Question 49Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhich of the following statements is true about the "lockout control" on a Synchro-Self-Shifting (SSS) clutch?
APermits operation of the GTE without the rotation of the main reduction gear.
BIt is an automatically operated control.
CThe mechanism is incorporated into the input assembly of the clutch.
DNone of the above.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Permits operation of the GTE without the rotation of the main reduction gear. The "lockout control" on a Synchro-Self-Shifting (SSS) clutch is designed to allow the operation of the gas turbine engine (GTE) without the rotation of the main reduction gear. This is important for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes, as it allows the GTE to be operated independently of the main propulsion system. The other answer choices are incorrect because the lockout control is not an automatically operated control (B), and it is not incorporated into the input assembly of the clutch (C).
