Abstract

This specification covers the characteristics of the X376 Pitch Fan intended for use in a piloted flight research airplane. The General Electric X376 Pitch Fan is a high liftweight ratio gas-driven lift fan for supplying augmented control and trim force in V/STOL systems. The X376 Pitch Fan comprises a single stage, tip-turbine driven lift fan supplied with turbojet exhaust gas bleed through two separate nozzle scrolls. The double scroll arrangement provides single-engine operating capability in a two-engine, cross- ducted lift propulsion system.
