Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gas turbine engine includes a first spool, a first gear system connected to and driven by the first spool, a second spool, and a second gear system connected to and driven by the second spool. A first starter-generator has a first shaft with a switchable coupling connected to the first shaft. The switchable coupling selectively couples the first starter-generator to the first gear system when the switchable coupling is in a first position and selectively couples the first starter-generator to the second gear system when the switchable coupling is in a second position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A gas turbine engine comprising: a first spool; a first gear system connected to and driven by the first spool; a second spool; a second gear system connected to and driven by the second spool; a first starter-generator having a first shaft with splines; and a splined collar connected to the first shaft for selectively coupling the first starter-generator to the first gear system when the splined collar is in a first position and selectively…
