摘要: A fan assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a fan disk, a trunnion, an actuation device, a fan blade, and a counterweight assembly. The trunnion is mounted to the fan disk. The actuation device is operably coupled to the trunnion. The fan blade is rotatably attached to the fan disk. The counterweight assembly includes a link arm, a lever arm, a hinge, and a counterweight. The link arm is connected to the trunnion, to the actuation device, or to both. The link arm is configured to drive rotation of the trunnion relative to the fan disk. The hinge is pivotably connected to the lever arm. The lever arm is connected to the link arm and is disposed to rotate about a connection point of the lever arm and the hinge. The counterweight is mounted to the lever arm at a location spaced from the hinge.

摘要: The invention relates to a method for controlling the speed and the power of a turbine engine propeller, wherein at least two operating modes are implemented: —one operating mode, called “speed mode”, in which the pitch (β) of the propeller is controlled as a function of the desired propeller speed, while the fuel flow is controlled as a function of the desired torque; the other operating mode, called “β mode”, in which the fuel flow is controlled as a function of the desired propeller speed, the pitch (β) of the propeller being set to a limit angle (βmin) that limits the pitch of the propeller in the two operating modes, the pitch angle (βmin(t)) being continuously computed and updated during a flight on the basis of parameters relating to the flight conditions estimated in real time.

摘要: Systems and methods for limiting power of a gas turbine engine for an aircraft are described herein. A blade angle of a propeller blade of the engine and a commanded power for the engine are obtained. A thrust transition direction is determined. The commanded power is compared to a selected threshold based on the blade angle and the thrust transition direction. Power to the engine is limited when the commanded power exceeds the selected threshold.

摘要: Methods and systems for operating a gas turbine engine coupled to an aircraft propeller are described herein. A request for reverse of the propeller thrust is received from a power lever of the aircraft. A blade angle of the propeller is determined. Reverse thrust of the propeller is inhibited when the blade angle exceeds a threshold. Reverse thrust of the propeller based on the request is enabled when the blade angle is below the threshold.

摘要: There are described methods and systems for controlling an aircraft. The system comprises a power plant controller configured for controlling operation of an engine and a propeller coupled to the engine, a power throttle having at least one throttle lever to regulate output power of the engine and thrust produced by the propeller, and an autothrottle controller operatively connected to the power plant controller and to the power throttle and configured to modulate engine power without pilot input by causing a change to at least one setting of the power throttle.

摘要: A thrust scheduling method for a gas turbine engine that includes a plurality of blades having a variable pitch beta angle is provided. The method can include receiving into a control system at least one condition input from a respective sensor; receiving into a control system a low pressure shaft speed from a low pressure shaft speed sensor; receiving a control command from a full authority digital engine control (FADEC) in the control system; generating a low pressure shaft speed base reference from a first schedule logic in the control system based upon the at least one condition input received and the control command received; generating a beta angle base reference from a second schedule logic from the at least one condition input received, the low pressure shaft speed, and the control command received; and supplying the low pressure shaft speed base reference and the beta angle base reference to an engine control system, wherein the engine control system adjusts at least the pitch angle of the plurality of fan blades or a fuel flow to the engine.

摘要: A pitch control mechanism for an open rotor gas turbine engine is provided, the engine having a first rotor assembly and a second rotor assembly, with a plurality of airfoil blades circumferentially mounted on each rotor assembly, and arranged in contra-rotational relationship to each other. The pitch control mechanism includes an actuator assembly configured to be secured to a non-rotating frame of the engine, the actuator assembly having a first actuator and a second actuator, with the actuator assembly being rotationally isolatable from and couplable to the first and second rotor assemblies such that, in use, an actuation signal from the first or second actuator induces a corresponding desired change in pitch of the airfoil blades of the respective first or second rotor assembly independently of the pitch of the airfoil blades of the second or first rotor assembly.

摘要: A propeller governor for controlling blade pitch of a variable pitch propeller has a hydraulic control circuit coupled to the propeller to change blade pitch in response to hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic control circuit has a first pressure path configured to adjust blade pitch within a first range of blade pitch, and a second, different pressure path configured to adjust blade pitch within a second range of blade pitch. An electrohydraulic servo valve of the governor is configured to adjust hydraulic pressure in the first pressure path to adjust blade pitch within the first range and to adjust hydraulic pressure in the second pressure path to adjust blade pitch within the second range.

摘要: A flight control system of a turboprop airplane includes electronic controlled engines, which are governed by a manual operating device for setting the engine power in order to obtain a certain airspeed, a device for selecting a desired airspeed, and an engine control system for computing and controlling the required engine torque and speed as a function of ambient and engine conditions, the selected engine speed and the setting of said operating device. For automatically controlling the engine speed during the final approach to an airfield, the system includes an electronic approach speed control unit of which the adjustment signal influences the engine control device keeping the speed of the airplane during approach at a selected value whereby said manual operating device has a fixed setpoint. This electronic speed control unit may be carried out as an add-on device for retrofitting on a flight control system.
