    摘要: An exhaust turbine includes a turbine wheel having a plurality of rotor blades, an exhaust outlet where the exhaust outlet is arranged downstream of the rotor blades and is delimited radial to the outside by an axial turbine diffusor. An exhaust mass flow can be output in an axial flow direction by the exhaust outlet duct and the axial turbine diffusor opens downstream, radially to the outside at a non-constant diffusor-opening angle, such that at a first diffusor-opening angle deviates from a second diffusor-opening angle by at least 1°. The exhaust turbine further includes a waste gate duct, the outlet region of which opens into the diffusor or directly downstream of the diffusor into the exhaust outlet duct. The waste gate duct is designed to generate a substantially axial flow direction of a waste gate mass flow at the outlet region of the waste gate duct.

    摘要: An aircraft engine, has: a low-pressure compressor and a high-pressure compressor located downstream of the low-pressure compressor; a gaspath valve upstream of the high-pressure compressor, the gaspath valve movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; and a bypass flow path having in flow series a bypass inlet, a bypass valve, and a bypass outlet, the bypass inlet fluidly communicating with the gaspath upstream of at least one stage of the low-pressure compressor, the bypass valve having an open configuration in which the bypass valve allows a bypass flow and a closed configuration in which the bypass valve blocks the bypass flow, the bypass outlet fluidly communicating with the bypass inlet via the bypass valve and with the gaspath at a location in the gaspath fluidly downstream of the gaspath valve, downstream of the low-pressure compressor, and upstream of the high-pressure compressor.

    摘要: Methods and systems for operating an aircraft having two or more engines are described. The method comprises operating the two or more engines of the aircraft in an asymmetric operating regime, wherein a first of the engines is in an active mode to provide motive power to the aircraft and a second of the engines is in a standby mode to provide substantially no motive power to the aircraft, receiving a request to exit the asymmetric operating regime, the request having at least one parameter associated therewith, selecting one of a plurality of available exit protocols as a function of the at least one parameter, and applying the exit protocol by commanding the engines accordingly.

    摘要: A multi-engine system includes a first gas turbine engine that includes a first compressor and a first turbine. The multi-engine system may further include a second gas turbine engine that has a second compressor and a second turbine. Still further, the multi-engine system may include a first crossover cooling network configured to route a first crossover airflow from the first compressor of the first gas turbine engine to the second turbine of the second gas turbine engine and a second crossover cooling network configured to route a second crossover airflow from the second compressor of the second gas turbine engine to the first turbine of the first gas turbine engine.
