A variable pitch fan for gas turbine engine is provided. The variable pitch fan includes a plurality of fan blades rotatably coupled to a disk and an actuation assembly for changing a pitch of each of the plurality of fan blades. The actuation assembly generally includes an actuation member operably connected to at least one of the plurality of fan blades and a pin. The pin is movable between a first position in which the pin is positioned at least partially in a channel defined in the actuation member, and a second position. The pin blocks movement of the actuation member relative to the pin past a range defined by the channel when in the first position. The actuation assembly further includes a retraction system for selectively engaging the pin in moving the pin from the first position to the second position.

An aircraft engine variable area fan nozzle structure disposed abaft a thrust reverser, including a sleeve translatable over a cascade array, comprises two semi cylindrical segments that can be axially translated and radially tilted to enlarge the fan duct exhaust area in order to optimize exhaust pressure and associated noise in high thrust circumstances such as on take-off, and to constrict that area under lower thrust conditions such as cruise. The segments are moved by actuators anchored to the fixed engine framework and independently of the thrust reverser translating sleeve. Each actuator incorporates a linear variable differential transformer acting as a fan nozzle position sensor. The tilting movement is imposed by the pivoting links of each segment to carriages that ride in a non-linear trackway secured to a thrust reverser translating sleeve slider. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the thrust reverser sleeve actuator and the variable area fan nozzle actuator are coaxially mounted in a compact assembly anchored to stationary components of the nacelle.

摘要:
A variable vane control system for controlling the angle of rotation of a circumferential row of variable vanes of a gas turbine engine. The control system includes a mechanical linkage operable to rotate the variable vanes, one or more actuators for operating the linkage and one or more position sensors for detecting the respective actuation positions of the one or more actuators. The control system further includes a linkage position signalling switch for signalling that the mechanical linkage is at a calibration position corresponding to a predetermined rotation angle of the vanes. The control system further includes a controller for controlling the one or more actuators and thereby controlling the angle of rotation of the vanes, based on the detected actuation positions which the controller correlates with vane rotation angle. The controller further corrects the correlation between the detected actuation positions and vane rotation angle on receipt of a signal from the linkage position signalling switch indicating that the mechanical linkage is at the calibration positionvanes.
