An ammonia decomposition facility includes a heating medium line configured to flow a heating medium heated by heat generated by a gas turbine, an ammonia supply line configured to flow ammonia, an ammonia decomposition device, and an ammonia removal device. The ammonia decomposition device is configured to use heat of the heating medium from the heating medium line, thermally decompose ammonia from the ammonia supply line, and generate a decomposition gas containing hydrogen, nitrogen, and residual ammonia. The ammonia removal device is configured to remove the residual ammonia contained in the decomposition gas from the ammonia decomposition device.

Methods and systems for operating an engine coupled to a fuel system having at least one fuel manifold configured to supply fuel to a combustor of the engine are described. The method comprises, when the engine is active, supplying fuel to the combustor by supplying gaseous fuel from a gaseous fuel supply to the at least one fuel manifold, and when the engine is inactive, purging the at least one fuel manifold by supplying inert gas from an inert gas supply to the at least one fuel manifold.

A method is provided for operating an aircraft system. During this method, an engine is operated using first fuel provided by a first fuel source. A fuel supply for the engine is switched between the first fuel source and a second fuel source, where the switching of the fuel supply includes shutting down the engine during aircraft flight. The engine is operated using second fuel provided by the second fuel source.

A jet engine for propelling aircraft, capable of providing thrust from rest to high speeds is provided. The engine has an axial compressor (16) or several axial compressors located on the same plane and is driven by a gas generator. At the outlet of the turbine there is a gasification chamber (23) into which more fuel is injected. Combustion of the gases from the gasification chamber is performed in two combustion chambers (18) with a rectangular cross-section, separated by a central body (10). The exhaust of the gases is performed in nozzles, each with a square convergent/divergent cross-section (19) and (21). The cross-section of the throats (26) can be adjusted by means of two mobile elements (20). The final section of the central body (10) forms a wedge-shape (27), enabling the continued expansion of the exhaust gases.

A turbine engine system includes at least one hydrogen fuel tank, a core flow path heat exchanger in a core flow path; and engine systems located in the core flow path.

A cryogenic fuel supply system includes a storage tank, a mixing chamber, an auxiliary heating device, a heat exchanger, and flow distribution devices, and a controller. The storage tank stores cryogenic fuel in a liquid state. The mixing chamber receives various flows of cryogenic fuel in a supercritical or gaseous state, the mixing chamber being connected to a combustion chamber to supply the combustion chamber with cryogenic fuel in the supercritical or gaseous state. The auxiliary heating device heats the cryogenic fuel. The heat exchanger assembly includes a cryogenic fuel/oil heat exchanger and a heat exchanger between the cryogenic fuel and the air circulating in a primary duct of the turbine engine. A flow distribution device is upstream of the auxiliary heating device, and one or more flow distribution devices are disposed upstream of the heat exchanger assembly. The controller controls opening and closing of the flow distribution devices.
