  • Patent number: 10934886
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method (200) for managing a breakdown of a starter valve of a starting circuit of an aircraft turbine engine, comprising the following steps: —starting (203) the turbine engine, a state-change command being sent to the starter valve in order for it to open; —increasing (204) the engine speed of the turbine engine to a predefined first threshold, —during said increase (204) in engine speed, —if a difference in position has been detected (201) between the position sensors before the step of starting the turbine engine or if a difference in position is detected (205) between said position sensors, determining (207) the position sensor that has switched between the closed position and the open position, the other position sensor having remained in the open or closed position; —when the first threshold is reached, storing (209) the position sensor that has switched between the closed position and the open position as healthy and the position sensor that has remained in the open or

  • Patent number: 8649954
    Abstract: A system for controlling angular position of stator blades including: a mechanism for calculating a set angular position of the blades according to one of speeds; and a module for correcting the set position including: a mechanism for determining the angular position of the blades; a mechanism for measuring fuel flow rate of the turbine engine; a memory unit in which consecutive angular positions of the blades are combined with the fuel flow rates of the turbine engine measured at the angular positions; and a mechanism for determining a correcting angle according to the difference between the fuel flow rates measured between two consecutive angular position of the blades. A method for optimizing the common angular position can utilize the system.
