Abstract: An engine assembly defining an axial direction (A) and including a gearbox, an engine core including at least one rotor, and a flexible coupling shaft having a first end and a second end along the axial direction (A). The first end of the flexible coupling shaft is connected to the engine core and the second end of the flexible coupling shaft is connected to the gearbox. A damper system is positioned at the second end of the flexible coupling shaft. The damper system is configured to reduce vibrations to the flexible coupling shaft during operation of the engine assembly.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a turbine engine (10) defining an axial direction, a radial direction, a circumferential direction, a first end (99) and a second end (98) opposite of the first end (99) along the axial direction. The turbine engine includes a propeller assembly (14) proximate to the first end including a plurality of blades (42) arranged in the circumferential direction disposed around an axial centerline (12), and a feathering mechanism (60) including a hollow piston rod (19). The feathering mechanism rotates the plurality of blades about a pitch axis (13) extended in the radial direction from the axial centerline. The turbine engine further includes a housing (45) proximate to the second end disposed in adjacent arrangement with the propeller assembly in the axial direction. The axial centerline is defined through the propeller assembly and the housing. The turbine engine further includes a beta tube assembly (100) extended through the hollow piston rod and at least partially through the housing in coaxial alignment with the axial centerline. The beta tube assembly defines an at least partially hollow walled pipe (101) extended along the axial direction. The beta tube assembly further defines a plurality of grooves (111, 112) extended along the axial direction proximate to the housing. A first groove (111) extends at least partially in the circumferential direction and along the axial direction to at least partially define a helix (114) corresponding to a rotatable range of the plurality of blades about the pitch axis, and a second groove (112) extends in the axial direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system 100 for feathering a propeller assembly 14, wherein the system is disposed within a housing 47 of the propeller assembly. The system 100 includes a sleeve 110 defining an outer wall 111 and one or more sleeve tabs 115 extended outward in a radial direction along at least a circumferential portion of the sleeve, wherein the one or more sleeve tabs is separated from the outer wall in an axial direction. The system 100 further includes a retainer 120 defining one or more retainer tabs 125 extended inward in the radial direction, wherein the one or more retainer tabs is disposed between the outer wall 111 and the one or more sleeve tabs 115 of the sleeve 110 along the axial direction. Still further, the system includes a beta tube assembly 130 extended through the sleeve along the axial direction, wherein the beta tube assembly defines one or more internal walls 131, wherein the one or more internal walls defines a hydraulic fluid transfer cavity 132 in fluid communication with one or more hydraulic fluid transfer orifices 133.
