Abstract: A hybrid propulsion system includes a heat engine configured to drive a heat engine shaft. An electric motor configured to drive a motor shaft. A transmission system is connected to receive rotational input power from each of the heat engine shaft and the motor shaft and to convert the rotation input power to output power. A first lubrication/coolant system is connected for circulating a first lubricant/coolant fluid through the heat engine. A second lubricant/coolant system in fluid isolation from the first lubrication/coolant system is connected for circulating a second lubricant/coolant fluid through the electric motor.

Abstract: A multi-spool gas turbine engine comprises a low pressure (LP) spool and a high pressure (HP) spool independently rotatable about a central axis extending through an accessory gear box (AGB). The LP spool has an LP compressor, which is axially positioned between the HP compressor of the HP spool and the AGB. A tower shaft drivingly connects the HP spool to the AGB.

Abstract: There is described herein methods and systems for detecting a shaft event in a gas turbine engine comprising a power turbine having a first shaft extending in a first direction and a second shaft extending in a second direction opposite from the first direction. A first speed measurement is obtained at a first location along the first shaft and a second speed measurement is obtained at a second location along the second shaft. A speed ratio is determined between the first speed measurement and the second speed measurement, and is compared to a detection threshold. The shaft event is detected when the speed ratio is beyond the detection threshold.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine with a transmission having a variable ratio is discussed. A first gear train is in driving engagement with the low pressure spool and has a first output gear. A second gear train is in driving engagement with the high pressure spool and has a second output gear spaced apart from the first output gear. A third gear train defines a driving engagement between the low pressure spool and the low pressure compressor rotor with a variable transmission ratio. A fourth gear train is in driving engagement with the first and second output gears, and in driving engagement with the third gear train to determine the transmission ratio. A method of adjusting a speed of a low pressure compressor rotor of a gas turbine engine is also discussed.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine including at least one high pressure turbine rotor and at least one high pressure compressor rotor drivingly engaged to a rotatable high pressure spool, a low pressure spool rotatable independently of the high pressure spool, at least one low pressure turbine rotor drivingly engaged to the low pressure spool, and a rotatable load drivingly engaged to the low pressure spool. A fixed rotational speed ratio is defined between rotational speeds of the at high pressure turbine and compressor rotors. A fixed rotational speed ratio is defined between rotational speeds of the low pressure turbine rotor(s) and of the low pressure spool. A low pressure compressor rotor is in driving engagement with the low pressure spool through a variable transmission which defines a variable rotational speed ratio between the rotational speeds of the low pressure spool and of the low pressure compressor rotor.
