Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for recovering air in an aircraft includes bleeding bypass air from an engine bypass, bleeding core air from an engine core, and placing the bypass air and the core air in a heat exchange relationship to produce heated bypass air and cooled core air. The method further includes directing the heated bypass air to one or more of: the engine bypass, a cowl de-icing system, and a wing anti-ice system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for recovering air in an aircraft, the method comprising: bleeding a portion of bypass air from an engine bypass; bleeding a portion of core air from an engine core; placing the bled bypass air and the bled core air in a heat exchange relationship external to an engine nacelle to produce heated bypass bleed air and cooled core bleed air; and directing the heated bypass bleed air separately from the cooled core bleed air to one or more of…
