Abstract
A power generation system for propelling, and generating electrical power in, an aircraft, having a gas turbine engine in an engine compartment in the aircraft with an air inlet in the aircraft that is curved along its extent in leading to an air compressor in the gas turbine engine having a compressor air transfer duct extending therefrom to an internal combustion engine provided as an intermittent combustion engine at an air intake thereof. An inlet duct manifold is positioned against the duct wall of the inlet duct to cover a perforated portion thereof on the air compressor side of a curve therein with the inlet duct manifold having an inlet air transfer duct extending therefrom that is coupled to the intermittent combustion engine air intake.
