Abstract: A control system for controlling the pitch of a propeller, the system including a propeller shaft, a blade swivel device having a rotary control element suitable for placing the blades in an angular position corresponding to a desired propeller pitch, and a transmission presenting an outlet member coupled in rotation with the rotary control element of the blade swivel device. The transmission includes a variable speed drive having drive, control, and outlet rotors that are coupled in rotation respectively with the propeller shaft, with a control member, and with the outlet member of the transmission. With the variable speed drive, the speed of rotation of the outlet member of the transmission is a predetermined function of the speeds of rotation not only of the propeller shaft, but also of the control member.

Abstract: A turbomachine or a turbojet engine or a turboprop engine of an aircraft, including at least one oil circuit and a cooling mechanism including a refrigerant circuit including a first heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant and air and forming a condenser, a second heat exchanger configured to exchange heat between the refrigerant and the oil of the oil circuit and forming an evaporator, an expander mounted downstream from the first exchanger and upstream from the second exchanger, in a direction in which the refrigerant circulates, and a compressor mounted downstream from the second exchanger and upstream from the first exchanger.

Abstract: A multi-body gas turbine engine, especially an aircraft engine, comprising at least one low-pressure rotating body, a high-pressure rotating body, and a starter designed to rotate the high-pressure body in order to start the engine, wherein the starter is coupled to the low-pressure body and the engine comprises a first disengageable coupling device disposed between the low-pressure body and the high-pressure body, for rotatably connecting the high-pressure body to the low-pressure body so as to allow the starting of the engine by means of the starter.

Abstract: A gearbox to be mounted on a turbomachine and driven by a radial drive shaft of the latter. The gearbox has a three-dimensional or sinuous shape, which can house a large quantity of equipment to be driven, without occupying a large amount of space in any dimension, since the gearbox remains close to the turbomachine and the equipment can be distributed over a large surface. The drive train of gears successively extends into several non-parallel planes and comprises an axial branch on the turbomachine and a branch forming an arc of circle around the turbomachine.

Abstract: A control system (10) for controlling the pitch of a propeller (50), the system comprising a propeller shaft (60), a blade swivel device (20) having a rotary control element (22) suitable for placing the blades (52) in an angular position corresponding to a desired propeller pitch, and a transmission (12) presenting an outlet member coupled in rotation with the rotary control element (22) of the blade swivel device (20). The transmission (12) includes a variable speed drive (70) having drive, control, and outlet rotors that are coupled in rotation respectively with the propeller shaft (60), with a control member, and with the outlet member of the transmission. By means of the variable speed drive (70), the speed of rotation of the outlet member of the transmission is a predetermined function of the speeds of rotation not only of the propeller shaft, but also of the control member.

Abstract: A hydraulic fuel control unit (100) for an aircraft engine comprises means (14, 2, 16) for controlling cutoff on stop and cutoff on overspeed of a fuel flow transferred by an output (1) to the engine injectors. A logic module (140) controls the position of a state switch (121, 143) into a test position or a normal position. The state module is managed such that the operation of the overspeed module can be tested each time the system is started on the ground. The architecture of the hydraulic unit (100) is such that operation of the cutoff on stop can be tested during each landing. Correct operation in the overspeed test and in the cutoff on stop test is observed by detecting a difference between a control value (153) of an allowable fuel flow that depends mainly on the engine speed, and a real flow value detected by sensors (22).
