摘要: A variable area nozzle assembly includes a fixed center plug, a fixed outer nozzle, and an inner nozzle. The fixed center plug includes a plug body and a protrusion. The fixed outer nozzle extends about the fixed center plug. The inner nozzle extends about the fixed center plug. The inner nozzle is disposed between the fixed center plug and the fixed outer nozzle. The inner nozzle forms a primary duct between the inner nozzle and the fixed outer nozzle. The primary duct includes an exit plane. The inner nozzle body forms a secondary duct and a gap. The gap is a nozzle outlet of the secondary duct. The gap includes a gap inlet and a gap outlet. The gap inlet is disposed upstream of the protrusion. The gap outlet is disposed downstream of the protrusion. The inner nozzle body is translatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the primary duct has a first area at the exit plane and the inner nozzle body is disposed at the protrusion. In the second position, the primary duct has a second area at the exit plane and the inner nozzle body is spaced from the protrusion.

摘要: Exhaust systems having adjustable nozzles and related methods are disclosed. An example exhaust system includes a nozzle. A portion of the nozzle is moveable from a first position to a second position to change an angle of convergence of the nozzle. The example exhaust system includes an exit area. The portion of the nozzle is at least partially disposed in the exit area. An opening is defined between the exit area and the portion of the nozzle disposed in the exit area. A size of the opening is to change in response to movement of the portion of the nozzle.

摘要: A method is described for reducing contrails during operation of an aircraft (100, 100′) having a heat engine 10. The method includes inducing a condensation of moisture contained in the exhaust gas (A) of the heat engine by mixing at least a portion of the exhaust gas with ambient air (U) of the aircraft as well as separating the condensed-out water on the aircraft. Also described is an aircraft (100, 100′) having a heat engine (10). The aircraft includes at least one nozzle (30) which is adapted for conducting exhaust gas (A) from the heat engine of the aircraft at least partially into ambient air (U) of the aircraft and thus to produce a gas mixture, and at least one separator device (40) for separating condensed-out water from the gas mixture.

摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine defining a radial direction, a longitudinal direction, and a circumferential direction, an upstream end and a downstream end along the longitudinal direction, and an axial centerline extended along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine includes a fan assembly including a plurality of fan blades rotatably coupled to a fan rotor in which the fan blades define a maximum fan diameter and a fan pressure ratio. The gas turbine engine further includes a low pressure (LP) turbine defining a core flowpath therethrough generally along the longitudinal direction. The core flowpath defines a maximum outer flowpath diameter relative to the axial centerline. The gas turbine engine defines a fan to turbine diameter ratio of the maximum fan diameter to the maximum outer flowpath diameter. The fan to turbine diameter ratio over the fan pressure ratio is approximately 0.90 or greater.

摘要: A jet engine includes a housing, an intake portion leading into the housing, and an exhaust portion leading from the housing. The exhaust portion includes an exhaust duct and a tail cone arranged radially inwardly of the exhaust duct. An engine portion is arranged in the housing between the intake portion and the exhaust portion. A generator is arranged in the tail cone and is operatively connected to the engine portion. A drive shaft extends from the engine portion to the generator. The drive shaft includes a first end coupled to the engine portion, a second end connected to the generator, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween. The intermediate portion includes a cooling passage that extends from the second end toward a terminal end that terminates short of the first end of the drive shaft.

摘要: A combined cycle propulsion system for a flight vehicle includes a compressor-fed combustion engine, and a multi-mode supersonic engine. The multi-mode supersonic engine includes an adjustable inlet section, a combustion section arranged downstream of the adjustable inlet section and including a first combustor portion having at least one rotating detonation combustor and a second combustor portion having a supersonic combustion type combustor, and an adjustable exhaust nozzle section arranged downstream of the combustion section. The at least one rotating detonation combustor functions as a pilot for the supersonic combustion type combustor.
