Abstract
1,127,931. Jet lift aircraft- GARRETT CORP. 24 Jan., 1968, No. 3138/66. Heading B7G. [Also in Division F1] The invention relates to an aircraft having at least one nozzle for producing vertical lift and incorporating a power unit which comprises a duct containing a compressor driven by a turbine, the turbine being driven by gases from a combustion system, the turbine exhaust gases and the air delivered by the compressor being passed through a common duct to the nozzle. The power unit shown in Fig. 2 comprises a duct 8 in which is disposed combustion equipment 20 and a turbine 24 which is driven by combustion gases from the equipment 20, the turbine driving a compressor 17 by means of a shaft 25 and gearing 26, the turbine exhaust gases and the air delivered by the compressor passing into a common duct 7 from which the gases pass to ducting 1 and 4 and discharge through vertical lift nozzles 2 and 3 disposed adjacent the forward and rearward ends of the aircraft fuselage and 5 disposed adjacent the wing tips, Fig. 1. Air under pressure is supplied to the combustion equipment 20 through duct 12 from a source such as the compressor of a main gas turbine engine, and fuel is supplied thereto through line 22. Atmospheric air enters the compressor through inlet 13 which is closable by means of a pivoted flap 15. Bleed air in the duct 12 may be passed direct to the common duet 7 in the event of failure of the power unit by closing the valve 21 and opening the valve 35 so that the air passes through the by-pass duct 34. The flap valves 36 in the duct 7 close automatically in this phase of operation. The gearing 26 may be omitted, the turbine driving the compressor directly.
