Abstract
【解決手段】ダクトリップは、内側ダクトリップ部分および外側ダクトリップ部分を有し、その両方が空気ダクトの周囲の周りに実質的に連続する湾曲である。ダクトはその周囲に沿って複数の横断面を有し、複数の横断面の少なくともいくつかが異なる形状を有する。さらに、ダクトの周囲の周りの各横断面がa/b比率を有し、このa/b比率が各横断面に対して実質的に同じである。
【選択図】図2d
Description
米国政府は、米国陸軍に授与された契約第W56HZV−05−C−0724条項に準拠して本発明の一定の権利を獲得した。
(RH/RT)2.
RHはハイライトの半径であり、RTは首部の半径である。図3a〜3bに図示された実施形態では、縮小比率は約1.32〜1.7まで変動する。しかし、縮小比率は所望の設計パラメータに応じて変動することができる。例えば、縮小比率は1.15〜2の間で変動することができる。他の範囲も同様に可能である。図2dを参照すると、ハイライトの半径および首部の半径は各横断面に対して一定であるので、ダクト200の各横断面の縮小比率は同じである。
