    摘要: An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a center body, a scarfed inlet structure and an inlet passage. The scarfed inlet structure extends circumferentially about the center body. The inlet passage is radially between and formed by at least the center body and the scarfed inlet structure. A first component of the assembly is configured to rotate about an axis relative to a second component of the assembly between: (A) a first position where a metering portion of the inlet passage has a first area; and (B) a second position where the metering portion has a second area. The first component is one of the center body or the scarfed inlet structure, and the second component is the other one of the center body or the scarfed inlet structure.

    摘要: The invention described and claimed in this application is a throttle assembly for a paramotor with an integrated locking mechanism which can be engaged to lock the throttle input in any position to maintain level flight. The throttle locking mechanism can be quickly disengaged as needed by squeezing the throttle control lever. The throttle locking mechanism is also able to be tuned when in the locked position as to attain the ideal engine input for level flight. The throttle locking mechanism can be preset and quickly returned to a designated power setting.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for using an aircraft turbojet engine comprising an air inlet comprising a plurality of rectifier vanes, each rectifier vane being mounted such that it can move between a retracted position to assist the thrust phase and a deployed position in which the rectifier vane protrudes from the inner wall in a radially inward direction in order to rectify the reverse air flow of the inner wall to assist a thrust-reverse phase, in which method at least one rectifier vane is in the retracted position during a turbojet engine thrust phase, the method comprising, during a thrust-reverse phase of the turbojet engine, a step of moving the rectifier vane to the deployed position.

    摘要: An inertial particle separator (IPS) for a gas turbine engine, has: inner and outer walls extending about a central axis, an inlet defined between the inner and outer walls and oriented axially; swirling vanes extending at least radially between the inner and outer walls and circumferentially distributed around the central axis, the swirling vanes configured for inducing a circumferential component in an airflow flowing between the swirling vanes; a plenum between the inner and outer walls downstream of the swirling vanes, the plenum circumferentially extending about the central axis, the outer wall converging toward the central axis in a direction of the airflow; and a splitter radially between the inner and outer walls downstream of the plenum and circumferentially extending around the central axis, a particle outlet radially between the splitter and the outer wall, an air outlet radially between the inner wall and the splitter.

    摘要: An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes a variable area inlet. The variable area inlet includes a moveable structure configured to move axially along an axial centerline between a first position and a second position. The variable area inlet is configured to open an airflow inlet passage into the aircraft propulsion system when the movable structure is in the first position. The variable area inlet is configured to close the airflow inlet passage when the movable structure is in the second position. The airflow inlet passage includes an inlet. The inlet extends axially along the axial centerline from a first end to a second end. A distance from the first end to the second end changes as the inlet extends laterally between a first side and a second side.

    摘要: A diffuser may comprise an inlet and an outlet. The inlet may comprise an arcuate shape. The outlet may comprise an annular shape. The diffuser may transition from the arcuate shape at the inlet to the annular shape at the outlet. The diffuser may comprise a radially inner wall and a radially outer wall disposed opposite the radially inner wall. The radially inner wall and the radially outer wall may partially define a duct.
