Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a jet noise suppression system having an enhanced suppression effect for an engine in high power level operation. SOLUTION: This jet noise suppressor for a gas turbine engine has no adverse effect on thrust and performance of an engine. The jet noise suppressor includes a nozzle and is provided with a disposition of tabs 40 arranged at a downstream end of the nozzle. The tabs 40 possess a squarish offset with respect to its length and an engine stream, and cause mixing at the boundary of the engine stream and ambient air. A tab shape which is a trapezoid having tapered side faces 55 reduces any adverse effect on engine performance.
Abstract:
A geared turbine engine includes a first rotor, a second rotor, a gear train and an engine casing. The rotors and the gear train are arranged along an axial centerline. The gear train connects the first rotor to the second rotor. The casing extends circumferentially around the centerline and houses the first rotor, the second rotor and/or the gear train. The casing includes a casing door. The casing door includes a duct and a thrust reverser. The duct extends axially along and at least partially around the centerline.
Abstract:
A disclosed example geared turbofan engine includes a fan section including a plurality of fan blades rotatable about an axis and a core engine section defined about an engine axis. The core engine section includes a primary nozzle including a primary outer diameter at a primary nozzle trailing edge and a primary maximum inner diameter forward of the primary trailing edge. A bypass passage a secondary nozzle that includes an outer diameter at a secondary nozzle trailing edge and a secondary maximum inner diameter forward of the secondary trailing edge. A ratio between the maximum inner diameter of the primary nozzle and an outer diameter at the trailing edge of the primary nozzle and a ratio between the maximum inner diameter of the secondary trailing edge and the outer diameter at the trailing edge of the secondary nozzle are both less than about 0.700.
Abstract:
A nacelle assembly for a high-bypass gas turbine engine includes a fan variable area nozzle movable relative to a fan nacelle to vary a fan nozzle exit area and adjust a pressure ratio of the fan bypass airflow during engine operation.
Abstract:
The jet noise suppressor includes a nozzle (20; 30), having an arrangement thereon of trapezoidal tabs (40) disposed on the downstream end of the nozzle (20; 30), the tabs (40) having a length (L) and the angular offset with respect to the engine flow such that mixing occurs primarily at the interface of the engine flow and the ambient air. In addition, various construction details are developed for the tabs including tabs that are trapezoidal with tapered sides such that the tabs minimize adverse impact to engine performance.
