  • Patent number: 11780561
    Abstract: There is provided a blade angle feedback assembly for a propeller of an aircraft engine. The propeller is rotatable about an axis and has propeller blades rotatable about respective spanwise axes to adjust a blade angle thereof. The blade angle feedback assembly comprises a feedback ring having a plurality of position markers disposed thereon, at least one sensor configured to provide feedback on the blade angle of the propeller blades by detecting a relative movement between the feedback ring and the at least one sensor, and at least one shielding element provided between the feedback ring and the propeller, the at least one shielding element configured to shield the feedback ring from electromagnetism.

  • Patent number: 11279465
    Abstract: A blade angle feedback ring assembly for an aircraft engine propeller having adjustable angle blades is provided. The feedback ring assembly comprises a feedback ring coupled to rotate with the propeller, the engine configured such that a first electrically-conductive path is defined between the propeller and the engine via the feedback ring, and an electric current conduction element provided between the propeller and the engine to define a second electrically-conductive path between the propeller and the engine in parallel to the first path, the second electrically-conductive path configured with a lower electrical resistance to conduction between the propeller and the engine than the first electrically-conductive path.

  • Publication number: 20220055756
    Abstract: An aircraft firewall feedthrough device for accommodating a feedthrough member extending through an aperture of a firewall of an aircraft is provided. The device includes a plate configured to be attached to the firewall, a first tubular portion extending from a first side of the plate, a second tubular portion extending from a second side of the plate, and a grommet. The plate includes a feedthrough aperture. The first tubular portion, the second tubular portion and the feedthrough aperture cooperatively define a through passage for accommodating the feedthrough member. The grommet is retained inside the through passage. The grommet includes a hole for accommodating the feedthrough member through the grommet.

  • Patent number: 11211184
    Abstract: An aircraft engine comprises an engine case, the engine case flange(s). A harness of wires extends in proximity to the engine case. The harness of wires includes two or more metal shield sleeves externally covering a bundle of wires in a longitudinal direction, the metal shield sleeves being at least partially electrically insulated from one another. A conductive contact between the at least one flange and at least one of the metal shield sleeve.

  • Patent number: 11046422
    Abstract: A blade angle feedback ring assembly for an aircraft propeller rotatable about a longitudinal axis and having an adjustable blade angle is provided. A feedback ring is coupled to the propeller to rotate therewith and to move along a longitudinal axis with adjustment of the blade angle. A plurality of rods are coupled to the feedback ring and extending along a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, the rods configured to support the feedback ring for longitudinal sliding movement along the longitudinal axis with adjustment of the blade angle. At least one shielding element is provided between the feedback ring and the propeller for shielding the feedback ring from electromagnetism.
