摘要: A method of operating a multi-engine system of a rotorcraft includes, during a cruise flight segment of the rotorcraft, controlling a first engine to provide sufficient power and/or rotor speed demands of the cruise flight segment; and controlling a second engine to by providing a fuel flow to the second engine that is between 70% and 99.5% less than a fuel flow provided to the first engine. A turboshaft engine for a multi-engine system configured to drive a common load is also described.

摘要: An exhaust turbine includes a turbine wheel having a plurality of rotor blades, an exhaust outlet where the exhaust outlet is arranged downstream of the rotor blades and is delimited radial to the outside by an axial turbine diffusor. An exhaust mass flow can be output in an axial flow direction by the exhaust outlet duct and the axial turbine diffusor opens downstream, radially to the outside at a non-constant diffusor-opening angle, such that at a first diffusor-opening angle deviates from a second diffusor-opening angle by at least 1°. The exhaust turbine further includes a waste gate duct, the outlet region of which opens into the diffusor or directly downstream of the diffusor into the exhaust outlet duct. The waste gate duct is designed to generate a substantially axial flow direction of a waste gate mass flow at the outlet region of the waste gate duct.

摘要: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for operating a multi-engine rotorcraft. The method comprises driving a rotor of the rotorcraft with a first engine while a second engine is de-clutched from a transmission clutch system that couples the rotor and the second engine, instructing the second engine to accelerate to a re-clutching speed, and controlling an output shaft speed of the second engine during acceleration of the second engine to the re-clutching speed by applying a damping function to a speed control loop of the second engine.

摘要: Methods and systems for operating an aircraft having two or more engines are described. The method comprises operating the two or more engines of the aircraft in an asymmetric operating regime, wherein a first of the engines is in an active mode to provide motive power to the aircraft and a second of the engines is in a standby mode to provide substantially no motive power to the aircraft, receiving a request to exit the asymmetric operating regime, the request having at least one parameter associated therewith, selecting one of a plurality of available exit protocols as a function of the at least one parameter, and applying the exit protocol by commanding the engines accordingly.

摘要: A gas turbine engine includes a first spool of a primary flow path and a second spool of a secondary flow path. The second spool is nonconcentric with the first spool. The second spool includes a boost compressor and a load compressor in fluid communication with an inlet plenum. An inlet duct assembly and an outlet duct assembly place the secondary flow path in communication with the primary flow path. The gas turbine includes a controller operable to vary open areas of variable inlet guide vanes to control a flow division between the boost compressor and the load compressor.

摘要: The turboshaft engine for a rotorcraft includes a low pressure spool having a low pressure compressor and a low pressure turbine section, and a high pressure spool having a high pressure compressor and a high pressure turbine section. The spools are independently rotatable relative to one another. The low pressure compressor section includes a mixed flow rotor. A set of variable guide vanes (VGVs) are discposed upstream of each of the low pressure and high pressure compressors, the VGVs being configured to be independently operable relative to one another.
