UCAR [for] Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft ... will be an all-weather, highly autonomous and survivable unmanned rotorcraft fully integrated into the Army's objective force combat maneuver force structure. The system, which enables ground maneuver force superiority, will be capable of collaborating with multiple UCARs and other manned and unmanned systems. Unlike other unmanned aerial vehicles, however, the UCAR will not have a dedicated ground station. Instead, the system will integrate into existing command and control platforms, such as the Future Combat Systems command and control vehicle and combat aviation. Capable of autonomous mission planning while in flight, the UCAR will request guidance from a human operator only for tasking and final weapons authorization. 3, record 1, English, - unmanned%20combat%20armed%20rotocraft

Dans le cadre du programme Ucar, Boeing a breveté un nouveau concept de drône hélicoptère de combat [...], furtif et modulaire [...] Les ingénieurs de Boeing proposent d’intégrer la turbine dans le plan vertical. [...] Positionner la turbine dans l'axe même du rotor, où se trouve le centre de masse du véhicule, revient, en effet, à limiter sa capacité d’emport tant en masse qu'en volume. Les inventeurs proposent ici de redistribuer la charge utile dans trois bras carénés et détachables, disposés en étoile autour d’une structure porteuse centrale. Pour contrôler le couple principal, contrôler l'attitude et manœuvrer l'engin, un sous-système hybride a été privilégié. Il se compose d’une soufflante contra-rotative coaxiale au rotor principal, carénée dans la structure centrale, et de petits réacteurs à jets d’air comprimé, régulés par des «valves» et installés aux bouts de chaque bras. L'air comprimé au niveau de la turbine, est conduit à destination par simple tuyauterie. Quant à la soufflante anti-couple, elle participe au circuit de refroidissement en ventilant la structure centrale qu'échauffe la turbine. 1, record 1, French, - drone%20h%C3%A9licopt%C3%A8re%20de%20combat

Le stockage adiabatique par air comprimé est un développement à plus haute efficacité énergétique. Lorsque l'air est temporairement stocké à faible température dans les cavités souterraines, la chaleur de compression émise est également stockée; puis cette chaleur est récupérée, afin de chauffer l'air comprimé réacheminé dans le récupérateur de chaleur, avant sa détente dans la turbine à haute température. L'intégration dans des accumulateurs à air comprimé de grande taille permet de réaliser une telle installation sans alimentation externe et avec un rendement de 70 %. 2, record 5, French, - stockage%20adiabatique%20par%20air%20comprim%C3%A9

This method is more economical and admits of better control of the abrasive than is possible using air jets.

Les turbines à coussin d’air. C'est la deuxième génération de turbines. Afin de diminuer le bruit, les roulements à billes sont supprimés. L'air comprimé est réparti de telle façon qu'il soit utilisé d’une part pour faire tourner la turbine mais aussi qu'il s’interpose entre celle-ci et les parois de façon à lui éviter les frottements en réalisant un coussinet d’air(ou un palier d’air). 1, record 12, French, - turbine%20%C3%A0%20coussin%20d%26rsquo%3Bair
