Dual-rotor, single input/output starter-generator

摘要

A starter-generator includes redundant motor/generator sets disposed within a common housing. Each motor/generator set is electrically and mechanically independent of one another, with the exception of a common input/output gear. The starter-generator is configured such that if one of the motor/generator sets experiences a predetermined torsional load, it will decouple from the input/output gear, allowing the other motor/generator set to continue operation uninterrupted.
