  • Synchronization of aircraft engines
    Patent number: 11618581
    Abstract: Methods and related apparatus for improving synchronization of two or more engines on an aircraft are disclosed. Such method may be used where each engine comprises a first spool and a second spool, and, where a rotational speed of a first spool of a first engine has been substantially synchronized with a rotational speed of a first spool of a second engine. An exemplary method comprises receiving a value of a sensed parameter useful in controlling the first engine; adding a bias to the value; and using the biased value for controlling the first engine to cause a change in rotational speed of the second spool of the first engine in relation to the rotational speed of the first spool of the first engine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 23, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2023
    Assignee: BOMBARDIER INC.
    Inventors: Stephen Colavincenzo, Andre Brodeur, Alexis Caron L'Ecuyer, Mirel Bogdan, Dragan Jovicic
