Abstract: A propulsion system comprises a propulsive hydrogen-burning gas turbine engine, a first tank storing liquid hydrogen with an ullage and a first fuel line including a fuel pump and a vaporiser, the first fuel line providing gaseous hydrogen to the engine during operation of the system. A second tank storing gaseous hydrogen is coupled by a second fuel line to the first fuel line at a position thereon between the vaporiser and the engine, providing for engine start-up (when the vaporiser is inoperative) and power-boosting during operation of the system. A duct connects gaseous hydrogen within the second tank to the ullage in the first tank in order maintain pressure in the first tank as liquid hydrogen within it is depleted, preventing cavitation of liquid hydrogen within the fuel pump.

Abstract: An electrical assembly including electrical raft having electrical conductors embedded in a rigid material is provided. The electrical assembly has an electrically conductive screen layer. The electrically conductive screen layer provides electromagnetic protection to the electrical conductors. The electrically conductive screen layer is electrically connected to a mounting fixture, which in turn may be electrically connected to an apparatus on which the electrical assembly may be mounted. The electrical raft is used to transport electrical signals (which may be, for example power and/or control signals), for example around a gas turbine engine.

Abstract: An electric propulsion unit (102) for an aircraft is shown. A fan (202) produces a pressured airflow (P) by raising the pressure of an incident airflow (I). An electric machine (201) is arranged to drive the fan and is located within a casing (204). A primary cooling circuit (205) is located within the casing, and includes the electric machine and a first pass of a fluid-fluid heat exchanger (208), thereby placing the electric machine and the fluid-fluid heat exchanger in thermal communication. A secondary cooling circuit includes a second pass of the fluid-fluid heat exchanger and an air-fluid heat exchanger (210) located within the pressurised airflow produced by the fan, thereby placing the fluid-fluid heat exchanger and the air-fluid heat exchanger in thermal communication.
