Abstract

881,785. Vertical take off aircraft. BMW TRIEBWERKBAU G.m.b.H. July 30, 1959 [Aug. 1, 1958], No. 26185/59. Class 4. [Also in Groups XII and XXVI] Aircraft power plant for providing vertical or short forward take off of the aircraft is characterised in that one or more combustion chambers with downwardly pointing outlet nozzles is/are located inside the wing profile of the aircraft, fresh air for combustion being supplied to said chambers directly or indirectly by a forward propulsion unit and fuel being introduced through a rotary atomiser provided in each of the chambers. The power plant 1, in the embodiment a gas turbine, is connected through disconnectable couplings (not shown) to a propeller 3 and an air compressor 5, the outlet of the latter being connected by a duct to the inlet 13 of one or more combustion chambers 8 located in each wing. The inlet of compressor 5 may be connected by a duct 10 with a boundary layer suction slot 11 in the upper surface of each wing. The power plant 1 may be a by-pass engine and the air for combustion chambers 8 would then be supplied from the by-pass duct, compressor 5 being dispensed with. Each combustion chamber is formed by a chamber 20 surrounded by an annular duct supplied with air from intake 13 to cool the chamber 20, to which combustion air is admitted from the annular duct through apertures 18. The intake 13 houses fixed blades 16 and a rotary atomiser 15 carrying axial-flow turbine blades 17. Fuel is passed to atomiser 15 through a conduit 19 and combustion gases are directed by vanes 21 to a nozzle 14 directed downwards from the wing undersurface. The rotary atomiser may be constructed as a radial flow turbine.
