Abstract
617,152. Jet propulsion plant. HOOKER, S. G. Dec. 7, 1944, No. 24524. [Class 110 (iii)] In an aircraft jet propulsion plant comprising a centrifugal compressor driven by a gas turbine engine which itself comprises a compressor and a turbine driving said compressor, the output of the centrifugal compressor is divided, one part is used to supercharge the engine compressor and the other is led to a rearwardly directed orifice and byepasses the engine compressor and turbine. A centrifugal compressor 1 is driven by a gas turbine engine 2. A part of the air from the compressor 1 passes to a rearwardly directed nozzle at the rear of the nacelle 8 through passages 10 and 11 and a part is admitted at 12 to the engine 2 to supercharge the intake of the engine compressor. The exhaust gases from the engine 2 are discharged through a duct 9. The part passing to the propulsion nozzle may be heated by means of a heat-exchanger 13 which transfers heat from the engine exhaust gases. If desired, this air may be heated by mixing the exhaust gases with it or by burning fuel in it. According to the Provisional Specification, the whole of the air from the centrifugal compressor may be used in a rearwardly directed orifice or orifices. These orifices may be spaced around the nacelle or be combined in one annular nozzle. The gas turbine engine may also drive more than one centrifugal compressor through lateral shafts, the compressors being disposed in the wings of the aircraft. Further, the power plant may employ any engine in place of a gas turbine engine.
