    Abstract: Aircraft engine mounted to aircraft pylon with variable pitch mounting system includes variable length actuator disposed between engine and pylon for pitching engine relative to pylon. Spaced apart pylon front and rear mounts may pivotably mount front and rear stationary engine components of engine to front and rear mount positions on pylon. Front and rear linkages may vertically suspend engine from pylon with pivotable links disposed between pylon front and rear mounts and front and rear stationary engine components. One or more thrust links may be pivotably joined at link rear ends to pylon rear mount and at link forward ends to front support frame. Alternative mounting system may include support structure cantilevered off pylon for pivotably supporting engine and actuator substantially horizontally disposed between engine and pylon. Incidence angle between engine centerline axis and air streamlines may be adjusted by changing length of actuator.

    Abstract translation: 安装在具有可变桨距安装系统的飞机吊架上的飞机发动机包括设置在发动机和塔架之间的可变长度致动器,用于相对于塔架来引导发动机。 分开的塔架前后悬架可以将发动机的前后固定发动机部件可枢转地安装在塔架上的前后安装位置。 前连杆和后连杆可以将引擎垂直悬挂在塔架之间,枢轴连杆设置在塔架前后安装件和前后固定发动机部件之间。 一个或多个推力连杆可以在连杆后端可枢转地连接到塔架后部安装件上,并且在连杆前端可枢转地连接到前支撑框架。 替代安装系统可以包括用于可枢转地支撑发动机和执行器的支撑结构悬臂式离合塔,其基本上水平地设置在发动机和塔架之间。 发动机中心线和空气流线之间的入射角可以通过改变执行器的长度来调节。

    Abstract: A feedback sensor system is provided. The feedback sensor system includes a first ring rotatable about an axial direction and a second ring also rotatable about the axial direction. The first ring includes one or more first ring features and the second ring includes one or more second ring features. The feedback sensor system also includes a sensor directed at the surface of the first ring for sensing a parameter influenced by the one or more first ring features and the one or more second ring features. The sensor may determine a position of the first ring relative to the second ring by sensing the parameter.

    Abstract: A variable pitch fan for a gas turbine engine includes a fan blade defining a pitch axis and attached at a radially inner end to a trunnion mechanism. The variable pitch fan also includes a disk having a disk segment with the trunnion mechanism extending at least partially through the disk segment. A key is positioned at least partially in a key slot defined in a base of the trunnion mechanism, and further positioned adjacent to a support member of the disk segment. The key defines a first contact line between the key and the key slot and a second contact line between the key and the support member. The first and second contact lines respectively define a first contact reference line in a second contact reference line. The first and second contact reference lines define an angle with the pitch axis of the fan blade greater than zero degrees and less than ninety degrees.
