Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An example ram air turbine generator assembly includes a generator housing that holds a generator in axial alignment with a hydraulic pump. The generator housing includes a wall having contacting portions that contact a stator of the generator and spaced portions that are radially spaced from the stator. The generator wall is designed to be strong enough to withstand HLSD and windmilling vibrations, while flexible enough to accommodate thermal expansion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A ram air turbine generator assembly, comprising: a generator housing that holds a generator in axial alignment with a hydraulic pump, the generator housing includes a wall having contacting portions that contact a stator of the generator and spaced portions that are radially spaced from the stator, wherein the stator is radially outboard a rotor, wherein the wall pivots with the generator between a stowed position and a deployed position about a pivot, and a load fro…
