OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT ENGINES DURING TRANSIENT CONDITIONS

摘要

Aircraft engines and methods for operating such aircraft engines during transient conditions are described. An exemplary method comprises identifying a transient condition of the aircraft engine and at least partially absorbing the transient condition using an electrical system of the aircraft. When the transient condition requires acceleration of the engine, absorbing the transient condition may comprise transferring power from the electrical system to the high-pressure spool of the engine. When the transient condition requires deceleration of the engine, absorbing the transient condition may comprise transferring power from the high-pressure spool to the electrical system.
