Brushless alternator for helicopter transmission install

摘要

A system and method to converting mechanical rotational energy of an aircraft input shaft (201) of a transmission (111) to electrical energy. The system includes an alternator (113; 501; 601) having an inductor (405; 507) carried by the aircraft transmission (111) and a magnet (403; 509) carried by the aircraft input shaft (201). The input shaft rotates the magnet in relation to the inductor, which in turn converts the mechanical rotational energy to electrical energy.
