Abstract

The engines which have output shafts connected to traction speed change mechanisms via freewheel clutches are decelerated or accelerated at a desired speed change ratio and then rotate and drive a collector gear and a main rotor shaft. A part of output torque of the engines is diverted into gears to drive and rotate accessories and a tail rotor. Such an arrangement is useful for a power transmission for a helicopter in that it enables the speed of rotation of the main rotor to be varied while the speed of rotation of the engines is kept constant.
