  • Patent number: 10724444
    Abstract: An air turbine starter for starting an engine, comprising a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet for communicating a flow of gas there through. A turbine member is journaled within the housing and disposed within the flow path for rotatably extracting mechanical power from the flow of gas. A gear train is drivingly coupled with the turbine member, a drive shaft is operably coupled with the gear train, and an output shaft is selectively operably coupled to rotate with the engine. A containment screen is located within the housing downstream of the at least one turbine member.
    Type: Grant
