A propulsion system for an aircraft includes an electric propulsion engine. The electric propulsion engine includes an electric motor and a fan rotatable about a central axis of the electric propulsion engine by the electric motor. The electric propulsion engine also includes a bearing supporting rotation of the fan and a thermal management system. The thermal management system includes a lubrication oil circulation assembly and a heat exchanger thermally connected to the lubrication oil circulation assembly. The lubrication oil circulation assembly is configured for providing the bearing with lubrication oil. Such an electric propulsion engine may be a relatively self-sufficient engine.

A system for changing the pitch of blades of at least one turbomachine rotor is provided. The system generally includes a control means acting on a connecting mechanism connected to the blades of the rotor and having a body mobile in translation along a longitudinal axis with respect to a fixed body, load-transfer bearing mounted on the mobile body cooperating with the connecting mechanism, and means for lubricating the bearing having a lubricant duct and extending radially above the fixed and mobile bodies. The duct generally includes first and second telescopic tubular parts that slide coaxially with respect to one another, the first part connected to the fixed body and the second part connected to the mobile body, and means for spraying lubricant into the bearing mounted on the mobile body and lubricant supply conduit mounted on the mobile body to connect the duct to the spraying means.

An exhaust nozzle for a turbine engine includes multiple daisy style corrugations arranged circumferentially about the exhaust nozzle. Each of the daisy style corrugations has a radially inner base portion and multiple lobes protruding radially outward from the base portion.

An aircraft with an integrated boundary layer ingesting propulsion having a mechanically-distributed propulsion system. The mechanically-distributed propulsion system may include an engine to generate a mechanical drive power, a drive shaft, a direction-reversing transmission, and a propulsor fan. The drive shaft may be operatively coupled to the engine to receive the mechanical drive power. The direction-reversing transmission may have a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft, the first rotating shaft operatively coupled to the drive shaft to receive the mechanical drive power, which is configured to redirect the mechanical drive power received at the first rotating shaft from a first direction to face a second direction at the second rotating shaft. The propulsor fan may be coupled to the second rotating shaft to convert the mechanical drive power into thrust.

A turbine engine that includes a stationary assembly, and a rotor assembly configured to rotate relative to the stationary assembly. The rotor assembly includes a plurality of unitary turbine and fan blades. Each unitary turbine and fan blade includes a single turbine airfoil, a single fan airfoil positioned radially outward from the single turbine airfoil, and a midspan shroud segment defined between the single turbine airfoil and the single fan airfoil.

A non-faired propeller turbo-engine includes a gas generator and a propulsion unit that is separated from the gas generator by an intermediate housing. The turbo-engine includes a housing and a radially internal ferrule that are coaxial and are connected by hollow radial arms. The housing of the turbo-engine also defines, in part, a gas flow duct of a secondary gas flow. Each radial arm is hollow and is traversed by at least one service of the turbo-engine. Additionally, at least one arm is traversed by a ventilation gas circulation duct from the secondary gas flow and which leads to at least one component from among a power turbine and a mechanical transmission of said propulsion unit.

A turbocharged gas turbine engine with an electric generator to provide electrical power for an aircraft (e.g., UAV) with multiple propulsor fans each driven by an electric motor, where the engine includes a low spool that drives a main fan and a high spool that drives a high speed electric generator. The low pressure compressor supplies low pressure air to an inlet of the high pressure compressor. A row of stator vanes in the high pressure turbine is cooled using cooling air bled off from the low pressure compressor outlet that is passed through an intercooler and a boost compressor, where the spent vane cooling air is discharged into the combustor. The low pressure turbine and the two compressors each include a variable inlet guide vane to control the power level of the engine. Bypass flow from the main fan is used to cool hot parts of the engine.
