  • Publication number: 20060169101
    Abstract: Mechanical transmission for aeronautical applications, in which a kinematic chain housed inside a leakproof casing has a main power input shaft actuated by a thermal propulsion unit and a secondary power input shaft which can be actuated externally by means of a rotating head which can be coupled to the secondary shaft in a releasable manner by means of a magnetic assembly so as to allow rotation of the secondary shaft at low speed and when the main propulsion unit is inactive.
