Latest Patents
Pierre A. Bannerot holds a patent for a variable geometry exhaust nozzle for a turbojet engine. This invention features a design that allows for the adjustment of the cross-sectional area of the nozzle in a converging-diverging configuration. The adjustment is controlled by a single control system, which varies the positions of both the inner upstream and downstream flaps, as well as the outer flaps. Additionally, a second control system operates simultaneously to change the nozzle configuration to a converging-converging setup. The inner upstream flaps are pivotally connected to the downstream end of the turbojet exhaust duct and are controlled by an axially movable control ring. The positions of the inner downstream flaps are influenced by the movement of the upstream flap and a connection with a cowling support. The outer flaps are controlled by a cam that is interposed between the control ring and the outer flaps.
