HIDDEN LINK SYSTEM BLOCKER DOOR
A system for deploying a blocker door of a nacelle includes a master link configured to be coupled to a fixed structure of the nacelle and a master crank pivotally attached to the master link. The system further includes a first door crank and a first door link pivotally coupled to the first door crank. The system further includes a first blocker door coupled to the first door link and a first driveshaft coupled to the master crank and to the first door crank and configured to transfer motion from the master crank to the first door crank such that aft translation of a translating sleeve of the nacelle drives the master crank via the master link, which drives the first door link via the first driveshaft and the first door crank to move the first blocker door into a bypass air duct defined by the nacelle.
Cooling configuration for a cold gas turbine generator assembly
A turbine generator assembly includes a turbine drivably connected to an electrical generator. The turbine includes a propellant input and a spent propellant exhaust. The spent propellant exhaust is connected to an exhaust flow path. An electrical component is connected to an output of the electrical generator such that the electrical component is powered by the electrical generator. A first heat exchanger including a cooling fluid inlet is connected to the exhaust flow path and a cooled feature is configured to be cooled by fluid received through the cooling fluid inlet. The cooled feature is at least a portion of the electrical component.
Device for driving a generator of an aircraft turbomachine and method for regulating the speed of such a generator
A device for driving an integrated generator from an accessories relay box of a turbomachine. The device includes first and second electric motors arranged to transfer electric power from one to the other, one or more controllers configured for controlling said electric motors, and an epicyclic reduction gear train. The gear train includes a first element intended to be coupled to the accessories relay box, a second element intended to be coupled to the generator, and a third element driven to rotate by said first electric motor. The control means are configured to modify the speed of rotation of the third element in such a way that the second element is driven to rotate at a constant speed.
Hidden link system blocker door
A system for deploying a blocker door of a nacelle includes a master link configured to be coupled to a fixed structure of the nacelle and a master crank pivotally attached to the master link. The system further includes a first door crank and a first door link pivotally coupled to the first door crank. The system further includes a first blocker door coupled to the first door link and a first driveshaft coupled to the master crank and to the first door crank and configured to transfer motion from the master crank to the first door crank such that aft translation of a translating sleeve of the nacelle drives the master crank via the master link, which drives the first door link via the first driveshaft and the first door crank to move the first blocker door into a bypass air duct defined by the nacelle.
Oil loss protection for a fan drive gear system
A fan drive gear system includes at least one intermediate gear that includes an axial gear passage for receiving and conveying a fluid suitable for cooling and/or lubricating. At least a first axial end of the intermediate gear includes a first fluid storage trap for capturing fluid entering and/or exiting the gear passage and storing the fluid therein during powered operation of the fan drive gear system. The fluid is capable of being passively supplied to the intermediate gear passage during an interrupted power event.
GAS TURBINE ENGINE TIP CLEARANCE CONTROL SYSTEM
A system for controlling gas turbine engine rotor blades tip clearance is described. A rotor is mounted to an engine shaft, supported by a thrust bearing, for rotation within a gas path shroud circumscribing blades of the rotor, the gas path shroud having a non-cylindrical shape in the vicinity of the rotor blades. A rotary actuator is associated with the thrust bearing and configured for axial translation of the thrust bearing, to thereby axially translate the engine shaft and the rotor blades relative to the gas path shroud. This translation is configured to vary the blade tip clearance of the rotor.
TURBOFAN ENGINE COMPRISING A SERIES OF ROTARY BLADES FOR BLOCKING THE STREAM OF THE BYPASS AIR
A turbofan engine with a nacelle including a runner translationally mobile between advanced and back-off positions to open a window between a stream and an outside, a plurality of blades, each rotatable on the runner between retracted and deployed positions, and a maneuvering system displacing each blade and comprising, for each blade, a shaft rotatable on the runner and to which the blade is fixed, and a toothed segment on the shaft, and a toothed arc rotatable on the runner about a longitudinal axis, the tooth arc teeth meshing with the toothed segment teeth, a slip translationally mobile on the runner in a plane at right angles to the longitudinal axis between first and second positions, a connecting rod mounted articulated between the slip and the toothed arc, a rib integral to the fixed structure, and a guiding U integral to the slip and which straddles the rib.
Turbofan comprising a series of rotatable blades for blocking off the bypass flow duct
A turbofan with a fan casing and a nacelle which comprises a fixed structure, a movable assembly with a movable cowl and a slide, which is translationally movable between an advanced position and a retreated position in which the movable cowl is moved away from the fan casing in order to define a window open between a duct and the outside of the nacelle, a plurality of blades, each being mounted rotatably on the slide, where each blade is movable between a retracted position in which the blade is outside of the duct and a deployed position in which the blade is across the duct, a set of actuators for moving the slide and an operating system configured to move each blade from the retracted position to the deployed position, and vice versa.
Lubrication system for gas turbine engines
A method of controlling lubrication flow to a first engine component, a second engine component and a lubrication tank of a gas turbine engine according to an example of the present disclosure includes, among other things, determining more than one condition experienced by the gas turbine engine, comparing with a processor on a controller the more than one condition against an engine performance model stored in memory on the controller, wherein the engine performance model includes stored relationship values between the more than one condition and a position of a scheduling valve, the scheduling valve disposed between the lubricant tank and the first engine component and between the lubricant tank and the second engine component, pumping a lubricant from the lubricant tank through a conduit to the scheduling valve using a pump, and controlling the position of the scheduling valve to vary a flow of the lubricant to two or more of the first engine component, the second engine component and the lubrication tank based upon the comparing of the more than one condition experienced by the gas turbine engine.
