Constant Speed Drives

Constant Speed Drives MODERN turbojet engines have a shaft speed range of approximately 2 to 1 from ground idle to takeoff and it is necessary, therefore, to have some form of infinitelyvariableratio gearbox to obtain a constant speed for accessories such as a.c. generators. Various means of doing this are available for example, these could be mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic, or a combination of these. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the major types of constant speed drive C.S.D. that have been evolved, mentioning the design problems associated with each. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology Emerald Publishing
