Aircraft-mounted gas turbine engines may need to employ a variety of inlet ducts to perform
various missions. An inertial particle separator (IPS) is a type of inlet duct that can remove …

An inertial particle separator is one method of reducing the amount of sand and dust
ingested by gas turbine engines. This is important because sand and dust often limit the …

The aircraft engine hot section is most vulnerable and failure prone to environmental particle
ingestion, which, particularly for helicopters, can cause detrimental effects ranging from …

Helicopter and turboprop engines are susceptible to the ingestion of debris and other
foreign objects, especially during take-off, landing, and hover. To avoid deleterious effects …

An Inertial Particle Separator (IPS) is a device installed in the inlet of a gas turbine to
mitigate effects of sand ingestion on the engine. While these devices have ideal pressure …

A numerical simulation method is used to optimize the removal of sand from a helicopter
engine particle separator. First, the classic configuration of a particle separator based on the …

HELICOPTERS are often required to operate in harsh particle-laden environments such as
beaches and deserts, which leave intake systems exposed to sand, ice, and so on. The …

Abstract Inlet Particle Separators (IPS) are filters installed in helicopter and turboprop
engines to prevent the ingestion of dust, sand and other debris when operating in extreme …

Gas turbine engines can be subject to damage and wear from particulate ingestion. An
inertial particle separator (IPS) is an inlet-mounted device that can remove sand, dust, and …

Inertial Particle Separators (IPS) are devices installed on an aircraft to minimize the dust and
debris ingested by the engine. These particles can be highly damaging to the internal …
