Double inlets exhaust system for unmanned aerial vehicle
The dual inlet exhaust design for the flying device incorporates easy-to-assemble designs with low number of components, suitable for limited space and small volume requirements, good performance. The exhaust is designed as a three-chamber cylinder with two coaxial inlet pipes running through the two chambers on both sides, extending into the middle compartment. The width of the two inlet tubes in the middle compartment is different. The inlet pipe at the two compartments on both sides has a bore. The outlet tube is located in the middle compartment, deviating to the side with a smaller expansion inlet, with the longitudinal axis of the outlet tube passing through the inlet tube.

LOBED MIXER NOZZLES FOR SUPERSONIC AND SUBSONIC AIRCRAFT, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Lobed mixer nozzles for supersonic and subsonic aircraft, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A representative lobe mixer nozzle includes a fan flow duct aligned along a longitudinal axis, and a core flow duct, also aligned along the longitudinal axis. At least one duct wall, for example, a splitter, forms, at least in part, a radially inner boundary of the fan flow duct, and a radially outer boundary of the core flow duct. The duct wall terminates at a reference exit plane, and has multiple first lobes extending radially inwardly, and multiple second lobes extending radially outwardly. At least one lobe is canted forward relative to the reference exit plane, and at least one lobe is canted aft relative to the reference exit plane.
DISSIMILARLY SHAPED AIRCRAFT NOZZLES WITH TANDEM MIXING DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Dissimilarly shaped aircraft nozzles with tandem mixing devices, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. An ejector nozzle in a representative embodiment includes a nozzle duct having a nozzle flow axis, a first axial position and a second axial position. The nozzle duct has a first cross-sectional shape at the first axial position, and a second cross-sectional shape at the second axial position, with the second shape being geometrically non-similar to the first shape. The nozzle further includes a fan flow duct portion and a core flow duct portion, both upstream of the first axial position. An ejector duct is positioned in fluid communication with the nozzle duct, and has at least one portion with a cross-sectional shape geometrically similar to the second cross-sectional shape. A first mixing device is positioned proximate to the first axial position to mix fan flow in the fan flow duct portion with core flow in the core flow duct portion, and a second mixing device is positioned downstream of the first mixing device to mix the fan flow and the core flow with flow through the ejector duct, and direct the combined flow generally along the nozzle flow axis. A representative design technique can include selecting an axial position for, and tailoring the shape of, the second mixing device, such as, their spanwise spacings, to enhance flow characteristics of interest, e.g., identified via computational fluid dynamic techniques, that may appear at (e.g., only at) a downstream position.
Acoustically treated thrust reverser track beam
A thrust reverser track beam is disclosed. The thrust reverser track beam may comprise a recess defined by a reception surface and/or a perimeter surface surrounding the reception surface and extending away from the reception surface, wherein the reception surface and the perimeter surface bound a recess that is configured to receive a noise suppressing structure. The thrust reverser track beam may further comprise the noise suppressing structure. The recess is generally triangular in shape and may extend away from a plane. The noise suppressing structure may be generally triangular in shape and may extend away from a plane. The noise suppressing structure may be coupled within the recess of the track beam and/or to the track beam.
