The aircraft is powered by what?
two CFM International high bypass ratio turbofan engines (-300 and NG)
the duel rotor engine consists of what?
a fan rotor (N1)
and a compressor rotor (N2).
The N1 Fan rotor N1 consists of what?
single stage fan,
three stage booster section connected by a through shaft to a four stage low pressure turbine.
N2 rotor is a
a nine stage axial flow compressor connected by a through shaft to a single stage high pressure turbine.
Variable
the first four stages of a compressor
what exits out of the rear of the engine ?
Fan air and combustion gases out of a separate nozzle
The N1 compressor produces low pressure air and delivers it to what
the N2 compressor which will then produce high pressure air
single stage fan
produces very large volumes of bypass air
what is governed by the MEC
high pressure compressor (N2)
low pressure compressor (N1)
driven by its turbine and is free to select the best speed to ensure optimum airflow.
airflow matching feature allows
compressor sections to adjust themselves automatically throughout the operating range of the engine.
Fan bypass air
used for thrust reversal, generator drive and generator cooling
Fifth stage bleed air
used for the Pneumatic and Engine Anti-ice systems
The Main Engine Control (MEC)
schedules fuel to provide the thrust called for by the Thrust Lever setting.
thrust control system consists of
hydromechanical MEC (main engine control) unit and a PMC (power management control) unit mounted on each engine.
Power Management Control (PMC)
an electronic system with limited authority over the MEC
PMC uses what to obtain desired N1 speed
MEC thrust lever angle, N1 speed, inlet temperature and pressure to adjust, or trim
a function of thrust lever angle
fuel flow
When thrust is set for the climb
PMC automatically maintains that thrust throughout the climb
thrust lever is repositioned
PMC maintains the setting corresponding to the new thrust lever angle
The PMC includes
failure detection and annunciation modules which detect PMC failures and provide a signal to the crew.
controlled by the hydromechanical MEC only.
engine speed
two engine idle speeds
, low idle and high idle
minimum engine speed for all flight phases
high idle
temperature and airspeed decrease
high idle speed also decreases
average high idle setting
approximately 32% N1.
after touchdown
Engine idle speed is reduced to low idle, approximately 22% N1
Engine Fuel Shutoff Valve is electrically controlled by
Engine Start Lever and the Engine Fire Warning Switch
Illumination of the FILTER BYPASS Light indicates
an impending or actual bypass of the fuel filter due to contamination
The second stage fuel pump provides
high pressure fuel to the Main Engine Control (MEC).
fuel heater uses
engine oil to heat the fuel for anti-icing purposes.
to meter the correct amount of fuel to the combustor
the MEC and PMC use thrust lever angle, fan inlet pressure and temperature, N1 RPM and N2 RPM
Fuel flows from
MEC through the MEC fuel shutoff valve.
mechanically controlled by the Engine Start Lever
MEC fuel shutoff valve
fuel flow transmitter measures
rate of fuel flow from the MEC.
Oil from the engine oil tank is circulated to
lubricate the engine bearings and accessory gearbox
pressurized by the engine driven oil pump.
oil system
engine driven scavenge pumps
oil is returned to the oil tank
engines may be started with air from
APU, from a ground source, or by using engine crossbleed
The Engine Start Switch GRD position uses DC power from the battery bus to
open the starter valve and allow pressure from the pneumatic manifold to rotate the starter.
The starter
a turbine-type air motor which rotates the N2 compressor through the accessory drive gear system.
fuel is supplied to the combustor
When the Engine Start Lever is advanced to the IDLE position
With the Engine Start Switch in the GRD position
starter valve opens and the selected igniter(s) are energized
The CONT position energizes
selected igniter(s).
The FLT position energizes
both igniters
when the Engine Start Switch is in FLT.
Ignition Select Switch is bypassed
IGN L, powered by the AC transfer bus
provides single high energy ignition to the left igniter
IGN R, powered by the AC standby bus,
provides single high energy ignition to the right igniter
Aft movement of the reverser sleeves causes
blocker doors to deflect fan discharge air forward, through fixed cascade vanes, producing reverse thrust
If hydraulic system A or B fails,
available through the standby hydraulic system.
thrust reverser can be deployed when
either radio altimeter senses less than 10 feet altitude, or when the air/ground sensor is in the ground mode.
Movement of the Reverse Thrust Levers is mechanically restricted until
Forward Thrust Levers are in the idle position.
until the reverser sleeves have approached the deployed position.
interlock mechanism restricts further movement of the Reverse Thrust Lever
Terminating reverse thrust removes
locking pawls and restores forward thrust lever movement ability.
REVERSER UNLOCKED Light illuminates
When either reverser sleeve moves from the stowed and locked position
As the thrust reverser reaches the deployed position
Reverse Thrust Lever can be raised to detent No. 2.
maximum reverse thrust
Reverse Thrust Lever can be pulled beyond detent No. 2
command the reverser to stow
Downward motion of the Reverse Thrust Lever past detent No. 1
thrust reverser is stowed
isolation valve closes.
REVERSER Light
illuminates when the thrust reverser is commanded to stow and extinguishes 10 seconds later when the isolation valve closes.
MASTER CAUTION and ENG System Annunciator Light illuminates.
when REVERSER Light illuminates for more than approximately 12 seconds, a malfunction has occurred
reverser sleeves are in the stowed position
a locking actuator inhibits motion of each reverser sleeve until reverser extension is selected.
auto-restow circuit
compares the actual reverser sleeve position and the command reverser position
