Abstract
A routing plate assembly is provided and includes a gearbox having an aft surface, first and second hydraulic components, a routing plate comprising a forward side affixable to the aft surface of the gearbox, an aft side to which the first and second hydraulic components are affixable and a body. The body is formed to define interfacial pathways by which the gearbox and the first and second hydraulic components are communicative.
Claims11
A routing plate for hydraulic lines, the routing plate comprising:
- a forward side affixable to an aft gearbox surface;
- an aft side to which first and second hydraulic components are affixable;
- and
- a body extending between the forward and aft sides, the body being formed to define interfacial pathways by which the gearbox and the first and second hydraulic components are communicative.
A routing plate for hydraulic lines, the routing plate comprising:
- a forward side affixable to an aft gearbox surface of a gearbox;
- an aft side to which first and second hydraulic components are affixable;
- and
- a body extending between the forward and aft sides, the body being formed to define interfacial pathways by which the gearbox and the first and second hydraulic components are communicative,
- wherein the routing plate further comprises:
- a rotatable propeller shaft;
- an oil transfer tube, which is extendible from the gearbox and into the second hydraulic component;
- and
- a gas turbine engine configured to generate rotational energy transmittable to the rotatable propeller shaft by the gearbox to drive rotations of the rotatable propeller shaft.
A routing plate for hydraulic lines, the routing plate comprising:
- a forward side affixable to an aft gearbox surface;
- an aft side to which first and second hydraulic components are affixable;
- a body extending between the forward and aft sides, the body being formed to define interfacial pathways by which the gearbox and the first and second hydraulic components are communicative;
- and
- a transfer tube disposed along one of the interfacial pathways for first and second hydraulic component communication, the transfer tube comprising a first portion sealably disposable in the body and a second portion sealably disposable in the first or second hydraulic component.
