    摘要: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for operating a rotorcraft comprising a plurality of engines configured to provide motive power to the rotorcraft. The rotorcraft is operated in a first flight regime. A target output power range for at least one of the plurality of engines is determined, the target output power range associated with operating the rotorcraft in a second flight regime different from the first flight regime in which at least one first engine of the plurality of engines is operated in an active mode to provide motive power to the rotorcraft and at least one second engine of the plurality of engines is operated in a standby mode to provide substantially no motive power to the rotorcraft. A graphical representation of the target output power range for the second flight regime is produced via a flight display in a cockpit of the rotorcraft.

    摘要: A gas turbine engine has a first spool having a low pressure compressor section in fluid communication with an air inlet, the low pressure compressor section including a first plurality of variable guide vanes therein, and a low pressure turbine section drivingly engaged to the low pressure compressor section. A second spool has a high pressure compressor section in fluid communication with the low pressure compressor section to receive pressurized air therefrom, the high pressure compressor section including a second plurality of variable guide vanes at an entry thereof, and a high pressure turbine section drivingly engaged to the high pressure compressor section, the high pressure turbine section disposed upstream of the low pressure turbine section and in fluid communication therewith. An output drive shaft drivingly engages the low pressure turbine section and is adapted to drivingly engage a rotatable load of the gas turbine engine.
