Aero-acoustically damped bleed valves are disclosed. An example variable bleed valve apparatus comprises a variable bleed valve door to actuate the variable bleed valve apparatus, and a variable bleed valve port including an upstream edge and a downstream edge, the VBV port to define a secondary flowpath, the VBV door to cover the VBV port in a closed position, and a vortex device at the upstream edge of the variable bleed valve port, the vortex device including a vorticity generating feature along the upstream edge of the variable bleed valve port.

An improved thrust reverser for an aircraft propulsion assembly includes redirection of the air flow for performing the thrust reversal by one or more closure membranes, i.e. by thin and flexible structures deployed across the propulsion assembly. The improved thrust reverser includes at least one closure membrane arranged to deflect at least one portion of the air flow in the direction of the evacuation structure when the thrust reverser is in the reverse jet position and an intermediate structure movable in rotation relative to the fixed structure.

A thrust reverser system is provided that includes a sleeve, a fixed cascade structure and a blocker door. The fixed cascade structure is within a cavity of the sleeve when the sleeve is in a sleeve stowed position. The blocker door is within the cavity of the sleeve when the sleeve is in the sleeve stowed position and the blocker door is in a blocker door stowed position. The blocker door projects in a radial inward direction away from the sleeve towards the centerline when the sleeve is in a sleeve deployed position and when the blocker door is in a blocker door deployed position. The blocker door includes a pivot attachment fixed at an end of the blocker door. The pivot attachment is configured to move in a forward direction from a first location to a second location.

The presented trailer pump includes a pump housing an inlet, an outlet, an impeller with a vaned diffuser, a hydraulically or manually controlled articulated universal joint configured on a drive shaft, a pivotal joint configured on an elongated frame. The universal joint and pivotal connections helps in angular adjustability of the drive shaft and the frame simultaneously. The trailer pump further includes an articulated delivery pipe connected to the outlet. The delivery pipe is configured to have multi-directional movement. The trailer pump includes an adjustable hitch tongue that can be selectively adjusted based on an angle at angulated frame or drive shaft, and a dual function jack stand and chock used to keep the trailer pump at definite height above ground when the trailer is parked, for easy coupling of tractor's hitch to the hitch tongue and to assist in resisting backward/downward rolling motion of the tractor and the pump.

A turbomachine turbine assembly having a longitudinal axis and including an exhaust casing, an ejection cone arranged downstream of the exhaust casing, the ejection cone having an outer annular wall for the flow of a primary air stream and an acoustic box arranged radially inside said outer annular wall. The acoustic box can include a radially inner annular wall and a connection member interposed longitudinally between the exhaust casing and the inner annular wall of the ejection cone. The connection member can be fastened to the exhaust casing and to the inner annular wall. The upstream end of the outer annular wall can be connected to the connection member with a degree of freedom in the radial direction and a degree of freedom in the longitudinal direction.

A gimbal assembly comprises a body, comprising at least one pivot boss projecting radially outwards along a first pivot axis (V) from an outer surface of the body; a gimbal, comprising an outer case surrounding the body and at least one hole projecting radially outwards along a second pivot axis (H) to receive a pivot pin to pivotally couple the gimbal to a fixed structure. The second pivot axis (H) is perpendicular to the first pivot axis (V) and the outer case is formed at least partially from carbon fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composite material. The outer case comprises at least one cavity on its inner surface in which the at least one pivot boss is located to pivotally couple the gimbal to the body.

A projecting portion is formed on a nozzle ring, projects to a radially outer side with respect to a cylindrical portion, extends in a circumferential direction, and is held in abutment against a housing from a side of a link plate. A plate is faced to the nozzle ring on a side of a nozzle vane, and is configured to form a flow passage in a clearance to the nozzle ring. A pin is inserted into a first insertion portion formed in the nozzle ring and a second insertion portion formed in the plate, and to which the nozzle ring and the plate are mounted while the clearance is maintained. A counter bore groove is formed in the first insertion portion of the nozzle ring on the side of the link plate, and cut out the projecting portion.
