A fuel leak detection system for hydrogen fuel system including a monitored component. The fuel leak detection system including a sensor and controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The sensor is positioned to monitor at least a portion of the monitored component. The sensor is configured (i) to sense a parameter corresponding to a hydrogen fuel leak of the monitored component and (ii) to generate an output. The controller is configured (i) to receive the output of the sensor, (ii) to determine, based on the output of the sensor, if a leak has occurred in the monitored component, and (iii) to generate an output indicating a fuel system leak when the controller determines that the leak has occurred in the monitored component. The monitored component may be a component of one of a fuel tank, a power generator, and a fuel delivery assembly.

A center vent tube aligning mechanism which aligns a center vent tube inserted into a hollow shaft is provided with: an annular portion which is coaxially provided with the center vent tube in an outer side of the center vent tube in a radial direction thereof; a flexible portion which protrudes in a direction along an axis of the center vent tube from the annular portion; an abutting portion which is connected to the flexible portion and which abuts an inner circumferential surface of the shaft; and a cylindrical sleeve which surrounds the center vent tube from the outer side in a radial direction of the center vent tube and which is supported by a reaction force that the abutting portion receives from the inner circumferential surface of the shaft.

A ventilation system includes a cavity, a fluid motive force device, and a motive fluid supply system. The cavity includes different ventilation level requirements for a plurality of modes of operation. The fluid motive force device includes a suction port, an outlet port, and a motive fluid inlet port. The suction port is coupled in flow communication with the cavity to be vented. A flow supply to the motive fluid inlet port determines a ventilation flow through the suction port. The motive fluid supply system is coupled in flow communication with the motive fluid inlet port. An operation of the motive fluid supply system determines a flow of motive fluid from the motive fluid supply system to the motive fluid inlet port. The flow of motive fluid to the motive fluid inlet port generates a ventilation flow through the suction port approximately matching a current ventilation demand of said cavity.

A center vent tube support device includes: an annular sleeve having an inner surface that comes into contact with an outer surface of a center vent tube; a ring formed of a pair of segments and placed between the sleeve and a shaft; and an annular nut for fixing the ring to the sleeve. An outer surface of the sleeve or the nut includes a pressurizing surface formed as a conical surface. Each ring segment includes a supporting surface formed as a cylindrical surface having a diameter equal to an inner diameter of the main shaft in a portion where the device is installed, a bearing surface formed as a conical surface having a vertex angle equal to that of the conical surface forming the pressurizing surface, a pair of side surfaces, and a pair of end faces formed as planes each spaced from a plane including the axis.

The invention relates to a measuring device for an aircraft engine, characterized by at least one probe device for measuring a physical and/or chemical state in at least one measuring space within the aircraft engine, wherein the at least one measuring space is fluidically connected to a cavity, and at least one air-conducting device, which is fluidically coupled to the cavity in such a manner that a fluid flow, in particular a gas flow, can be removed from the at least one cavity to a pressure sink. The invention also relates to an aircraft engine and to a measuring method.

A centrifugal fan includes a water outlet connecting an interior and an exterior of a housing at a position closer to a radially inner side than an impeller such that liquid at a bottom of the housing is able to be discharged quickly, and accumulation of the liquid is avoided, to ensure normal operation of the centrifugal fan.

The gas turbine engine comprises a gas generator (66), comprised of a compressor section (11), and a power turbine section (65). The power turbine section (65) comprises a power turbine rotor (81) supported by a power turbine shaft (93), which is mechanically uncoupled from the gas generator (66). The power turbine shaft (93) has an axial cavity (511) therein, fluidly coupled to a bearing sump (521) fluidly coupled to the compressor section (11) and housing at least one bearing (106) supporting a shaft of the gas generator (66). An air venting path (527) extends from said axial cavity (511) and leads in a combustion gas flow path (515) downstream of the power turbine rotor (81).

An articulating exhaust nozzle thrust reverser includes an outer articulating panel comprising an outer skin and an outer thrust reverser door and an inner articulating panel comprising a forward inner skin, an aft inner skin, and an inner thrust reverser door. The outer articulating panel is configured to pivot to vary a nozzle exit area. The forward inner skin is configured to pivot to vary a nozzle throat area. The outer thrust reverser door is pivotally coupled to the outer skin. The inner thrust reverser door is pivotally coupled to the aft inner skin. The outer articulating panel and the inner articulating panel may be individually operated to independently vary the exhaust nozzle throat area and/or the exhaust nozzle exit area.

A turbine engine having a drive shaft rotatable about an axis, a multi-stage compressor, a turbine section, a thrust bearing, and a balance cavity. The thrust bearing being provided between the drive shaft and at least a portion of the multi-stage compressor section and rotationally supporting the drive shaft. During operation of the turbine engine, a first axial force is applied to the thrust bearing by the drive shaft and a second axial force is applied to the thrust bearing in an opposite direction of the first axial force by the balance cavity.

The invention relates to an air intake of an aircraft turbojet engine nacelle, extending along an axis X, in which an air flow circulates from upstream to downstream, the air intake comprising an inner wall facing the axis X and an outer wall for guiding an external air flow, the walls being connected by a leading edge and an inner partition so as to delimit an annular cavity. The air intake comprises means for injecting at least one hot air flow into the inner cavity and at least one ventilation orifice formed in the outer wall to allow the hot air flow to escape after heating the inner cavity, the ventilation orifice comprising an upstream edge, the circumferential profile of which is discontinuous in order to generate turbulences, and a downstream edge, the radial profile of which is aerodynamic in order to limit the formation of pressure fluctuations.
