A gas supply system is provided herein. The gas supply system includes a fuel oxygen reduction unit having a circuit defining a gas flowpath for a flow of a stripping gas. A reservoir is in selective fluid communication with the fuel oxygen reduction unit and is configured to store a portion of the stripping gas from the circuit. The reservoir is further configured to be in selective fluid communication with the fuel system component when installed in a vehicle to provide the stored portion of the stripping gas to the fuel system component in response to detection of a purge condition.

A gas turbine engine includes; a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine in serial flow relationship; a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger having an inlet, an outlet, and an internal surface coated with a catalyst, the heat exchanger being located upstream of the compressor; a source of hydrocarbon fuel in fluid communication with the inlet of the heat exchanger; a source of oxygen in fluid communication with the inlet of the heat exchanger; and a distribution system for receiving reformed hydrocarbon fuel from the heat exchanger.

A torch ignitor system includes a torch wall defining a combustion chamber therein with a flame outlet passing out of the torch wall downstream of the combustion chamber. A fuel nozzle is mounted to the torch wall to issue fuel into the combustion chamber. An ignitor is mounted to the torch wall, extending into the combustion chamber to ignite fuel issued from the fuel nozzle. A cooling passage is in thermal communication with the ignitor for cooling the ignitor with fluid passing through the cooling passage.

An engine assembly includes a combustor wall with a first skin, a second skin, a core and a sound attenuation passage. The first skin forms a peripheral boundary of a combustion volume on a first side of the combustor wall. The second skin forms a peripheral boundary of a plenum on a second side of the combustor wall. The core includes a plurality of resonator elements between the first skin and the second skin. A first resonator element includes a first base and a plurality of first protrusions projecting out from the first base. Each first protrusion includes a first bore fluidly coupled with a first cavity within the first base. The sound attenuation passage extends within the core and is fluidly coupled with the combustion volume through an attenuation passage aperture in the first skin. The sound attenuation passage is fluidly decoupled from the plenum by the second skin.

A propulsion assembly having a propulsion system including an exhaust nozzle fastened to the nozzle wall on the outside thereof so as to define between them a chamber, and a heat exchanger system ensuring an exchange of heat energy between the hot combustion gases circulating in the exhaust nozzle and the colder fuel circulating in the supply pipe at least in part by thermal radiation through the nozzle wall. The heat exchanger system has a pipe portion arranged in the chamber and the exchange of heat energy takes place at this pipe portion. With such an arrangement, the heat energy of the combustion gases is transferred to the fuel for better combustion.
