Abstract
A torque indicator for an aircraft having a main rotor system and a translational thrust system driven by at least one engine includes a first indicator operable to display an actual torque of an engine of the aircraft relative to an engine torque limit, a second indicator operable to display an actual torque of the translational thrust system of the aircraft relative to a translational thrust system torque limit, and a third indicator operable to display an actual torque of the main rotor system of the aircraft relative to a main rotor system torque limit.

A torque indicator for an aircraft having a main rotor system and a translational thrust system driven by at least one engine comprising:
- a first indicator operable to display an actual torque of an engine of the aircraft relative to an engine torque limit;
- and
- a second indicator operable to display an actual torque of the translational thrust system of the aircraft relative to a translational thrust system torque limit;
- and
- a third indicator operable to display an actual torque of the main rotor system of the aircraft relative to a main rotor system torque limit.
A method of displaying a torque of various components of an aircraft comprising:
- indicating, via a first indicator, an actual torque of an engine of the aircraft relative to an engine torque limit on a torque display displaying;
- indicating, via a second indicator, an actual torque of a translational thrust system of the aircraft relative to a translational thrust system torque limit on the torque display;
- and
- indicating, via a third indicator, an actual torque of a main rotor system of the aircraft relative to a main rotor system torque limit on the torque display.
