Introduction

Gilles Gregoire is an inventor associated with Flying Whales and based in Suresnes, France. His patent work addresses thermal management for an external power-generating nacelle designed for an electrically powered airship.

Latest Patents

Gregoire is credited with 1 patent: “System for the thermal management of an external electric-power-generating nacelle equipping an electrically powered airship, nacelle and airship equipped with said system.”

The invention describes a system for managing heat in a nacelle containing a turbogenerator inside a fire-containment vessel. The system injects external air into the vessel and discharges the ventilation air around the turbine’s flue-gas exhaust duct. The exhaust flow creates a Venturi effect that helps draw out the ventilation air, supporting the nacelle’s thermal management.

Career Highlights

The available information connects Gregoire’s invention to Flying Whales and the company’s work on electrically powered airships. His patent focuses on integrating ventilation and exhaust flows within an external power-generating nacelle.

Collaborations

Gregoire’s listed coworkers include Pierrot Guillou and Olivier Desgeorges. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or their contributions to the invention.

Conclusion

Gilles Gregoire’s patent presents a thermal-management approach that uses turbine exhaust to assist ventilation in an airship’s power-generating nacelle.
