摘要: Tail rotor control system is described for helicopters. A pedal position sensor operable by a pilot yields greater tail rotor RPM relative to the main rotor RPM, giving the pilot increased control over the vehicle. This proves especially useful in certain situations, such as high altitude, where increasing tail rotor speed from main rotor speed can give a pilot increased maneuverability and stability.

摘要: A removable oil filter system includes an oil filter mount, an oil filter element removably connected to the oil filter mount, an impending-bypass indicator connected to the oil filter mount and in fluid communication with an oil in the oil filter system, and a full-bypass indicator in fluid communication with the oil filter mount. The impending-bypass indicator is capable of reporting an impending-bypass condition of the oil filter system. The full-bypass indicator is capable of reporting a full-bypass condition of the oil filter system.

摘要: There is described a method of operating a multi-engine system of an helicopter. The multi-engine system has a first turboshaft engine having a first shaft, a second turboshaft engine having a second shaft, a gearbox having a clutch system, and a range of rotation speeds defined as a placarded zone. The method generally has rotating the first shaft at a flight rotation speed when clutched and rotating the second shaft at a first idle rotation speed when unclutched, the first idle rotation speed above the placarded zone; decreasing a rotation speed of the first shaft from the flight rotation speed to a given rotation speed within the placarded zone; decreasing a rotation speed of the second shaft to the given rotation speed; clutching the second shaft; and decreasing the rotation speeds of the first and second shafts to a second idle rotation speed below the placarded zone.

摘要: A rotorcraft has a drive system including a main rotor coupled to a main rotor gearbox to rotate the main rotor at a rotor speed, a main engine coupled to the drive system to provide a first power, a supplemental engine coupled, when a first clutch is engaged, to the drive system to provide a second power additive to the first power, and a control system operable to control the main engine and the supplemental engine to provide a total power demand, where the main engine is controlled based on variations in rotor speed and a power compensation command to produce the first power, and the supplemental engine is controlled to produce the second power in response to a supplemental power demand.

摘要: A gearbox system includes a first drive gear rotatable about an axis of rotation and a second drive gear disposed coaxial with the first drive gear and rotatable about the axis of rotation. An input shaft provides a first torque and includes an input gear. Driving pinions are operably connected to the input gear and positioned between the first drive gear and the second drive gear compliantly along a direction parallel to the axis of rotation. Each driving pinion drives the first drive gear in a first direction about the axis of rotation and drives the second drive gear in a second direction opposite the first direction about the axis of rotation. Each driving pinion transfers an equal second torque to the first drive gear and the second drive gear.
