AI Technical Summary
Traditional aircraft piston engines have mechanically fixed air intake duct shapes and guide vane angles, which cannot adapt to complex and ever-changing flight conditions, resulting in low efficiency and slow response.
An adaptive mixing intake system is adopted, which utilizes a nickel-titanium-based shape memory alloy guide ring and an adjustable intake mechanism. The intake angle and shape are adjusted by the phase change of the shape memory alloy spring. Combined with a vortex generator and a compressor unit, gas mixing and compression are achieved. The toroidal iron core transformer and linkage mechanism are combined to improve response speed and stability.
Improving intake efficiency under different flight conditions enhances the system's adaptability and response speed, ensures power output stability and combustion efficiency, improves fuel economy, and enhances structural stability and environmental adaptability.
