Jet Propulsion Plants TRIZ Cases
- Segmented Variable Area Nozzle With Hoop Locking Control
Pivoting nozzle segments and hoop locking assemblies vary throat and outlet area to control exhaust flow across changing flight speeds.
- Variable Area Fan Nozzle Actuation With Fixed-Structure Fluid Power
Fixed-structure fluid actuators move the VAFN cowl without sleeve-mounted hardware, cutting weight, drag, and maintenance burden.
- Three-Stream Airflow Mixer Assembly for Fan Diameter Packaging
A three-stream mixer assembly blends low-pressure and exhaust flows to support larger fan diameters without added thermal or packaging burden.
- Plug Nozzle Thrust Reverser Panels for Reverse Thrust and Noise
Movable thrust reverser panels pivot and translate to redirect exhaust for reverse thrust while helping supersonic engines meet noise limits.
- Thrust Reverser Hinge Assembly for Independent Structure Pivoting
A segmented hinge and latch layout lets inner and outer thrust reverser structures pivot independently for easier access and operation.
