A turbomachine engine includes a fan assembly and a core engine comprising a turbine and an input shaft rotatable with the turbine is provided. A single-stage epicyclic gear assembly receives the input shaft at a first speed and drives an output shaft coupled to the fan assembly at a second speed. A sun gear rotates about a longitudinal centerline of the gear assembly and has a sun gear-mesh region along the longitudinal centerline of the gear assembly where the sun gear is configured to contact a plurality of planet gears. A ring gear-mesh region is provided along the longitudinal centerline of the gear assembly where a ring gear is configured to contact the plurality of planet gears. The sun gear-mesh region is axially offset from the ring gear-mesh region along the longitudinal centerline.

FREEWHEEL

A freewheel has a first ring which has a first blocking contour on a first axial side and a second ring which is rotatable relative to the first ring and which has a second blocking contour on a second axial side pointing toward the first axial side of the first ring. Tiltable blocking bodies can be caused to engage into the first blocking contour and into the second blocking contour. A switching element tilts the blocking bodies. A displacement unit axially displaces the second blocking contour relative to the first ring between an active setting, which is axially approximated to the first ring, and an inactive setting, which is axially remote from the first ring and in which torque-transmitting blocking of the first ring with the second ring is prevented in any setting of the blocking bodies.

Continuously variable transmissions, synchronous shifting, twin countershafts and methods for control of same

Systems and methods for controlling transmissions having CVTs are disclosed with multiple modes and gearing arrangements for range enhancements, where embodiments include synchronous shifting to allow the transmission to achieve a continuous range of transmission ratios, while minimizing “empty” cycling of the CVT during mode shifts. Embodiments provide for wide ratio range and performance and efficiency flexibility, while maximizing CVT usage through synchronous shifting.
