellant and may decompose the propellant, liberating a compressed gas. The compressed gas may be directed to the deicing boot assembly, inflating the deicing boot, which may crack and dislodge the ice.

    摘要: The invention relates to an air intake of an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle, extending along an axis X, in which an air flow circulates from upstream to downstream, the air intake extending circumferentially around the axis X and comprising an inner wall, which faces the axis X in order to guide an inner air flow, and an outer wall, which is opposite the inner wall, for guiding an external air flow, the walls being connected by a leading edge and an inner partition so as to delimit an annular cavity. The air intake comprises means for injecting at least one hot air flow into the inner cavity and at least one ventilation orifice formed in the outer wall in order to allow the hot air flow to escape after heating the internal cavity, the air intake comprising at least one disruption member of the external air flow, positioned upstream of the ventilation orifice, which extends outwardly from the outer wall.

    摘要: A piccolo tube for an anti-icing system may comprise an annular tube and a plurality of openings formed along a circumference of the annular tube. The annular tube may comprise a first cross-sectional diameter at an inlet point and a second cross-sectional diameter at a distal point. The second cross-sectional diameter is less than first cross-sectional diameter. The distal point may be 180° from the inlet point.
