Latest Patents

Gurunathan is credited with 1 patent: “Aircraft comprising at least one deflector configured to divert a gas exhaust cone exiting a propulsion assembly away from a trailing edge of a wing.”

The invention describes an aircraft with a wing and a propulsion unit whose nozzle has a trailing edge. A pylon connects the propulsion assembly to the wing and includes a secondary rear fairing positioned behind the nozzle’s trailing edge. The fairing’s lower face forms an angle of 2 to 20 degrees with the nozzle’s inner face, allowing it to act as a deflector that interferes with the exhaust cone. The design is intended to direct exhaust gases away from the wing’s trailing edge.

Career Highlights

Gurunathan’s listed professional affiliations include Airbus Operations SAS and Airbus Operations GmbH. His patent reflects work on aircraft propulsion integration and the management of exhaust flow near wing structures.

Collaborations
