A system for controlling the pitch of fan blades of a turbine engine propeller, the system including an actuator secured to a casing of the turbine engine, having a movable portion that is movable in translation relative to the casing, the movable portion being mechanically coupled to a load transfer bearing having an outer ring that is coupled to fan blade pivots so that a movement in translation of the movable portion of the actuator leads to a change in the pitch angle of the fan blades, and at least one locking peg secured to the casing of the turbine engine and suitable, in the event of the actuator malfunctioning, for mechanically locking the load transfer bearing in a position wherein the fan blades are feathered.

The turbojet includes, linking two of its parts as a main nacelle portion and a rear nacelle portion, a device which moves them relative to one another, for example in order to open a reverse gas thrust slot. The device includes a sleeve and two rods which are coaxial connected together by two screw links and two locking devices which may be engaged independently, such that the deployment of one of the rods results in the opening of the slot and the movement of the other rod, controlled by the same device, only occurs under specific turbojet maintenance circumstances.

A thrust reverser includes a frame having a longitudinal axis, a first reverser door pivotally mounted to the frame, a second reverser door pivotally mounted to the frame, a crank pivotally mounted to the frame, a first link connecting the crank to the first reverser door, and a second link connecting the crank to the second reverser door. In various embodiments, both the first reverser door and the second reverser door are driven by a single actuator.

Systems and methods for protecting a turbomachine may include a trip throttle valve having a throttle valve assembly and a trip valve assembly. The trip valve assembly may include a plurality of trip valves fluidly coupled to a hydraulic cylinder of the throttle valve assembly via a first flow path and a second flow path in parallel with one another. The trip valve assembly may also include a plurality of isolation valves fluidly coupled to the hydraulic cylinder via the first flow path and the second flow path. The plurality of isolation valves may be configured to selectively prevent fluid communication between the plurality of trip valves and the hydraulic cylinder to allow testing of one or more of the plurality of trip valves during operation of the turbomachine.

The disclosure is towards an inlet cowl for a turbine engine including a surface defining an inlet with a flow path and a method towards controlling the airflow in the flow path. The inlet cowl further includes an inlet lip and inner and outer barrels. The inlet lip confronts the inner barrel at a junction defining a gap.

A method for manufacturing a compressor includes a step of installing a bundle having an O-ring on an outer peripheral surface inside a lower half casing so that a position of the O-ring in an axial direction coincides with a position of a lower half relief groove, a step of installing an upper half casing having an upper half relief groove on the lower half casing so that a position of the upper half relief groove in the axial direction coincides with the position of the O-ring, and a step of pressing the bundle in the axial direction to move the O-ring to a position away from the lower half relief groove and the upper half relief groove, and bringing the O-ring into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the lower half casing and the inner peripheral surface of the upper half casing.

A variable vane fluid system is disclosed with variable stator vanes and a unison actuation structure supported for movement about a longitudinal axis between a first rotational position and a second rotational position to coincidentally rotate the plurality of vanes. The unison actuation structure has a projection. The variable vane fluid system further includes an elongate linkage member having a first portion connected to a stator vane and a second portion with an aperture that receives the projection. The aperture includes an inner surface with a tapered inner surface profile to allow the projection to tilt within the aperture as the unison actuation structure rotates between the first rotational position and the second rotational position.

A ram air turbine (RAT) restow system includes an actuator assembly with a piston interposed between an upper fluid compartment and a lower fluid compartment. The actuator assembly is configured to selectively move the piston between a deployed position and a stowed position. A hydraulic restow circuit is interposed between the actuator assembly and a hydraulic fluid system that is configured to output fluid. The hydraulic restow circuit includes a restow valve configured to operate in a first position that establishes a first fluid path to deliver the fluid to the upper fluid compartment and a second position that establishes a second fluid path to deliver the fluid to the lower fluid compartment.

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a lock apparatus that includes a latch hook having a catch at a first latch end, a first pivotal mount at a second latch end opposite the first latch end, and a second pivotal mount, a rotary actuator configured to selectably rotate a rotor shaft in a first rotary direction and in a second rotary direction opposite the first rotary direction, a rotor arm coupled to the rotor shaft at a first arm end and extending radially outward from the rotor shaft to a second arm end opposite the first arm end, and a link arm pivotably connected to the second arm end at a first link end, and pivotably connected to the second pivotal mount at a second link end opposite the first link end.
