    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A torque loop decoupler decouples a torque loop from a speed loop to allow only the speed loop to react to small, rapid changes in engine speed. The torque loop decoupler calculates a compensation signal and adds the compensation signal to a control signal of the torque control loop. The compensation signal keeps the control signal constant during small, rapid changes in engine speed. The compensation signal is calculated as the partial derivative of turbine torque with respect to changes in engine speed multiplied by a signal indicative of small, rapid changes in engine speed.

    摘要: The invention concerns a control for an aircraft propeller. During operation in reverse pitch, as occurs upon thrust reversal during a landing maneuver, the speed of the propeller is controlled by adjusting pitch of the propeller, in order to prevent overspeeding. Further, during the transition period while the propeller is converting from forward pitch to reverse pitch, the propeller presents a light load to the engine. At this time, fuel flow to the engine is limited in order to restrict delivery of energy to the propeller, again, for the purpose of preventing overspeeding.

    摘要: An integrated control system for coaxial counterrotating aircraft propulsors driven by a common gas turbine engine. The system establishes an engine pressure ratio by control of fuel flow and uses the established pressure ratio to set propulsor speed. Propulsor speed is set by adjustment of blade pitch.

    摘要: An auxiliary power unit for an aircraft drives an electrical generator and an air compressor. The auxiliary power unit is primarily intended for operation with the aircraft on the ground when other aircraft power systems are shut down. The auxiliary power unit may, however, be used in an emergency to supplement the main aircraft generating system, with the aircraft airborne. When the auxiliary power unit generator is used in conjunction with the aircraft generating system, inlet air to the compressor is controlled to vary the compressor load on the power unit to minimize power unit speed changes and electrical frequency transients.
