Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas turbine engine is disclosed which includes a bypass passage that in some embodiments are capable of being configured to act as a resonance space. The resonance space can be used to attenuate/accentuate/etc a noise produced elsewhere. The bypass passage can be configured in a number of ways to form the resonance space. For example, the space can have any variety of geometries, configurations, etc. In one non-limiting form the resonance space can attenuate a noise forward of the bypass duct. In another non-limiting form the resonance space can attenuate a noise aft of the bypass duct. Any number of variations is possible.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: operating a first aircraft engine and a second aircraft engine to produce propulsive thrust to power a multi-engine aircraft to a flight condition, the second aircraft engine being a gas turbine engine having a compressor, combustor, and turbine; actuating a valve to open a flow path from a source of compressed working fluid on board the multi-engine aircraft to permit passage of a compressed working fluid from the source of compressed…
