    摘要: A gas turbine engine for an aircraft includes a core engine assembly including a compressor section communicating air to a combustor section where the air is mixed with fuel and ignited to generate a high-energy gas flow that is expanded through a turbine section. The turbine section is coupled to drive the compressor section. A free turbine is configured to be driven by gas flow from the core engine. A propulsor section aft of the core engine and is driven by the free turbine. An exhaust duct routes exhaust gases from the core engine to the free turbine. The free turbine is disposed aft of the propulsor section and the exhaust duct includes an outlet aft of the propulsor section communicating gas flow to drive the free turbine. An aircraft is also disclosed.

    摘要: A gearbox for a gas turbine engine with a rotatably mounted structural component that is formed with an at least approximately rotationally symmetrical duct into which, starting from its radially inner area, oil from an oil supply which is fixedly attached at the housing can be introduced. Starting from the oil supply, an introduction direction of the oil into the duct encloses an angle of 90° or an angle of between 60° and 90° with the axial extension direction of the duct. Additionally, in the circumferential direction of the duct, the introduction direction of the oil encloses an angle with the radial extension direction that is larger than or equal to 0° and smaller than 90°.

    摘要: A high efficiency power plant for a UAV with a high pressure ratio gas turbine engine used for low power operation such as loiter speed and a low pressure ratio gas turbine engine used for high power operation. A power turbine receives hot gas flows from the two engines to drive an output shaft. At low power operation, only the high pressure ratio engine is operated. At high power operation, both engines are operated where the exhaust from the high pressure ratio engine is used to drive a turbine of the low pressure ratio engine. A compressor of the low pressure ratio engine supplies compressed air to a combustor that produces a hot gas stream that is passed through the power turbine.

    摘要: A variable bypass ratio augmented gas turbine engine system for a UAV with a high pressure ratio gas turbine engine used for low power operation such as loiter speed and a low pressure ratio gas turbine engine used for high power operation. A power turbine receives hot gas flows from the two engines to drive an output shaft. At low power operation, only the high pressure ratio engine is operated. At high power operation, both engines are operated where the exhaust from the high pressure ratio engine is mixed with bleed off air form the second compressor to produce a second hot gas flow in a second combustor to drive the second turbine. The remaining compressed air from the second compressor is passed into a third combustor to produce a third hot gas flow that then flows into the power turbine.

    摘要: A pair of turbofan engines are cross connected such that during normal-mode operation horsepower can be shared by the respective cores, and when one engine core becomes inoperative the fan of that engine can be driven by the turbine of the operative engine to thereby maintain a substantial thrust output. In order to balance the respective thrust outputs, variable inlet guide vanes are controlled to decrease the fan mass flow in the operative engine and increase the fan mass flow in the inoperative engine. The variable inlet guide vanes are so constructed as to only partially span the fan duct so as to not appreciably affect the airflow to the core when the inlet guide vane angle setting is altered to allow the core to thereby retain a high level of supercharging during this operational period of maximum power demand.

    摘要: An aircraft having two turbine engines is provided with both torque and temperature sensitive electronic circuitry to control the fuel supplied to the turbine engines. Pushbutton switches are provided for the selection of the desired torque level by the pilot. The fuel to either engine is reduced, regardless of output torque and its relationship to the pushbutton values of selected torque, when the engine temperature exceeds a predetermined safety level. Failsafe operation is provided through the use of a main fuel supply path including a manual fuel control valve extending from the fuel pump to the engine fuel nozzles, and a normally closed bypass fuel control line which selectively diverts fuel from the principal path under the control of the temperature and torque responsive electronic circuitry. An electromagnetically operated valve in the bypass line is normally closed and is selectively operated to the desired open condition under the control of the torque and temperature responsive circuitry mentioned above, to reduce fuel supplied to the turbine engines.

    摘要: A torque converter is interconnected between the fan and core rotor of a turbofan engine such that the speed of the core rotor can be boosted from windmill speed to a speed sufficient to allow an in-flight start by selectively extracting power from the windmilling fan during the start sequence of the engine. Control logic is included to automatically drain the oil from, and thereby unload, the torque converter whenever the engine is in the operating speed region. Further assurance is provided by an overrunning clutch which decouples the system when the core rotational speed exceeds the converter output.
