Flexible Ducting System Including An Articulable Sealed Joint

US Patent:
7600711, Oct 13, 2009
Filed:
May 16, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/434676
Inventors:
Daniel A. Nyhus - Payson AZ, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64C 27/22, F16L 41/18
US Classification:
244 7A, 244 6, 244 1711, 137561 A
Abstract:
Aircraft including a powerplant mounted on an airframe and a rotor/wing rotatably mounted on the airframe. The rotor/wing has multiple blades extending outward from roots adjacent the airframe to tips opposite the roots and having internal conduits extending between inlets adjacent the roots and downstream outlets. The aircraft also includes multiple intermediate ducts having upstream ends including flanges and downstream ends slidably and pivotally connected to corresponding blade inlets. Moreover, the aircraft includes a manifold having an upstream end in fluid communication with the powerplant and multiple downstream ends including flanges connected to upstream ends of corresponding intermediate ducts. The aircraft further includes multiple covers connected to corresponding manifold flanges and covering corresponding intermediate duct flanges. The aircraft also includes multiple absorbers positioned between corresponding intermediate duct flanges and manifold flanges and between the intermediate duct flanges and corresponding covers to control movement of the intermediate duct flanges.

Coannular Ducted Fan

US Patent:
2011003, Feb 10, 2011
Filed:
Aug 5, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/536338
Inventors:
Mark S. Kuehn - Gilbert AZ, US
Daniel A. Nyhus - Payson AZ, US
Timothy G. Brewer - Mesa AZ, US
Assignee:
THE BOEING COMPANY - Chicago IL
International Classification:
F02K 3/04, B23P 11/00
US Classification:
602261, 2988921
Abstract:
Secondary air flow is provided for a ducted fan having an engine core driving a fan blisk. The fan blisk incorporates a set of thrust fan blades extending from an outer hub and a set of integral secondary flow blades extending intermediate an inner hub and the outer hub. A nacelle provides a first flow duct for the thrust fan blades and a secondary flow duct carries flow from the integral secondary flow blades.

Bearing Race Support Without Distortion

US Patent:
6942394, Sep 13, 2005
Filed:
Dec 20, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/326340
Inventors:
John Vernon Alexander - Mesa AZ, US
Daniel Alan Nyhus - Payson AZ, US
Richard Soloski - Mesa AZ, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
F16C043/00, F16C043/04, B25G003/00, F16B027/00, F16D003/52
US Classification:
384585, 384537, 384559, 384581, 384584, 411 84, 403343, 464 81
Abstract:
A race for a bearing, which is mountable to a mount, has an annular bearing surface with a center axis defining an axis of rotation for the bearing and mutually perpendicular radial and transverse directions relative thereto. The race also has a radial wall that is adapted for mounting the race to the mount in a manner such that a bearing transfer load is transferred between the mount and the race in the transverse direction and the race bearing surface maintains its substantially annular shape independently of a load applied to the mount causing distortion of the mount when the race is mounted to the mount and the mount is loaded.
