Abstract: An aircraft turbine engine includes a gas generator and a fan arranged upstream from the gas generator and configured to generate a main gas flow, one portion of which flows in a flow path of the gas generator to form a primary flow, and another portion of which flows in a flow path around the gas generator to form a secondary flow. The gas generator has a low-pressure body with a rotor driving the fan and a low-pressure compressor situated upstream from an intermediate housing. The turbine engine also includes an electric machine, mounted coaxially downstream from the fan and upstream from the intermediate housing. An intermediate shaft is driven by the rotor of the low-pressure body and drives rotors of the electric machine and of the low-pressure compressor.

Abstract: An exemplary gas turbine engine assembly includes a fan section including a fan, a first spool having a first turbine operatively mounted to a first turbine shaft, and a second spool having a second turbine operatively mounted to a second turbine shaft. The first and second towershafts are respectively coupled to the first and second turbine shafts. An accessory drive gearbox includes a set of gears. A compressor is driven by the first towershaft. A transmission couples a starter generator assembly to the set of gears. The transmission is transitionable between a first mode where the starter generator assembly is driven at a first speed relative to the second towershaft in response to rotation of the second towershaft, and a second mode where the starter generator assembly is driven at a different, second speed relative to the second towershaft in response to rotation of the second towershaft.

Abstract: An aspect includes a method for motoring control for multiple engines of an aircraft is provided. A controller can determine a motoring time of a first engine starting system to cool a first engine. The controller can compare the motoring time of the first engine starting system with a motoring time of one or more other engine starting systems of one or more other engines of the aircraft. The motoring time of the first engine starting system can be controlled relative to a tolerance of the motoring time of the one or more other engine starting systems by adjusting the motoring time of the first engine starting system relative to the one or more other engine starting systems in a motoring sequence based on comparing the motoring time of the first engine starting system with the motoring time of the one or more other engine starting systems.

Abstract: There is provided a rotor bow mitigation system and method for an aircraft engine. At least one value of at least one engine parameter prior to a shutdown of the engine is obtained, the at least one engine parameter comprising a first temperature internal to the engine. A second temperature external to the engine is measured and a motoring duration and a motoring interval for the engine are determined based on at least the first temperature and on the second temperature. Upon detecting a start indication for the engine, the engine is motored for the motoring duration and at the motoring interval.

Abstract: An oil heating system in a turbine engine such as an aircraft turbojet or turboprop main engines, or in an aircraft auxiliary power unit (APU). The turbine oil heating system includes a turbine engine oil circuit for conducting lubricating oil to the turbine engine, an electric starter generator oil circuit for conducting cooling oil from the electric starter generator, and an oil-to-oil heat exchanger connected with the engine oil circuit and connectable with the electric starter generator oil circuit, for transferring heat from the starter generator oil to the engine oil as to warm-up the engine oil during turbine engine motoring prior to actual starting sequence. A low cost and highly integrated system is therefore provided for reducing drag torque of a turbine engine prior to the starting phase.

Abstract: A multiple axle-sleeve driving bidirectional rotating wheel-shaped fan turbine and a bushing wheel-shaped fan compressor, including: a working component, a driving component, a structural and installed component and a starting component. A wheel-shaped fan of the turbine drives a corresponding wheel-shaped fan of compressor to rotate through a driving axle sleeve. A rotating direction of the wheel-shaped fan of the turbine is opposite to a rotating direction of a wheel-shaped fan adjacent to the wheel-fan and rotating speed of the plurality of wheel-shaped fan is different. Each of the auxiliary wheel-shape fans is respectively bushed on each of the wheel-shaped fans of the compressor. A turbojet assembled with this disclosure has a high functionality, a light weight, a quick heat dissipation, an excellent anti-surging and a low energy consumption.
