The dynamic air turbine system 10 includes a mounting frame 20, a strut 22, a generator 24, a turbine 26, and a heating system 28. The mounting frame 20 is operatively connected to the structure of the aircraft. The mounting frame 20 is operatively connected to an actuator arranged to move the strut 22 between the stored position and the deployed position.
The strut 22 is connected to the generator 24 which is pivotally connected to the mounting frame 20 or directly connected to the aircraft structure. The strut 22 includes a strut body 40 which extends between a first end 42 and a second end 44. The strut body 40 is configured as a hollow body which extends along an axis. The strut body 40 defines an air inlet 50. The air inlet 50 is disposed between the first end 42 and the second end 44 of the strut 22. The air inlet 50 is disposed closer to the first end 42 than the second end 44 of the strut 22.
The air inlet 50 extends from an outer surface of the strut body 40 through an inner surface of the strut body 40. The air inlet 50 includes a single inlet window or multiple windows of The inlet, for illustrative purposes, an air inlet with multiple windows is shown. The air inlet 50 includes a first inlet window 52, a second inlet window 54 which is disposed adjacent to the first inlet window 52, and a third inlet window 56 which is arranged adjacent to the second entry window 54. Each entry window is configured in the form of an elongated window whose length is greater than its width. In at least one embodiment, a frame 58 is arranged around the air inlet 50 and surrounds the first inlet window 52, the second inlet window 54 and the third inlet window 56. The frame 58 extends above the exterior surface of the strut body 40.
The first entry window 52 is separated from the second entry window 54 by a first partition 60. Each of the first entry window 52 and the second entry window 54 have a width which is greater than a width of the first partition 60.
The second entry window 54 is separated from the third entry window 56 by a second partition 62. Each of the second entry window 54 and the third entry window 56 have a width which is greater than a width of the second partition 62.
The generator 24 is operationally connected to the first end 42 of the strut 22. The generator 24 is pivotally connected to the mounting frame 20 or to the structure of the aircraft through the generator 24. The generator 24 defines an input of generator cooling air and a generator cooling air outlet 70. The dynamic air or cooling air which is supplied through the air inlet 50 defined by the strut body 40 of the strut 22 flows through the hollow body of the body 40 towards the cooling air inlet generator strut, through the generator 24, and out of the cooling air outlet of the generator 70. As such, the air inlet 50 is configured as a cooling air inlet which supplies cooling air to electronic components of the generator 24.
The generator 24 is configured to include a permanent magnet generator.
The turbine 26 is disposed at the second end 44 of the strut 22. The turbine 26 includes a gearbox 80, a turbine hub 82 and blades 84. The turbine hub 82 is operatively connected to the gearbox 80. The blades 84 extend from the turbine hub 82. The blades 84 and the turbine hub 82 are arranged to rotate in response to the encounter of dynamic air and the blades 84 while the turbine system dynamic air 10 is in the deployed position. The turbine 26 is connected by drive or operationally connected to the generator 24 by a drive shaft which extends between the generator 24 and the gearbox 80. The gearbox 80 is configured to communicate the rotary movement of the turbine hub 82 and vanes 84 in the form of the rotary movement of the drive shaft for actuating the generator 24.
Rotation of the turbine 26 rotates the drive shaft which rotates the generator 24 and supplies power to a generator control unit 72 and to the heating system 28. The generator 24 is configured to start providing electrical energy to the heating system 28 as soon as the turbine 26 starts to rotate.
