The future aero engines expected to have the best fuel efficiency are those with the open rotor propulsion system. It has two rows of propellers rotating in opposite directions. The rotational speeds of the propellers are reduced by a power gearbox. The power gearbox is designed as a differential planetary gear system with double helical teeth. The gearbox for aero engines needs to be lightweight and highly reliable. Misalignment on the gear pair affects adversely the reliability of the gears. The misalignment analysis of the power gearbox based on finite element analysis was carried out. The inclination of the planet spindles associated with the twisting deformation of the planet carrier was identified as the major cause of the misalignment. We developed an innovative design method to achieve the low misalignment and lightweight at the same time by optimizing the stiffness balance of the planet carrier. The optimization analysis was carried out extensively in the design work. The planet carrier design was named Analysis Configured Engineering planet Carrier (ACE CARRIER). A stress measurement was planned to validate the design concept of the ACE CARRIER. A test gearbox was manufactured.

After the lean fuel premixed combustion technology is applied to aero engines, severe combustion oscillations will be cased and led to hidden safety hazards such as engine vibration, further energy waste and other problems. Therefore, it is increasingly important to actively control combustion oscillations. In this paper, a multispectral radiation thermometry (MRT) is used to analyze the hydroxyl group, which is a measurable research object in the combustion chamber of an aero engine, and to fit the functional relationship between the radiation intensity ratio and the temperature in different bands. The theoretical value of the error is <2%. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of weak detection signal and excessive interference signal, an improved frequency domain filtering method based on fast Fourier transform is designed. Besides, the FPGA platform is used to ensure the real-time performance of the temperature measurement system, and simulations and experiments are performed. An oscillating signal with an oscillation frequency of 315 Hz is obtained on the established test platform, and the error is only 1.42%.

Aiming at the irregularity of the fault characteristics of the helicopter main reducer planetary gear, a fault diagnosis method based on support vector data description (SVDD) is proposed. The working condition of the helicopter is complex and changeable, and the fault characteristics of the planetary gear also show irregularity with the change of working conditions. It is impossible to diagnose the fault by the regularity of a single fault feature; so a method of SVDD based on Gaussian kernel function is used. By connecting the energy characteristics and fault characteristics of the helicopter main reducer running state signal and performing vector quantization, the planetary gear of the helicopter main reducer is characterized, and simultaneously couple the multi-channel information, which can accurately characterize the operational state of the planetary gear’s state.
