Summary of the patent applications from Raytheon Technologies Corporation on November 30th, 2023

Raytheon Technologies Corporation has recently filed several patents related to aircraft propulsion systems and components. These patents cover various aspects such as assembly design, gear systems, gas turbine engines, seal systems, airfoil design, coated fiber structures, and electric machines.

In terms of assembly design, one patent application describes an assembly for an aircraft propulsion system that includes a bladed rotor and a thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle. The nozzle is designed to direct gas propelled by the rotor, with different directions for different modes of operation.

Another patent application focuses on a gear system for an aircraft propulsion system. This system includes a sun gear, a ring gear, intermediate gears, a carrier, and brakes. The brakes are used to control the rotation of the ring gear and the carrier.

A gas turbine engine patent application describes a specific architecture with a propulsor section, compressor section, turbine section, and a geared architecture. The power density ratio of the engine is calculated by dividing the thrust provided by the engine by the volume of the turbine section.

Another patent application discusses a propulsion system with two propulsor rotors and a gas turbine engine core. The core rotates at different speeds to drive the respective rotors for generating thrust and lift.

A seal system patent application describes a dry face seal system that includes a seal and a seat. The seat has a rim and an outer diameter surface encircled by the seal.

An airfoil design patent application focuses on using a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) laminate material for improved performance and efficiency. The design optimizes the distribution of fiber plies within the airfoil section.

A coated fiber structure patent application describes a fiber with a coating system applied around it, including interface, intermediate, and outer layers. The coating layers may contain a metallic element.

In summary, Raytheon Technologies Corporation has filed recent patents related to various aspects of aircraft propulsion systems and components, including assembly design, gear systems, gas turbine engines, seal systems, airfoil design, coated fiber structures, and electric machines.

Notable applications:

  • Assembly for an aircraft propulsion system with a bladed rotor and thrust vectoring exhaust nozzle.
