Abstract:
A bowed rotor prevention system for a gas turbine engine of an aircraft is provided. The bowed rotor prevention system includes a gear train and a bowed rotor prevention motor. The gear train is coupled through an engine accessory to an engine accessory gearbox that is further coupled to a starting spool of the engine. The bowed rotor prevention motor is operable to drive rotation of the starting spool of the gas turbine engine through the gear train upon engine shutdown.
