  • It is mechanically partially dependent of the other spools in the engine

Questão 7

Questão
What are the advantages of a free turbine propulsion system?
Responda
  • The design flexibility of the layout, easier to start, the spools can run at their optimum speeds independent of each other and the ability to stop the propeller while the engine is still running
  • Easier to start, the spools can run at their optimum speeds independent of each other and the ability to stop the propeller while the engine is still running
  • The design flexibility of the layout, easier to start and the ability to stop the propeller while the engine is still running
  • The design flexibility of the layout, the spools can run at their optimum speeds independent of each other and the ability to stop the propeller while the engine is still running

Questão 8

Questão
Why does a free turbine turboprop engine require a smaller starter motor than direct-drive and compound turboprops?
Responda
  • Because only the high pressure turbine and compressor need to be rotated on start
  • Because only the low pressure turbine and compressor need to be rotated on start
  • Because only the low pressure turbine and ignitor need to be rotated on start
  • Because only the high pressure turbine and ignitor need to be rotated on start

Responda
  • An independent compressor, shaft, turbine combination
  • An dependent compressor, shaft, turbine combination
  • An dependent compressor and turbine combination
  • An independent compressor and turbine combination

Questão 12

Questão
What is a compressor/turbine combination called?
Responda
  • A free turbine
  • A spool
