    Abstract: An aircraft system includes a component configured to operate with a minimum power demand. The aircraft system also includes an auxiliary power unit including an engine. The auxiliary power unit is configured to power the component and to operate the engine in a plurality of operating modes including a power mode and a standby mode. The auxiliary power unit generates a first power output at least equal to the minimum power demand during the power mode. The auxiliary power unit generates a second power output less than the minimum power demand during the standby mode.

    Abstract: A fuel system for an auxiliary power unit includes a mechanical fuel pump, an electric fuel pump, and a controller. The mechanical fuel pump provides fuel flow to the auxiliary power unit and has an output dependent upon an operational speed of the auxiliary power unit. The electric fuel pump is located in flow series with the mechanical fuel pump. The controller causes the electric fuel pump to circulate and thereby warm fuel prior to start up of the auxiliary power unit.

    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.

    Abstract: The presently disclosed embodiments utilize an ice separator vessel to trap ice particles in a non-homogeneous ice/fuel mixture flowing in a fuel system. A source of heat, such as heated fuel provided to the ice separator vessel, is used to melt at least a portion of the ice particles so that they do not enter the fuel system downstream of the ice separator vessel.

    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a preloaded hybrid duplex bearing assembly is disclosed. A hybrid duplex ball bearing assembly includes a forward bearing, an aft bearing, and a preload spring, the preload spring disposed adjacent the aft bearing and configured to apply an axial force to push the aft bearing toward the forward bearing, where the forward bearing and aft bearing share an inner race. The forward bearing and the aft bearing are angular contact bearings each including a contact angle, and the contact angles of the forward bearing and the aft bearing converge at a point within the bearing assembly. In one embodiment, the aft bearing is not radially loaded and carries only the axial force of the preload spring. In at least one embodiment, the forward bearing forms a radial clearance fit with the aft bearing such that the aft bearing carries no radial load.
