Attritable Engine Additively Manufactured Inlet Cap

A turbine engine has: a compressor; a combustor; a turbine, a gas flowpath passing consecutively through the compressor, combustor, and turbine; and inlet member along the gas flowpath upstream of the compressor. The inlet member includes the unitarily-formed single piece combination of: a three dimensional (3D) lattice portion; and a nose cap body surrounding the lattice portion.

Integrated thermal management system for fuel cooling

A thermal management system for a gas turbine engine includes a primary vapor compression system including a primary evaporator defining thermal communication between a primary refrigerant and a flow of fuel to cool the fuel. A boost vapor compression system includes a boost heat exchanger defining thermal communication between the primary refrigerant. A boost refrigerant cools the primary refrigerant and a boost condenser in thermal communication with an air stream cools the boost refrigerant.

Pusher turboprop powerplant installation

A turboprop gas turbine engine mountable to an aircraft has an engine core and a gearbox driving a propeller, the engine core and the gearbox being enclosed within a nacelle. The propeller is located rearward of the gearbox and the engine core relative to a direction of travel of the aircraft. An air intake is disposed within the nacelle and formed to direct ambient air into the engine core. The air intake includes an air inlet duct, having a forward-facing intake inlet receiving the ambient air, with an upstream section and a downstream section. The upstream section is in fluid communication with the intake inlet and extends downstream from the intake inlet. The downstream section fluidly connects to and directs air from the upstream section into the engine air inlet. A second air outlet duct is located within the nacelle and directs air into an air-cooled-oil-cooler (ACOC).
