Aircraft turbine engine and use of such a turbine engine

摘要

An aircraft wing turbine engine is designed to increase the ground clearance for larger modernized engines mounted under the wings of an airfoil. To this end, the aircraft wing turbine engine includes a hot flow generator with a turbine engine rotating about a first central axis, a cold flow blower rotating about a second central axis, and a pod surrounding the hot flow generator and cold flow blower. The first and second central axes are offset and non-collinear with each other such that the cold flow blower can be moved farther away from the ground to increase the ground clearance of the turbine engine.

主权项

1. An aircraft wing turbine engine system configured to be mounted on an aircraft airfoil, comprising:
a hot flow generator including a first driving shaft and a turbine engine, said hot flow generator defining an at least substantially horizontal first central axis about which said first driving shaft and said turbine engine rotate, and said hot flow generator fastened to the airfoil of the aircraft via at least one fastener; a cold flow blower including a second driving shaft and blades, said cold flow blower defining an at least substantially horizontal second central axis about which said second driving shaft rotates, said cold flow blower mounted relative to said hot flow generator such that said second central axis is vertically offset and non-collinear with said first central axis and such that said first and second central axes are generally parallel to one another and the second central axis is located at a different distance relative to the airfoil than the first central axis; said first driving shaft being coupled at its forward end with said second driving shaft such that said cold flow blower is rotated by said turbine engine of said hot flow generator; and a pod surrounding both of said hot flow generator and said cold flow blower, said pod defining an annular cold flow channel in the form of an elongated generally annular space around each of said cold flow blower and said hot flow generator.
