How did XV-5A fans work?

The XV-5A fans were pneumatically driven by jet engine exhaust gasses acting on turbine blades located around the periphery of the aircraft’s lift producing fans. Although the fan technology was deemed a success the rim drive element was halted, and the fan design went on to be developed for the General Electric CF6 high by-pass engine designs.

What is a fan blade?

Fan blades are fatigue-critical structures that must be strong enough to withstand applied loads without fracturing. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. Claire Soares, in Gas Turbines (Second Edition), 2015

Where did rim driven fans come from?

One of the earliest recorded accounts of rim driven fan technology for aerospace applications took place in 1961 when the Ryan Aircraft Corporation developed the XV-5A Vertifan aircraft. The XV-5A fans were pneumatically driven by jet engine exhaust gasses acting on turbine blades located around the periphery of the aircraft’s lift producing fans.

Why do civil snubbers have a wide-chord fan?

One of the principal reasons why civil designs adopted the wide-chord fan is efficiency. Snubbers introduce a significant amount of aerodynamic loss, resulting in a very inefficient design; they also present a blockage to the airflow, requiring the frontal area to be increased.

Which Rolls Royce has a wide chord fan blade?

The wide chord fan blade is an acknowledged Rolls Royce “first.” It was an enviable one as its performance attributes, both in terms of aerodynamic performance and bird (FOD or foreign object damage) chopping ability, verified. The latter rang the bell at 24 pounds of bird (a vulture over the Indian Air approach in Calcutta).

How do fan blades work?

On the trailing (concave) side of the blade, a negative pressure is created, drawing the air into the space between the fan blades. This air is then picked up by the leading side of the trailing blade and forced outward in the radial direction.
