Laser Projected Engine Hazard Zone Systems And Methods
20180009547 · 2018-01-11 ·

An aircraft engine hazard zone projection system is described that includes an engine having an engine inlet and an engine outlet, and engine housing, and a light-emitting system connected to the engine housing. The light-emitting system is configured to project light on a ground below the engine housing so as to form at least one predetermined hazard zone surrounding the engine. The at least one predetermined hazard zone identifies at least one of an area subject to an engine inlet suction force or an area subject to an engine outlet exhaust force.

UNDUCTED THRUST PRODUCING SYSTEM

An aircraft includes a fuselage, a wing connected to and extending outward from the fuselage, and an engine mounted to the wing. The engine includes turbomachine defining a centerline axis, a fan, and an exhaust section with an outlet nozzle. The turbomachine defines a centerline axis. The fan is connected to and is disposed upstream from the turbomachine. The fan is disposed to rotate about the centerline axis. During operation of the engine, an exhaust stream is expelled from the outlet nozzle of the exhaust section. The exhaust stream defines a mean direction of flow in the downstream direction from the exhaust section. The mean direction of flow defines a first angle with the centerline axis of the turbomachine that is greater than zero such that the centerline axis is oriented downwardly along the vertical direction relative to the mean direction of flow of the exhaust stream.

Transpirationally cooled exhaust center body for an aircraft propulsion system

An assembly is provided for an aircraft propulsion system. This assembly includes an exhaust center body and a duct system. The exhaust center body includes an exterior skin. The duct system is fluidly coupled with a plurality of exterior skin perforations in the exterior skin. The duct system is configured to direct bypass air received from a bypass flow path within the aircraft propulsion system to the exterior skin perforations.

Off-set duct heat exchanger

A heat exchanger system for a propulsion system inlet duct includes a heat exchanger assembly that is disposed within an inlet duct assembly. The heat exchanger includes a heat exchanger with a front facing area that is greater than an area of the inlet duct that is transverse to a longitudinal length of the inlet duct.
