AIRCRAFT NACELLE INLET

An aircraft nacelle air inlet comprising: a lip skin defining a curved surface of the inlet, the curved surface extending about a longitudinal axis of the inlet; a forward bulkhead; an inner barrel having a radially inner surface defining a surface of the inlet, a radially outer surface, and a sound attenuating layer arranged between the radially inner and radially outer surfaces; and a joining frame fixed to the lip skin and/or to the forward bulkhead. A first portion of the joining frame extends over at least a portion of the sound attenuating layer of the inner barrel and is fixed to the radially outer surface of the inner barrel.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING ICING IN THE COMBUSTION INLET AIR PATH OF A GAS TURBINE SYSTEM

A system and method for preventing icing in the combustion inlet air path of a gas turbine system. An air intake system of the gas turbine system supplies intake air to a gas turbine engine. The air intake system includes an air filter inlet house to filter the intake air. The air filter inlet house includes at least one filter stage having an array of pulse filters, with each of the pulse filters being hydrophobic. A combustion inlet air path is in fluid communication with the air intake system and the gas turbine engine. The combustion inlet air path receives the filtered air from the air filter inlet house and supplies the filtered air as combustion inlet air to an inlet of the gas turbine engine. A surface of at least one component in the combustion inlet air path includes an anti-icing coating to prevent ice from forming thereon.
