Problems solved by technology

As mentioned above, this has a negative effect on the drag caused by the propulsion system
however, these components perform vital functions and cannot simply be removed from the propulsion system

Embodiment Construction

[0018] The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background or the following detailed description.

[0019] An improved propulsion system for use with an aircraft is disclosed herein. In a non-limiting embodiment, a propulsion system includes an engine surrounded by a nacelle having an outer mold line. As used herein, the term "outer mold line" refers to the outer periphery of the aircraft or aircraft part or aircraft section to which it is referenced. In a non-limiting example, the propulsion system may be a podded propulsion system mounted to the fuselage or wings of the aircraft via one or more pylons. In other embodiments, the propulsion system may be an embedded propulsion system that is not pylon mounted to the aircraft, but directly mounted to the aircraft and fully or pa...

Abstract

A propulsion system for an aircraft is taught herein. The propulsion system includes, but is not limited to, an engine. The propulsion system further includes, but is not limited to, an outer cover associated with the engine. The engine and the outer cover are configured for coupling to the aircraft. The propulsion system further includes, but is not limited to, an external engine component. The propulsion system still further includes, but is not limited to, a coupler that operatively couples the external engine component to the engine. The external engine component is configured to be coupled to the aircraft at a location spaced apart from the engine.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 704,337, filed May 5, 2020, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to aircraft, and more particularly to propulsion systems for aircraft and methods of manufacturing aircraft equipped with propulsion systems. Background technique [0004] Aircraft performance (eg, maximum speed; specific fuel consumption at cruise speed) is constrained by drag, among other factors. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the drag acting on the aircraft as much as possible. The propulsion system of an aircraft can contribute significantly to the drag acting on the aircraft. The larger the periphery (eg, diameter) of the propulsion system, the greater the amount of drag acting on the propulsion system will be. Therefore, it is desirable that the periphery of the aircraft's propuls...
