/ - METHOD AND CONFIGURATION FOR AN AUXILIARY POWER ENGINE TO DELIVER PROPULSIVE AND/OR NON-PROPULSIVE ENERGY IN A HELICOPTER ARCHITECTURE

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to optimize the overall traction system available by allowing the auxiliary engine to provide thrust and / or non-propelling power during flight in a helicopter provided with an auxiliary engine. To this end, the auxiliary engine is coupled to provide mechanical or electrical propulsion and electrical non-propelling power directly to the aircraft. An example of a shape architecture is an on-board power supply network 2, two main engines 5a, 5b, and a power electronics 9 connected to the starter 8 of the main engines 5a, 5b. -An energy conversion system for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy between the MGB 40 to transfer power to the propulsion means 4 and means for accommodating electrical energy, including a board power supply network 2 (6, 6a, 6b, 7). In addition, the shape provides mechanical coupling means (8a, 11a to 11d) and energy conversion systems (6, 6a, 6b, 7) between one or more propulsion means (4, 41) and auxiliary engines (3, 10, 30). And an auxiliary power engine (3) for supplying electrical energy to the means (2, 9) for receiving electrical energy therethrough.
