Aircraft electric taxi system with friction actuated, bi-directional clutch
摘要
An electric taxi system (ETS) for an aircraft may comprise drive motors mounted coaxially with wheels of the aircraft. A clutch assembly may be interposed between the drive motor the wheel. The clutch assembly may transmit torque from the motor to the wheel when the wheel and a rotor of the motor rotate at the same rotational speed. The clutch assembly may selfdisengage a rotor of the motor from the wheel when the wheel rotates faster than the rotor.
