摘要:
Control systems and methods for an aircraft propulsion system are disclosed in which the propulsion control system (140) is integrated to intelligently control aircraft propulsion and minimize transient effects from the power demands of other aircraft subsystems (120, 130, 152)

A geared turbine engine includes a first rotor, a second rotor, a gear train and an engine casing. The rotors and the gear train are arranged along an axial centerline. The gear train connects the first rotor to the second rotor. The casing extends circumferentially around the centerline and houses the first rotor, the second rotor and/or the gear train. The casing includes a casing door. The casing door includes a duct and a thrust reverser. The duct extends axially along and at least partially around the centerline.

The engine (10) includes a low spool (16) disposed aft of an air inlet (12) and a high spool (34) disposed aft of the low spool (16). An intake reverse-duct (44) is disposed radially outward of the high spool (34) and reverses direction of low pressure compressed air from the low spool (16) into a forward-flow high pressure compressor (40) of the high spool (34). A discharge reverse-manifold (48) directs flow of an exhaust gas stream (50} from a forward-flow low pressure turbine (20) into a rearward-flow direction and into at least one pulse detonation firing tube (54). An annular bypass air duct (72) directs cooling air along the engine (10) - The at least, one firing tube is positioned radially outward of the high spool (34), overlies the high spool (34) and is also positioned within the bypass air duct (72).

A fan blade comprises a main body having an airfoil extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The fan blade has at least one of a channel closed by a cover, and an end cap covering at least one of the leading and trailing edges. At least one of a cover and an end cap has a pair of opposed ends. A step is defined extending from at least one of a suction wall and a pressure wall of the airfoil, to an outer surface of the one of a cover and an end cap at one of the opposed ends, and the step being less than or equal to about 0.010 inch (0.0254 centimeter) in dimension.

A gas turbine engine comprises a fan, a compressor, a turbine having first stage blades and second stage blades, the first stage blades rotates in a first direction and the second stage blades rotates in a second direction opposite the first direction. The first stage blades are directly adjacent to one another, a drive in operable input connection with the fan and in operable output connection with the first stage blades and the second stage blades, the first stage blades and the second stage blades driving the fan through the drive.
摘要:
A turbine engine assembly includes a turbine engine case, a gearbox and a plurality of mounts connecting the gearbox to the case. Each of the mounts includes a linkage and a fuse joint. The linkage extends towards the case substantially in a first direction. The fuse joint is configured to substantially prevent movement between the gearbox and the case when the fuse joint is subject to loading less than a threshold, and to permit a constrained movement between the gearbox and the case when the loading is greater than the threshold. The fuse joint of a first of the mounts has a different configuration than the fuse joint of a second of the mounts.
摘要:
A gas turbine engine includes a very high speed low-pressure turbine such that a quantity defined by the exit area of the low pressure turbine multiplied by the square of the low pressure turbine rotational speed compared to the same parameters for a higher pressure turbine is at a ratio between about 0.5 and about 1.5. In addition, the lower pressure turbine is mounted with a first bearing mounted in a mid-turbine frame, and a second bearing mounted within a turbine exhaust case.

摘要:
A gas turbine engine turbine has a high pressure turbine configured to rotate with a high pressure compressor as a high pressure spool in a first direction about a central axis and a low pressure turbine configured to rotate with a low pressure compressor as a low pressure spool in the first direction about the central axis. A power density is greater than or equal to about 1.5 and less than or equal to about 5.5 lbf/cubic inches. A fan is connected to the low pressure spool via a speed changing mechanism and rotates in the first direction.
