Abstract:
A gas turbine engine has a core engine incorporating a turbine, and a manifold positioned downstream of the turbine. The manifold delivers gas downstream of the turbine into at least two nacelles, with each of the nacelles receiving a fan rotor. The fan rotor is fixed to rotate with a tip turbine mounted at a radially outer location of the fan rotor, with the tip turbine being in the path of gases from the manifold. An aircraft is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An engine system has a gas generator, a bi-fi wall surrounding at least a portion of the gas generator, a casing surrounding a fan, and the casing having first and second thrust reverser doors which in a deployed position abut each other and the bi-fi wall.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a core engine including a central engine axis and a nacelle surrounding the core engine. At least a portion of the nacelle is axially movable relative to the core engine between open and fully closed positions. A ceramic-based liner is located at an aft portion of the core engine. The ceramic-based component mechanically interfaces with the movable portion of the nacelle when the nacelle is in the fully closed position. A turbine section and a method of accommodating thermally-induced dimensional change of engine components are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A nozzle assembly for a dual gas turbine engine propulsion system includes a housing mountable proximate to a first bypass passage of a first gas turbine engine and a second bypass passage of a second gas turbine engine, first and second upper doors, and first and second lower doors. Each of the first and second upper doors and the first and second lower doors are pivotally mounted to the housing for movement between a stowed position and a deployed position in which airflow through the first and second bypass passages is redirected relative to respective centerline axes of the first and second gas turbine engines.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine includes a nose cone at an inlet end, and spaced radially inwardly of a nacelle. A compressor is downstream of the nose cone. A core inlet delivers air downstream of the nose cone into the compressor. An inlet particle separator includes a manifold for delivering air radially outwardly of the core inlet. Air delivered by the inlet particle separator passes over a heat exchanger before passing to an outlet.
