摘要

Gas turbine engines (10) including integrated ATS systems. In one embodiment, a gas turbine engine includes an accessory gearbox (AGB (14)) and an integrated ATS system. The AGB includes a gearbox gear train (30) within a gearbox housing (28). The integrated ATS system is removably installed on the AGB and includes an ATS (20) having an air turbine (56) and an output shaft (34) coupled thereto. An ATS clutch module (24) is coupled to the ATS output shaft. An ATS clutch module is further received within the gearbox housing and mechanically couples the ATS output shaft to the gearbox gear train when the integrated ATS system is installed on the AGB.
