11215142 · 2022-01-04 · ·

A bypass turbojet nacelle comprising a fixed structure, a fixed cowl and a cowl movable in translation between advanced and withdrawn positions by a ram with a reverser flap movable thereon, and a deployment system comprising a first slider integral with the movable cowl, a first groove comprising a first part and a curved, second part integral with the fixed structure, a second slider movable in translation in the second groove part, a first connecting rod rotatable on the first slider and on the second slider, and a second connecting rod articulated on both the first connecting rod first end and the reverser flap. The ram rod is articulated on the first connecting rod. Moving the first slider from the advanced to the withdrawn position moves the second slider along the first part and, when the first slider reaches the withdrawn position, the second slider moves along the second part.

System and method for conditioning a fluid using bleed air from a bypass duct of a turbofan engine

Systems and methods for conditioning a fluid using bleed air from a bypass duct of a turbofan engine are disclosed. The system comprises a heat exchanger configured to facilitate heat transfer between a flow of bleed air from the bypass duct of the turbofan engine and the fluid, and a fluid propeller configured to drive the bleed air through the heat exchanger. The fluid propeller is disposed downstream of the heat exchanger.

MOTOR DRIVEN PUMP FOR VARIABLE SPEED POWER GENERATION COOLING

An aircraft oil management system includes a generator, pump, and pump control system. The generator is mechanically coupled to a prime mover via a the rotor shaft and is configured to output three-phase power. The pump is mechanically decoupled from the rotor shaft and delivers oil to the generator. The pump control system drives the pump independent of a rotational speed of the rotor shaft.

Sump cover assembly for generator

Disclosed is a sump cover for a sump basin of a generator of an aircraft, the sump cover having: a sump cover shell shaped as an inverted bowl, a front portion of the sump cover shell including a first plurality of fastener features, each configured to fasten to one of a second plurality of fastener features in the sump basin; and a sump cover support extending outwardly from the sump cover shell, past a perimeter edge of the sump cover shell, configured to fit through a sump port and against a sump tube of the sump basin, wherein the sump cover support and the first plurality of fastener features define a multi-point mounting configuration between the sump cover and the sump basin.
