Turbine engine with semi-fixed turbine driving a receiver controlled so as to preserve a roughly constant rotation speed
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a turbine engine ( 1 ) with a semi-fixed turbine, particularly for aircraft driving a receiver ( 2 ) controlled so as to preserve a roughly constant rotation speed. The turbine engine, in particular via a gear system ( 20 ), drives the receiver and an LP compressor ( 6 ) with an LP turbine ( 14 ). According to the invention, the gear system has a torque control system ( 26 ) maintaining a constant ratio between the drive torque of the receiver transmitted by the gear system and the drive torque of the LP compressor transmitted by this same gear system.
