ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for varying the pitch of propulsor blades of a gas turbine engine by eccentrically driven gears. The gas turbine engine includes a rotating structure, an annular gas flowpath coaxial with the rotating structure, a plurality of rotor blades coupled to the rotating structure and extending into the gas flowpath such that a gas stream flowing through the flowpath causes the rotating structure to rotate with respect to the stationary member and a plurality of variable pitch propulsor blades coupled to and disposed radially outwardly of the rotating structure. The pitch of the blade is varied by a pinion gear coaxially coupled to one of the propulsor blades and an internal gear radially disposed about the pinion gear for driving the pinion gear. Annular displacement of the pinion gear causes angular displacement of the propulsor blade with respect to the rotating structure. The internal gear is revolved about the pinion gear whereby the pinion gear is angularly displaced with respect to the rotating structure.
