Talk about Tq
Hi,
I have a wager with someone. Perhaps you can tip the bet in my favour.
On my helicopter the tq is measured at the engine. The engine(s) can produce more Tq than the transmission can handle. In this experiment we will continue to raise the collective passed the transmission limits and see what happens to the Tq display once the limits are reached. There are limits of TgT, Nf and Tq after which the FADEC fuel limits and the rotors droops.
Simple question, after a limit is reached, I raise the collective further and the rotors droop, what happens to the Tq? Does it rise as my simulator displays, or should it stay reasonably static because the engine is limiting? Is there a difference on which limit is kicking in?
Perhaps you need more info to reach your conclusion, ask and I will supply the details.
I raise the collective and Tq continues to rise but the Nr decays, or I raise the collective and Nr reduces and Tq stays static at the limit. Which one do you think will happen, and why?
