Abstract: A pitch change mechanism for an aircraft engine includes a unison ring, a plurality of crankshafts coupled to the unison ring and configured to receive a plurality of blades, an inner shaft coupled to the plurality of crankshafts and the unison ring, and an actuator cylinder and an actuator piston. The actuator cylinder is coupled to the inner shaft and is configured to move relative to the actuator piston along a longitudinal axis of the pitch change mechanism. Movement of the actuator cylinder relative to the actuator piston is transferred to a rotation of each of the plurality of crankshafts around a longitudinal axis of each of the plurality of crankshafts to change a pitch of the plurality of blades.

Abstract: An inlet guide vane for use in a gas turbine engine may include an internal cavity for receipt of an anti-ice air to discourage build-up of ice in a flow path of the gas turbine engine. The inlet guide vane can include an anti-ice flow passage formed in a tip of the inlet guide vane which receives the anti-ice air from the internal cavity prior to being discharged from the inlet guide vane. Anti-ice air can be discharged through a tip of the inlet guide vane, through a leading edge of the inlet guide vane, or into a shaft side passage provided in a component defining the inner flow surface. In another form, anti-ice air can be provided from a sump of the gas turbine engine, through a shaft side passage, and into the inlet guide vane before being discharged.

Abstract: An electrical machine includes a stator assembly coupled to an engine stator component of a propulsion engine. The stator assembly includes a stator support assembly fixedly attached to the engine stator component and a stator disposed on a supporting surface of the stator support structure. The electrical machine also includes a rotor assembly including a rotor support structure connected to a shaft of the propulsion engine and a rotor attached to the rotor support structure such that the rotor is disposed radially inward of the stator. The rotor exchanges rotational energy with the shaft to operate as either an electrical motor or an electrical generator.
