摘要: A gearbox positioning device to position a gearbox relative to an engine case of a gas turbine engine. The positioning device has a first and second part, with the first part having a connecting cavity of predetermined shape and being secured to the engine case. The second part has a coupling post received in the connecting cavity and constraining displacement of the gearbox in a laterally transverse direction with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the engine. The device permits movement of the gearbox in the axial direction of the engine as well as angular movement to prevent stressing the engine case during thermal growth of the engine case or support linkage imbalance. A gearbox positioning system incorporating the positioning device and the method of attaching same to the engine casing is also included.

摘要: A rotary internal combustion engine includes a rotor housing having a peripheral wall circumscribing a rotor cavity and a rotor disposed within the rotor cavity. A side housing is secured to the rotor housing and a plate defines a seal running surface for the rotor. The plate is disposed between a portion of the side housing and the rotor housing and at least one shim is disposed between the plate and the side housing for spacing the plate apart from contact with the side housing.

摘要: An assembly includes a rotor housing, a first rotor, a lubrication system, a first vibration sensor, and an engine control system. The rotor housing forms a first rotor cavity. The first rotor is configured for rotation within the first rotor cavity. The first rotor includes the plurality of apex seals. The lubrication system is configured to supply a lubrication flow for lubrication of the plurality of apex seals. The first vibration sensor is on the rotor housing. The first vibration sensor is configured to generate a vibration measurement signal. The engine control system includes a processor in communication with a non-transitory memory storing instructions, which instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: identify that the vibration measurement signal exceeds a first vibration threshold, and increase a flow rate of the lubrication flow based on an identification of the vibration measurement signal exceeding the first vibration threshold.

摘要: A mounting arrangement for mounting a rotary engine to an aircraft structure, wherein the engine has a three orthogonal axes comprising: a roll axis; a pitch axis; and a yaw axis. The mounting arrangement comprises: one-degree-of-freedom links with reaction axes passing through the roll axis. A separate roll constraint has a moment reaction about the roll axis to decouple the torque roll mode from the other one-degree-of-freedom links.

摘要: A rotary engine where the rotor cavity has a peripheral inner surface having a peritrochoid configuration defined by a first eccentricity and the rotor has a peripheral outer surface having a peritrochoid inner envelope configuration defined by a second eccentricity larger than the first eccentricity. Also, a rotary engine where the rotor cavity has a peripheral inner surface having a peritrochoid configuration defined by an eccentricity, and a rotor with a peripheral outer surface between adjacent ones of the apex portions being inwardly offset from a peritrochoid inner envelope configuration defined by the eccentricity. The engine may have an expansion ratio with a value of at most 8. The rotary engine may be part of a compound engine system.

摘要: Systems and methods for detecting at least one non-functional combustion chamber of an engine comprising a plurality of combustion chambers are described herein. In response to detecting a partial output power loss of the engine, one of the plurality of combustion chambers is assessed by monitoring an engine parameter indicative of an output power of the engine, determining whether a change in the engine parameter has occurred, when the change has occurred, determining that the combustion chamber is functional, and when no change has occurred, determining that the combustion chamber is non-functional and discontinuing fuel injection to the non-functional combustion chamber.
