US Patent:

7651055, Jan 26, 2010

Filed:

May 5, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/122354

Inventors:

Jeffrey A. Turner - Chandler AZ, US
Andrew Appleby - Phoenix AZ, US
Robert L. Hoover - Phoenix AZ, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

B64D 1/00

US Classification:

244136, 2441291

Abstract:

A drainmast for discharging fluid from a body in motion, such as an aircraft in flight, may include a barrier disposed at a distal portion of the drainmast. The barrier may extend downstream from the drainmast trailing edge, and may be disposed at a negative angle of attack to a local free-stream airflow, thereby forming a downdraft over the barrier to prevent migration of discharged fluid towards an aircraft skin. In some embodiments, the drainmast may include one or more vanes, disposed internally within a discharge conduit of the drainmast, for deflecting fluid flow within the drainmast towards a direction of free-stream airflow outside the drainmast. Methods for channeling fluid away from an external surface of an aircraft in flight are also disclosed.

International Classification:

F02C 6/04

US Classification:

60785, 60795, 602261

Abstract:

A bleed air duct that preferably includes an inlet section configured to include a flush scoop and a louver. The louver is located and configured such that in the desired operating flow range of the duct, the fluid entering the flush scoop is disturbed and as a result creates a low pressure region downstream of the louver. The low pressure region substantially eliminates the generation of any pressure pulses and acoustic resonance also known as Helmholtz resonance.

International Classification:

F23R 314

US Classification:

60737

Abstract:

An air blast fuel nozzle includes a unitary structure which introduces not only axially swirling primary airflow into the primary zone of the combustor chamber, but also introduces radial inflow, coswirling, primary airflow into the premixing chamber immediately upstream of the primary zone of the combustor.

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

F02C 7/18

Abstract:

A precooler system having a symmetrical precooler core that is optimized to be integrally mounted to the turbofan engine, regardless of the turbofan engine size, is provided. The provided precooler system optimizes available space between a turbofan engine and the nacelle, and does not substantially increase weight and cost. The provided precooler system may be flexibly implemented as either a right handed precooler system or a left handed precooler system.
