摘要: A method and system for correlating engine thrust and engine thrust lever angle (TLA) during operation of a gas turbine engine powered aircraft is provided. The method includes: a) providing current flight conditions including a Mach number of the aircraft, altitude of the aircraft, and a TLA; b) determining a corrected fan speed value based on a sensed fan speed and flight conditions; c) determining a first corrected net thrust value based on the corrected fan speed value and the Mach number; d) determining a compensation factor using the corrected fan speed value, the Mach number, and the corrected net thrust value; e) determining a second corrected net thrust value as a function of the TLA; and f) correlating an engine fan speed to the TLA using the second corrected net thrust value as a function of the TLA and the compensation factor.

摘要: A system includes a flow inlet conduit. A primary conduit branches from the flow inlet conduit for delivering flow to a set of primary nozzles. An equalization bypass valve (EBV) connects between the flow inlet conduit and a secondary conduit for delivering flow to a set of secondary nozzles. The EBV is connected to be controlled to apportion flow from the flow inlet conduit to the secondary conduit. A secondary equalization valve (SEV) connects between the flow inlet conduit and the secondary conduit. The SEV is connected to be controlled by drain pressure (PD) to apportion flow from the flow inlet conduit to the secondary conduit.

摘要: There are described methods and systems for providing an autothrottle mode in a propeller-driven aircraft. A thrust change is obtained corresponding to a difference between an actual thrust and a desired thrust for an engine. When greater than a pre-determined threshold, a setting change to one or more control input(s) of the engine is determined. One or more commands is output to cause the setting change of the control input(s).

摘要: Systems and methods are provided that lock thrust reversers and also drive fan nozzles of an aircraft. One system includes a coupling configured to selectively engage and disengage. While engaged, the coupling is configured to rotate to drive a Variable Area Fan Nozzle (VAFN), at least a portion of which is on a translating portion of a thrust reverser of an aircraft. Furthermore, while engaged the coupling is configured to prevent displacement of the translating portion.

摘要: A control system for a variable area fan nozzle (VAFN) having a plurality of petals is disclosed. The control system may include at least one fiber optic shape sensor extending along at least one of the plurality of petals, and a light source operatively connected to the at least one fiber optic shape sensor. The control system may further include a receiver operatively connected to the at least one fiber optic shape sensor. The control system may further include a VAFN control unit in operative communication with the plurality of petals and the receiver. The VAFN control unit may be configured to receive a signal from the receiver indicative of the measured strain along the at least one fiber optic shape sensor, and calculate a nozzle area of the VAFN based on the measured strain.

摘要: A method for controlling thrust from a turbojet that is fuel flow rate regulated by a high limit value for providing protection against surging of a compressor of the turbojet is provided. The method includes: obtaining a first thrust value corresponding to a first operating point of the compressor on the high limit value, the high limit value taking account of an underestimate of the fuel flow rate; controlling the turbojet to reach the first thrust value; monitoring the turbojet to detect underspeed of the compressor; and where applicable: obtaining a second thrust value corresponding to a second operating point that guarantees a predetermined margin relative to the high limit value so as to obtain protection against underspeed of the turbojet; and controlling the turbojet to reach the second value.

摘要: Method and apparatus for controlling pressure in a pressure vessel. A plurality of valves between a pressure source and a pressure vessel can be selectively opened or turned off, singularly or in combinations, to control pressure in the pressure vessel. A maximum pressure threshold and a minimum pressure threshold can be established based on operating considerations of the pressure vessel. One or more of the valves can be turned on when the pressure in the pressure vessel reaches the minimum pressure threshold. One or more of the valves can be turned off when the pressure in the pressure vessel reaches the maximum pressure threshold.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a core engine, a first bypass passage disposed about the core engine and a second bypass passage disposed about the first bypass passage. A flow control is disposed within the second bypass for controlling bypass airflow through the second bypass. The flow control translates axially between an open position and a closed position to vary and control airflow through the second bypass passage.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a first annular portion that is stationary and adapted for partially surrounding an engine core. The first annular portion includes a fore pylon connecting portion. The gas turbine engine also includes a rail coupled to the fore pylon and extending in the aft direction from the first annular portion. The gas turbine engine also includes a second annular portion, arranged aft of the first portion and coupled to the rail. The second annular portion is movable along an engine core centerline between a closed position and at least one open position. The second annular portion is configured to engage the first annular portion in the closed position, thereby providing access to the engine core. The gas turbine engine further comprises a thrust reverser arranged in the second annular portion.
