Abstract

See full text

An engine shroud with integral honeycomb panel corners for use in the thrust reverser region of ducted fan gas turbine engines. The integral shroud is useful in a turbine engine having a core engine surrounded by an engine casing and nacelle, with a fan at the inlet directing air flow into the bypass duct between core engine and engine nacelle. The shroud basically consists of right and left ducts each having an approximately semicircular cross-section with radial flanges extending from the duct edges. The flanges permit the halves to be fastened together to produce a tubular shroud adapted to surround a gas turbine engine and form the inner wall of a bypass duct. The disclosed shroud eliminates the prior complex corner fittings connecting the semicircular center portion of the shroud to the extending flanges and provides simple, integral corners.
