<p>A drive system (12) for a tiltrotor aircraft (10) that provides for the operation of both proprotors (62, 44) by either engine (54, 36) or by both engines (54, 36). The drive system (12) provides an interconnection drive shaft (50) that extends between and connects the engines (54, 36) in such a manner that power is transferred from one engine (54, 36) to the opposite proprotor (44, 62) in the case of an engne failure. Also, the arrangement provides for the operation of a redundant essential system for the aircraft should an electrical or hydraulic system fail to operate properly.</p> |
