Abstract

The article discusses one of the main problems faced by engineering and technical personnel during the operation of aircraft with gas turbine engines—vortex suction of foreign objects into the engine air path. The analysis of works on the topic under study was carried out and the main results were identified. The article presents the basics of the vortex field of the Earth’s rotation relative to the polar axis, its altitudinal and latitudinal vortex characteristics, and their consequences. The working process of physical manifestation of the investigated vortex field on the character of the atmospheric environment in the locations of airfield nodes of the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth and the direction of the impact of atmospheric vortex activity on the features of operation of gas turbine power plants of aircraft at the airfield is proved. The factor of the Coriolis force, which influences the formation of vortices under the air intakes of aircraft engines, but was not taken into account in the analyzed works, is highlighted. The dependence of the influence of this factor on the geographic location of the aerodrome for the operation of the aircraft on the Earth’s surface has been investigated. A way of practical application of the revealed feature when adjusting the values of hazardous zones of aircraft engines for different geographic latitudes is proposed.
