Optimization of Governor Design in Helicopter Propulsion Systems with Zero Torsional Stiffness Couplings.

Abstract

The effect of a torsional isolater on governor design for helicopter turboshaft engines was investigated mathematically. It was found that the torsional isolater can significantly improve torsional stability if the power turbine governor is redesigned to take advantage of the isolater characteristics.
