摘要:
An electronic control system (35) for a turbopropeller (2) having a gas turbine engine (20) and a propeller assembly (3) coupled to the gas turbine engine (20), the control system (35) having: a propeller control stage (35a), implementing a closed loop control for controlling operation of the propeller assembly (3) based on a scheduled propeller speed reference (Nrref) and a propeller speed measure (Nr); a gas turbine control stage (35b), implementing a closed loop control for controlling operation of the gas turbine engine (20) based on a scheduled reference (Ngdotref) and at least a feedback quantity. The control system (35) further envisages an auxiliary control stage (35c), coupling the propeller control stage (35a) and the gas turbine control stage (35b) and determining a limitation of the operation of the gas turbine engine (20), if a propeller speed overshoot is detected, with respect to the propeller speed reference (Nrref).

A turboprop control system 10 for use with a turboprop 2 having a turbine engine 12 operably coupled to and rotationally driving a propeller 14 having variable pitch blades 16 to control the engine speed, propeller speed, and propeller pitch. The pilot provides, by a single power control lever 30, the control input used to control the engine and propeller.
摘要:
A novel airfoil design comprising a reactionary front face that pushes into the flow of air with a high angle of attack and a vacuum-producing face which forces the early separation of the flow of air from the top side of the airfoil, creating an area of high negative pressure which pulls upward, contributing to lift.
摘要:
A mechanical arrangement for an engine having two propeller stages, including: a first epicyclic gear stage including a sun gear, a planet gear, a planet carrier and an annulus, wherein the sun gear is driven by a shaft of the engine, the planet carrier is stationary and thereby permits static structure to be located there through, and the annulus outputs torque and/or drive; a second epicyclic gear stage including a second sun gear, a second planet gear, a second planet carrier and a second annulus, wherein the second sun gear is driven by the annulus of the first epicyclic gear stage and is annular to accommodate the static structure, the second planet carrier includes the output to one of the propeller stages and the second annulus includes the output to the other of the propeller stages; wherein the static structure provides mounting for static components on one or both sides of each epicyclic gear stage.
摘要:
A propulsion device including an unducted upstream propeller and a counter-rotating and coaxial downstream propeller. At least one blade of the upstream propeller is configured to generate a corotating secondary vortex for acting upstream of the downstream propeller to destabilize a blade tip vortex of the same at least one blade.
摘要:
A propfan assembly includes a plurality of blades that each include an internal cavity containing a noise attenuation structure. Acoustic energy is communicated to the internal cavity through a plurality of openings in the blade surfaces. The cavities include features for attenuating noise energy to reduce generation of noise emitted from the propfan assembly.
摘要:
An aircraft turbomachine propeller including multiple blades assembled on a hub rotating around an axis of rotation of the propeller, that can reduce risks of loss of the blade following impact of a foreign body. At least one blade includes a recess opening radially towards the inside in the area of the base of this blade. A retaining device includes a moving retaining mechanism positioned in the recess and configured to be moved from a retracted position to a deployed blade-retaining position, and vice versa.
