  • Publication number: 20220388673
    Abstract: A propulsion system (1) for a helicopter, comprising a turboshaft engine (2) with a linked turbine and an electric machine (3) capable of operating as an electric motor, the turboshaft engine (2) and the electric machine (3) being capable of driving in rotation at least one main rotor (5) intended to be coupled to a rotating wing (6) characterised in that it comprises means of coupling and decoupling (14) in rotation between a rotor (3a) of the electric machine (3) and a rotor (2a) of the turboshaft engine (2), the means of coupling and decoupling (14) being capable of allowing the rotor (2a) of the turboshaft engine (2) to be driven in rotation with the aid of the electric machine (3), in a first state of the propulsion system (1), and capable of allowing the rotor (2a) of the turboshaft engine (2) and the rotor (3a) of the electric machine (3) to be decoupled in rotation, in a second state of the propulsion system (1).

  • Patent number: 11391203
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aircraft propulsion system, comprising a main transmission unit (12) and at least two turbojet engines connected to the main transmission unit (12), respectively a first turbojet engine (14a) and a second turbojet engine (14b), each turbojet engine comprising a free turbine (24a, 24b), characterized in that the first turbojet engine (14a) comprises a heat exchanger (30) configured to recover some of the thermal energy from the exhaust gas at the outlet of the free turbine, and in that the propulsion system comprises at least one computer (28a, 28b) configured to control the two turbojet engines and to limit the acceleration and the deceleration of the first turbojet engine (14a) when neither of the turbojet engines is broken down, in order to limit the reactor power transients at the heat exchanger (30).

  • Patent number: 11125630
    Abstract: The invention relates to a temperature measurement device comprising at least three probes, a computer, the computer being configured to estimate a temperature on the basis of voltage measurements at the output of the probes, characterised in that the probes are connected together in a plurality of meshes mounted in series, with at least one mesh comprising at least two probes mounted in parallel and at least one other mesh comprising a probe or a plurality of probes mounted in parallel.
