Engine inlet flow homogenizing method for engine of airplane e.g. military aircraft, involves longitudinally dividing inlet flow of engine over intake cross-section into several branch flows

摘要

The method involves longitudinally dividing an inlet flow of an airplane engine over an intake cross-section (5) into several branch flows. The branch flows can be rearranged in separate flow channels (7), so that a peripheral section of each branch flow adjoins in the region of input cross-section at an upper surface and downstream to an inlet (3) at the other branch flow. The rearranged branch flowing in the inlet can be combined to a homogenized inlet flow that exhibits a compact square/round cross-section. An independent claim is also included for a device to homogenize the inlet flow of an airplane engine.
