US patent US12774683

Inter-rotating assembly power coupling system for turbine engine

Abstract

An assembly is provided for an aircraft powerplant. This assembly includes a differential geartrain, a first rotating assembly, a second rotating assembly, a first actuator and a second actuator. The differential geartrain includes a sun gear, a ring gear, a plurality of intermediate gears and a carrier. The first rotating assembly is coupled to the differential geartrain through the carrier. The first rotating assembly includes a first turbine rotor. The second rotating assembly is coupled to the differential geartrain through the ring gear. The second rotating assembly includes a second turbine rotor. The first actuator is coupled to the differential geartrain through the ring gear. The second actuator is coupled to the differential geartrain through the sun gear.
