SELECTIVE POWER DISTRIBUTION FOR AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18202734 titled 'SELECTIVE POWER DISTRIBUTION FOR AN AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an assembly for an aircraft that includes a carrier, a first gear system, a second gear system, and an idler gear.

  • The assembly is designed for use in an aircraft.
  • It includes a carrier, which is a component that supports and holds the other gears.
  • The first gear system consists of a first sun gear, a first ring gear, and multiple first intermediate gears.
  • Each of the first intermediate gears is located between and meshes with the first sun gear and the first ring gear.
  • The first intermediate gears are mounted to the carrier and can rotate.
  • The second gear system also includes a second sun gear, a second ring gear, and multiple second intermediate gears.
  • Similar to the first gear system, each of the second intermediate gears is located between and meshes with the second sun gear and the second ring gear.
  • The second intermediate gears are also mounted to the carrier and can rotate.
  • The idler gear connects the first ring gear to the second ring gear, allowing them to transfer motion between each other.


Original Abstract Submitted

An assembly is provided for an aircraft. This aircraft assembly includes a carrier, a first gear system, a second gear system and an idler. The first gear system includes a first sun gear, a first ring gear and a plurality of first intermediate gears. Each of the first intermediate gears is between and is meshed with the first sun gear and the first ring gear. Each of the first intermediate gears is rotatably mounted to the carrier. The second gear system includes a second sun gear, a second ring gear and a plurality of second intermediate gears. Each of the second intermediate gears is between and is meshed with the second sun gear and the second ring gear. Each of the second intermediate gears is rotatably mounted to the carrier. The idler gear couples the first ring gear to the second ring gear.
