Aircraft propelled by a turbojet engine with contrarotating fans
An aircraft propelled by a turbojet having contrarotating fans, the turbojet being incorporated at the rear of a fuselage of the aircraft and in line therewith and including two gas generators that feed a working turbine having two contrarotating turbine rotors for driving two fans arranged downstream from the gas generators, and distinct air intakes for feeding each gas generator, the air intakes being connected to the fuselage of the aircraft so as to take in at least a portion of the boundary layer formed around the fuselage of the aircraft.
1. An aircraft propelled by a turbojet having two contrarotating fans, the turbojet being incorporated at the rear of a fuselage of the aircraft and in line with the fuselage and comprising two gas generators that feed a single working turbine having two contrarotating turbine rotors for driving the two contrarotating fans, the two contrarotating fans being arranged downstream from the two gas generators, and distinct air intakes for feeding each gas generator, said air intakes being connected to the fuselage of the aircraft, wherein the turbojet further comprises a mixer disposed in a zone of convergence of two primary flow passages, said mixer being disposed upstream from the two contrarotating fans and along an axis of the single working turbine and being configured and arranged to mix gas streams from an output end of the two primary flow passages and coming from the two gas generators, to create a single uniform gas stream to feed the single working turbine, the two gas generators further being disposed in the two primary flow passages and forming a V-shape between them wherein each of the two primary flow passages and each of the corresponding gas generator lies at an angle in the range 80° to 120° relative to a longitudinal axis of the fuselage of the aircraft and wherein the two contrarotating fans are ducted by a nacelle fastened to a vertical empennage of the aircraft and wherein the nacelle comprises a secondary flow passage disposed radially outward of the zone of convergence of the primary flow passages and rearward of the air intakes and configured and arranged to feed air from a portion of the boundary layer not taken into the two gas generators to the two contrarotating fans in a region radially outward of the single working turbine.
2. An aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the two contrarotating fans present an outside diameter that is substantially identical to the maximum diameter of the fuselage of the aircraft.
3. An aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the working turbine and the two contrarotating fans are centered on the longitudinal axis of the fuselage of the aircraft.
4. An aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein all of the output of the two gas generators is directed to the mixer.
5. An aircraft according to claim 1 , wherein the angle is selected to, in the event of a failure of a disk of one of the two gas generators, avoid debris impacting against the other of the two gas generators or against one of the two contrarotating fans.
