Abstract
A power system for an aircraft comprises: a motor-generator component; a shaft, wherein the motor-generator component is connectable to the shaft, the shaft connectable to an additional component of the aircraft to for torque transfer with the additional component; and a de-coupler operable to disconnect the motor-generator component from the shaft, wherein the motor-generator component is located between the de-coupler and the additional component in use.
Claims20
A power system for an aircraft, the power system comprising:
- a motor-generator component;
- a shaft that defines an axis of rotation, wherein the motor-generator component is connectable to the shaft, and wherein the shaft is connectable to an additional component of the aircraft for torque transfer with the additional component;
- and
- a de-coupler configured to disconnect the motor-generator component from the shaft, wherein the motor-generator component is located axially between the de-coupler and the additional component in use such that the de-coupler is positioned on an opposite side of the motor-generator component relative to the additional component.
