  • Method for controlling a power plant of a rotorcraft comprising at least two turboshaft engines
    Patent number: 12560127
    Abstract: A method for controlling at least a first turboshaft engine and a second turboshaft engine of a rotorcraft, which set a common kinematic linkage in motion, the rotorcraft having an output electric machine cooperating with a first output kinematic linkage of the first turboshaft engine, the rotorcraft having an input electric machine cooperating with a gas generator of the second turboshaft engine. The method includes the following steps: supplying fuel to the first turboshaft engine, operating the output electric machine in electrical energy generator mode, supplying fuel to the second turboshaft engine, and operating the input electric machine in motor mode in order to supply a second non-zero power to said common kinematic linkage.

  • SYSTEM HAVING A MECHANICAL CONNECTION DEVICE WITH TWO MECHANICAL TORQUE TRANSMISSION PATHS
    Publication number: 20250108930
    Abstract: A system comprising a connection device having a first shaft and a second shaft, the connection device comprising a free-wheel interposed between the first shaft and the second shaft that can only transmit engine torque from the first shaft to the second shaft when a motor mode is activated. The connection device comprises a coupler, the coupler being provided with a fusible section, the connection device comprising a dog clutch connection that can only transmit engine torque from the coupler to the first shaft when an electrical power generation mode is activated.
