Turbine Engine Advanced Accessory Drive System Study

摘要

Turbine engine accessory drive techniques were investigated to establish potential systems for a lightweight low profile package. The frame of reference was provided by three classes of advanced engines for the 1975 to 1980 time period: the (1) low bypass turbofan (fighter), (2) high bypass turbofan (transport), and (3) small turbofan (remote-piloted vehicle). Design study information is presented and used to establish a ranking of candidate system attractiveness against defined and weighted criteria. Conceptual design drawings, depicting a selected system for each study engine class, are provided and development recommendations are given. (Modified author abstract)
