Abstract: A system includes a variable displacement pump (VDP) with an inlet and an outlet, a fixed displacement motor (FDM) with an inlet and an outlet. A first line connects the outlet of the VDP to the inlet of the FDM. A second line connects the outlet of the FDM to the inlet of the VDP. A crossover line is in fluid communication between the first and second lines, with a valving system in the crossover line configured so that the flow through the crossover line can switch directions to allow a change in power flow direction between the FDM and the VDP.

Abstract: A compounding drive includes an input member, an epicyclical gear arrangement connected to the input member, an output member connected to the epicyclical gear arrangement, and a hydraulic pump/motor set. The hydraulic pump/motor set connects the epicyclical gear arrangement to the output member through an overrunning clutch for unidirectional communication of mechanical rotation between the input member and the output member. Engine arrangements, aircraft, and methods of compounding internal combustion engines are also described.

Abstract: A hybrid drive system can include a shaft, an electrical machine comprising a rotor and a stator, and a mechanical disconnect system connecting the rotor to the shaft. The mechanical disconnect system is configured to mechanically connect the rotor to the shaft in a first state and to mechanically disconnect the rotor from the shaft in a second state such that rotor does not drive the shaft or such that the rotor is not driven by the shaft. The rotor can be a permanent magnet rotor, for example.

Abstract: A system includes an electric motor. A drive shaft is connected to be driven by the electric motor. A propulsor is connected to be driven by the shaft. The propulsor is configured to pivot to a first orientation configured to produce lift when the motor rotates the shaft in a first direction, and to pivot to a second orientation configured to produce thrust when the motor rotates the shaft in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction.

Abstract: A cooling system includes a thermal engine having a fluid output, and a motor drive having a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the fluid output of the thermal engine. The fluid inlet of the motor drive is downstream from the fluid output of the thermal engine. The system includes a fluid storage downstream from the motor drive and a fluid output of the motor drive. A method of cooling a motor drive includes outputting a cooling fluid from a fluid output of a thermal engine, receiving the cooling fluid from the fluid output of the thermal engine in a fluid inlet of a motor drive, passing the cooling fluid through the motor drive to a fluid output of the motor drive, receiving the cooling fluid in a fluid storage.
