Abstract:
1. A ram air turbine power system comprising: a ram-air turbine movable from a stowed position, inside a fuselage of an aircraft, to a deployed position; a gearbox in communication with a power input shaft having: a first energy conversion device adapted to be driven by the first output shaft; and a second energy conversion device adapted to be driven by the second output shaft; wherein the first output shaft is adapted to rotate at a first output speed, the second output shaft is adapted to rotate at a second output speed different from the first output speed, and wherein the first energy conversion device and the second energy conversion device are movable, along with the ram-air turbine, from the stowed position to the deployed position, the deployed position being outside of the fuselage of the aircraft, said second energy conversion device having a first end pivotally mounted to said aircraft and a second end opposite said first end, said second end having said second output shaft extending therefrom communicating with said gearbox, said second energy conversion device providing a portion of a support arm for said ram air turbine power system.
