    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a turbomachine comprising a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section arranged in serial flow order; a fan defining a fan axis and comprising a plurality of fan blades rotatable about the fan axis; and a pitch change mechanism operable with the plurality of fan blades to control a pitch of the plurality of fan blades. The pitch change mechanism imparts a torque to each fan blade of the plurality of fan blades via first and second forces imparted in opposite directions to each fan blade of the plurality of fan blades.

    Abstract: An improved efficiency propeller for aircraft includes a blade structure mounted onto a propeller hub, a servo unit, and a cantilevered base. A distinctive feature of the disclosure is that the blade structure includes a main mast, which is mounted onto a propeller hub and forms the spine of the leading edge of the blade structure, and at least one secondary mast aligned with the main mast, and turning spacers with struts are mounted onto the main mast, and the struts are covered by lateral pieces of a skin module, and the overlapping and flexible lateral pieces of the skin module form a skin.

    Abstract: A control device includes a mechanical system for moving a mechanical slide. The control device further includes a first electric drive configured to receive a position target value and to drive the mechanical system to move the mechanical slide to the position target value. The control device also includes a second electric drive configured to receive the same position target value and to drive the mechanical system to move the mechanical slide to the position target value. The two electric drives are provided and configured to jointly and simultaneously drive the mechanical system and, upon the other electric drive failing, to drive the mechanical system alone and, upon their own failure, not to obstruct the mechanical system from then being driven only by the other electric drive.

    Abstract: A propeller includes a blade free to rotate. A first stop is positioned to mechanically engage one or both of a first portion of the blade and a first structure coupled to the blade when the blade is in a first position at a first end of the rotational range of motion. A second stop is positioned to mechanically engage one or both of a second portion of the blade and a second structure coupled to the blade when the blade is in a second position at a second end of the defined rotational range. The blade rotates to the first position against the first stop when the propeller is rotated in a first direction and to the second position against the second stop when the propeller is rotated in a second direction.
