Title: Technology development required by propfan power reduction gearboxes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5576827

The design requirements for the propfan transmission are discussed, with respect to the power-turbine and the fan speed ranges required for advanced aircraft, and the weight, reliability, maintenance, safety, and quietness aspects. Particular attention is given to the mechanical characteristics of the materials and the configuration of the planet gear and carrier and the ring gear. The design of the oil system is also considered.
