A hybrid air mobility system is capable of flying a long distance through effective operation of an engine and batteries. The hybrid air mobility system includes a fuselage configured to supply power to a propeller and electric equipment, the fuselage being provided with a duct including an inlet and an outlet so as to circulate air to the engine and the electric equipment; a deflector rotatably installed at the outlet of the duct so as to convert a discharge direction of exhaust gas generated by the engine and cooling air after cooling the electric equipment; and a controller configured to determine whether or not the engine is driven and to control a rotated position of the deflector depending on an amount of driving of the engine so as to selectively adjust movement of the exhaust gas and the cooling air towards the propeller.

A turbomachine module with a longitudinal axis comprising an unducted propeller rotated about the longitudinal axis and at least one straightener. The module includes a plurality of unducted variable-pitch stator blades extending along a radial axis, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, from a fixed casing. The module includes a first stator blade pitch-changing system. The pitch-changing system includes at least one first control that includes a first fixed body connected to the fixed casing and a first body which is axially mobile in relation to the first fixed body and at least one first joining mechanism joining each stator blade to the first mobile body of the first control. The first joining mechanism includes: a joining ring centered on the longitudinal axis, joined to the feet of each stator blade and at least one lever joined, on one hand, to the joining ring and, on the other hand, to the first mobile body of the first control.

The invention relates to a propulsion device for an aircraft, comprising a blade (2) which can be rotated about an axis of rotation (51) of the propulsion device along a circular path (52) and is mounted for pivoting about a blade bearing axis parallel to the axis of rotation; a pitch mechanism having a coupling device (31) and a bearing device (33); and an offset device (4) to which the blade is coupled, the offset device defining an eccentric bearing axis (41) which is mounted at an adjustable offset distance. The coupling device is coupled to the blade at a coupling point (32) which is positioned in such a way that the plane that comprises the blade bearing axis and the coupling point and the tangential plane to the circular path through the blade bearing axis include a certain, non-vanishing angle (w.sub.α) when the offset distance is set to zero. According to a second aspect the blade bearing axis is shifted toward the axis of rotation by a certain distance relative to the plane that extends through the center of mass of the blade and that extends parallel to the axis of rotation and to the chord of the blade.

A duct for a ducted-rotor aircraft includes a hub, a duct ring, and a plurality of stators that extend outward from the hub. The duct ring defines a trailing edge. The duct includes one or more fittings, such as a system of fittings. Each fitting has a body that defines a first attachment interface that is configured to couple to structure of the duct ring and a second attachment interface that is configured to couple to one of the plurality of stators. The first and second attachment interfaces are spaced from each other such that when the fittings are coupled to the duct ring and the plurality of stators, all or substantially all of each of the plurality of stators are located aft of the trailing edge of the duct ring.

A propulsion system is provided including an unducted rotating fan defining a fan axis; and a turbomachine disposed downstream from the unducted rotating fan, wherein the turbomachine defines a working gas flowpath flowing therethrough; wherein the propulsion system defines a third stream flowpath and an inlet passage having an inlet that is offset from the fan axis, wherein the inlet passage is configured to provide an inlet airflow to the working gas flowpath, and wherein the third stream flowpath bypasses at least a portion of the turbomachine.

A propeller having a central post to which one or more blades are connected. The blades are disposed and configured to pull air in from the propeller's sides toward the propeller's axis of rotation to create pressure in an area in the vicinity of the center of the propeller's rotating axis for generating thrust.

A method (600) for testing control logic for a propeller driven by a gas turbine engine of an aircraft includes overriding (602) a signal indicating the aircraft is operating in a ground mode. The method can further include testing (604) minimum pitch protection logic when the signal is overridden; determining (606) the gas turbine engine is operating at a ground fine setting; restoring (608) the signal to an original state in which the signal indicates the aircraft is operating in the ground mode; modifying (610) pitch protection logic; determining (614) the propeller is operating at an overspeed condition; and testing (616) the propeller overspeed protection logic. In addition, the method can also determine (612) the propeller is operating at a low pitch condition when the gas turbine engine is operating at the ground fine setting.

The present invention relates to rotating equipment, and more specifically, to high efficiency rotating equipment which generates thrust through contra-rotating or produces electricity. The rotating equipment includes: a plurality of propeller modules (10, 20) including a plurality of blades (11, 21) installed inside along a circumferential direction; and a rotary module (40) which rotates the plurality of propeller modules (10, 20) or is rotated.
