Definitions
- the invention relates to a gas turbine engine, intended for any kind of flying vehicle power unit capable to create propulsion for the flight of flying vehicle, particularly aircraft.
- the flight of the current flying vehicle is provided by means of devices for creation of lift and jet thrust of the power unit.
- Gas turbine engines require a number of support systems in order to render the engine operational. All these components of a power unit and interfaces between them and the engine become increasingly complex as the number of associated systems increases in the process of technical development.
- the power unit of the aircraft representing the turbojet engine having inlet gas generator and outlet assembly is known (CI. EP 0 519 823 B1, Int. CI. F 02 C 7/20, Date of publication: Dec. 21, 1994).
- Its gas generator consists of compressor, combustion chamber and turbine.
- Other power unit represents at least one engine comprising inlet, gas generator, body of a duct and outlet, is known (cf. EP 0 244 515 A3, Int. CI. F 02 K 3/04, Date of publication: Nov. 11, 1987).
- Said gas turbine engine has fan and booster, combustion chamber, nozzles, gearboxes, shaft and relates to a great number of engines of high bypass ratio. It is adopted as a prototype of the present invention.
- This engine thrust force has unidirectional propulsion whereas an aircraft requires a system of forces which are simultaneously operated in three-dimensional space.
- This invention has as its object to produce a gas turbine power unit of the preceeding ones which makes possible to greatly improve the operational characteristics of the engines of the current art, namely: - creation of additional forces of a thrust along with a jet thrust and adjusting of their values irrespective of operational mode of engines,
- active driver-propulsor principle is put in the basis of the invention.
- active driver-propulsor it is meant a device by means of which the total energy of the working medium is conversed into propulsion in the process of direct interaction of high energetic fluid working medium, posessing kinetic energy (speed and mass ), potential energy ( pressure and temperature ) and internal energy ( molecular interaction forces ), with thermogasdynamic airfoils disposed in ducts of the power unit.
- the structure of the energy carrier-working medium can be various both on physical, and on chemical properties. It can be gases: an air, argon, oxygen and others, it can also be two-phase and multiphase mixtures of gases with vapours of fluids.
- the application of hydrocarbon fuel oxidation is widespread in the current engines. If as a working medium air is used only at standard atmospheric parameters, it is accepted to name aerodynamic those forces, which are obtained as a result of interaction between thermogasdynamic airfoils and the working medium. Thus it is necessary to take into account, that in the field of aviation the aerodynamic processes proceed in open unlimited space and a wing only has energy ( kinetic ) and air is in balanced energy condition. When a wing produces air disturbance potential energy of air is transfered in the lift and the jet thrust.
- the upwind surface (the lower one) of a wing moving with the high speed at an angle of attack , depresses air and pushes its mass downwards.
- the second half of a wing energy is dispersed in a space as kinetic energy of the thrown off air.
- airfoil shaped bodies such as aircraft wings, rudders, sails and gas turbine rotor blades and stator vanes have streamlined shape which at angle of attack induce forces.
- Thermogasdynamic airfoils according to the invention should be regarded as a surface, creating lift, control and propulsion forces at its flowing about by compressed fluid working medium at the expense of conversion of said working medium energy into said forces, which are transmitted via the duct and the engine body to the aircraft.
- the power unit of an flying vehicle represents at least one engine comprising nacelle, inlet, gas generator, supercharger, duct body and outlet, characterized in that in the cross- sections of the power unit duct at least one thermogasdynamic airfoil is disposed with its uninterrupted flowing about by the working medium at all modes of the power unit operation.
- thermogasdynamic airfoil is made in the form of at least two segments with partial overlap by one segment of another, forming the slotted nozzles which are curvilinear ones and converging in own cross-sections and these nozzles are intended for acceleration of a fluid working medium flowing about the upwind (lower) surface to the downwind (upper) surface of said airfoils.
- At least one local zone of the streamline deformation is created in which interaction of rigid surfaces of the airfoil with the fluid working medium implements in the form of: accelerations and/or decelerations, heating and/or cooling, compression and/or expansion of a molecular structure of the working medium.
- Engines of the present power unit are formed as one or multicontoured devices. At least one said segment of aforesaid airfoil is arranged with the capability of the adjustment of its angle of attack in relation to the direction of the flow of the working medium by means of its shaft extended out of the duct.
- thermogasdynamic airfoils are integrated in the airfoil cascade.
- said airfoils is made bilaterally attached inside the duct body or, for example, in the rotatable enforced ring on the bearing support.
- Said ring and bearing support are integral with a structure in which they are mounted. Self-lubricated bearings are used eliminating the need for an external lubrication system.
- Said airfoil cascades are mounted in the inlet and/or outlet in the aforesaid enforced rotatable rings with their capability to rotate in relation to the fore-aft axis of the engine.
- At least one airfoil cascade is made inclined and rigidly fixed after a fan in the duct of the engine.
- the nacelle of the power unit has an enforced boom which is intended for the taking loads induced by said airfoils and transmitted via the bearings, the enforced rings and flange joints or any other similar device which may be used to secure the ends of the airfoils to the body of the duct, the inlet and the outlet and hence help transmit said loads.
- Said loads from said enforced boom are directly transmitted via an engine-support beam and/or engine pylon mounting to an airframe of the flying vehicle.
- the load transfer mechanism between said airfoils and the aircraft body is made so to be capable of withstanding loads experienced during the aircraft maneuvers, e.g. vehicle roll, pitch and yaw.
- Said airfoiles may be formed by some segments, a number of which depends on size and configuration of the duct and conditional limits of said local zones of deformation of streamlines of the fluid working medium.
- the multisegmented structure of said airfoils is capable to adjust angles of attack of some segments and hence form curvilinear narrowed downwards nozzles by use of which it is possible to create the local boost of the flow of the fluid working medium and flowing about the downwind of airfoils with simultaneous local deceleration of the flow at the upwind surface. As a result, one can insrease the active forces without changing the speed of the flow in the duct.
- Kf ( ⁇ ) is a factor describing obtaining of active propulsion on rigid surface of thermogasdynamic airfoils depending on an angle of attack of said airfoils relating to the direction of the flow of the fluid working medium.
- the analog of this factor can be a lift factor of a wing Cy in a function from an angle of attack of a wing to the flight direction of an aircraft, and size S - area of a rigid streamlined surface of a wing in the plan.
- thermogasdynamic airfoils are built in, for example: in the air inlet, after the fan in the duct and in the exhaust nozzle, which locally deform streamlines of the fluid working medium.
- the speeds of the fluid working medium (kinetic energy) on take-off operational mode of the power unit are known: in the inlet it is about of 190 m/sec, in the bypass contour it equals about 150 m/ sec, in the exhaust nozzle it equals 470 m/ sec.
- A-319 has two engines, so the lift force of two burning engines, when the airplane is on the runway and ready for take-off run, is increasing up to
- A-319 static take-off mass is about 140.000 kg, one can subtract 18260 kg and get A-319 mass 121740 kg.
- this aircraft is provided with additional propulsion which can be considered as a useful force substantially improving transport characteristics of aircrafts. Particularly, as for A-319 its take-off run will be shorter.
- the local deformations of streamlines of the fluid working medium with large value of energy in the duct of the engine can be created by rigid streamlined surfaces of said airfoils which arranged so that the forces created on them will be directed not only vertically upwards, but also to a lateral side (to the right or to the left), forwards - backwards.

- Airfoils 9 are arranged so that adjustment of their angles of attack in relation to the direction of the flow allows to adjust the active propulsion on its value and direction.
- Airfoils 9 can be disposed in two mutually perpendicular vertical and horizontal planes (in the drawings is not shown) for the obtaining not only lift, but also thrust and control active propulsion. Variable angle of attack of these airfoils 9 is provided maneurveing and deceleration of an aircraft.

- Thermogasdynamic airfoils 9 are disposed in the form of airfoil cascades 6,7 and 8 in three sections in the lengthwise direction of the duct: in the inlet 1 , after the fan 18 and in the outlet 4.
- the airfoil cascade 8 in the inlet comprises three thermogasdynamic airfoils 9, which are mounted in the enforced ring 19.
- the enforced ring 19 is mounted on support bearings 20 as integral part with the inlet and is capable to rotate in relation to the fore-aft axis of the engine.
- a turn of one whole structure consisting of the enforced ring 10, airfoil cascade 8 and thermogasdynamic airfoils 9 is changed their attitude in relation to horizon, hence direction of forces in relation to horizon is also changed. As a result, an aircraft flight is changed to the required direction.

- Thermogasdynamic airfoils 9 can comprise, for example, seven streamlined segment. A number of such segments can be changed depending on a volume of a duct and conditional limits of local zones of deformation of streamlines of a flow of a working medium.
