Gearbox Design
Discussion
Hello everyone!
This is a new project I have been given on my Mech Eng degree...I have to design a gearbox for a microlight...so if anyone has any suggestions or any help for me it would be great!Thanks!
'A speed reduction ratio of approximately 2.38 was originally specified for a microlight powerpack, however a new gearbox must be designed to accomodate a range of low speed high efficiency propellers. It is felt that the higher gear ratio now required may dictate the need to use an epicyclic gear set.
Complete a detail design of the gear set required for the application.
An outline scheme of the gear case, shaft and bearing arrangements are also required.'
I have been given lots of data too, such as engine data, propeller thrusts, the propeller and aircraft performance.
