Latest Patents
One of Bowes' notable patents is the "Fuel delivery system for an aircraft engine." This invention features a fuel rail and fuel delivery devices, such as fuel injectors, that effectively deliver fuel to corresponding cylinder assemblies. The design allows for the purging of unused fuel at the end of the engine's operating cycle, which minimizes the creation of fuel vapor within the engine. Additionally, the fuel delivery system includes coupling members that secure each cylinder assembly to the fuel rail while absorbing loads generated during operation. This design enables relative motion between the cylinder assemblies and the fuel rail, reducing the risk of damaging forces.
Another significant patent by Bowes is the "Modular fuel delivery assembly for an aircraft engine." This invention also incorporates a fuel rail and fuel delivery devices, allowing for efficient fuel delivery to cylinder assemblies. The modular design enables the assembly of a custom fuel rail for any engine size, utilizing fluid conduit adaptors and conduits. This flexibility further minimizes the application of potentially damaging forces on the fuel rail during operation.
