Abstract

Systems and methods for starting an engine on an aircraft are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for starting an engine using an integrated starter. The integrated starter includes a starter air valve and an air turbine starter. The method includes receiving one or more signals indicative of one or more parameters. The method includes determining a valvesetting for the starter air valve based at least in part on the one or more signals indicative the one or more parameters. The method includes providing one or more control signals to adjust a position of the starter air valve based at least in part on the valve setting. The position of the starter air valve regulates the flow of fluid into the air turbine starter.

Description

technical field [0001] This topic generally relates to aircraft. Background technique [0002] The aircraft may use an air turbine starter to start the engines. The starter air valve can be used to supply fluid to the air turbine starter. An air turbine starter may include an air turbine motor, a speed reducer and an overrunning clutch. The air turbine motor converts the energy of the fluid supplied by the starter air valve into high speed rotational energy. A reducer converts a high-speed, low-torque input into a low-speed, high-torque output usable by the engine. The overrunning clutch allows the air turbine motor and reducer to be disconnected from the engine during normal engine operation. The starter air valve operates independently of the air turbine starter. In some cases, the starter air valve may provide excess fluid to the air turbine starter, which may cause unnecessary wear on the engine accessory gearbox. Contents of the invention [0003] Aspects and ad...
