Title: Luis F Llano: Innovator in Gas Turbine Engine Technology
Introduction
Luis F Llano is a prominent inventor based in Derby, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of gas turbine engine technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to engineering.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a gas turbine engine with a diversion pathway and semi-dimensional mass flow control. This invention features a core engine that includes a compressor, combustion equipment, a circumferential row of nozzle guide vanes, and a turbine. The nozzle guide vanes define a throat that receives hot working gases from the combustion equipment into the turbine. The gas turbine engine is equipped with an air system that can switch between an on-position, which opens a diversion pathway allowing a portion of the compressed air to bypass the combustion equipment, and an off-position, which closes the diversion pathway. This innovative design increases the semi-dimensional mass flow of the core engine at the exit of the compressor.
Another notable patent by Luis F Llano is a control system for a gas turbine engine. This system includes an engine core comprising combustion equipment, a turbine, a compressor, and a core shaft connecting the turbine to the compressor. The control system features at least one variable stator vane that controls the angle at which gas enters the engine core, along with a bypass passage for directing gas flow to bypass the combustion equipment.
