Abstract:
An auxiliary power unit has a gas turbine engine, a generator, and a gear box. A mount bracket is mechanically attached to the gear box. The bracket is for connecting to a plurality of struts. The struts are for connecting to an aircraft housing. A shield box is formed of a flame resistant rigid material. The shield box encloses the mount bracket to provide flame protection to the mechanical attachment.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure includes an engine case, a multiple of fuel injectors mounted to the engine case, and a fire shield mounted to the engine case to surround at least one, but less than all, of the multiple of fuel injectors. In a further embodiment of the foregoing embodiment, the fire shield includes a sheet metal alloy layer. In the alternative or additionally thereto, in the foregoing embodiment the fire shield includes a composite cloth on an interior of the sheet metal alloy layer with respect to the engine case.
Abstract:
An auxiliary power unit for an aircraft includes a turbine engine. An inlet includes an opening and a passageway between the opening and the turbine engine. An acoustic aplitter is supported within the passageway for attenuating noise within the inlet. An inlet door is movable between a closed position and a fully open position. A portion of the inlet door aligns with a part of the passageway in at least a first position and divides the passageway to deflect ice and noise in at least a second position. An air inlet and a method are also disclosed.
