Inflight Restart without starter power ?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Of the four unrelated things talked about, the last is an unlikely scenario...
How would you restart an engine in flight if you had no power to the starter?
Well... let's think about that for a minute.

    Wow, this video has a range of thoughts and emotions! Then that is topped by an illiterate comment that appears to have no relevance. Jay, I admire your patience with your subscribers and random trolls while giving your views and thoughts regarding various topics, be they gas turbine engines or life in general! I was going to mention the History Channel show on 'air disasters', with an episode about a multi-engined airliner that flew through volcanic ash/dust, causing the engines to 'stop'. If that happens, whatever caused the engines to stop probably won't allow them to restart. Maybe this topic is a big can of worms we don't need to ponder. An airliner will glide for a little bit and can be landed, give or take a large body of water. Just ask Sully! 😊 Cheers and thanks for your time. DD

    FYI: The engine manufactures establish inflight rellte envelopes (altitude/airspeed) for both assisted and windmilling restarts. We do this typically on a dedicated test aircraft such as a flying test bed (FTB). Windmilling starts do not require bleed air from either another engine or APU. I was a flight test engineer at Honeywell in Phoenix and we performed over 1,200 air starts (assisted and windmilling) during the development/certification of the AS900 (HTF7000) turbofan. The correct restart fuel schedule must be determined by test. Note that FADEC controls are self powered by PMAs (permanent magnet alternators), one for each FADEC and do not require aircraft power to control the start. Typically the windmill envelope is between 250 and 300 knots and less than 30,000 feet (each model will have its own specific envelope). I believe that during flight testing we were able to successfully start an AS900 above 35,000 feet. I hope that helps. Thanks for posting.

    Just as an addendum to your scenario, in my experience as an aircraft mechanic back in the '70s and '80s, there was a test called an FCF (functional check flight) test. It was done when the aircraft had a double engine replacement or some other major maintenance done. One of the procedures that the FCF pilot did was to air start each engine in turn. Now this test was done by an extremely experienced pilot and also this is on military fighter type aircraft. The last jet I worked on was the EF-111A. Now this is a different scenario than was asked but it is something I do know a little about and as you stated, this is not something done under normal operating parameters. I think it was a great question and your answer couldn't have been stated any better.

    The reasons and circumstances for an inflight restart are all published in the manual (QRH ect). The manual will describe when to consider a restart, and give a chart of altitude vs airspeed with shaded areas describing when to do a windmill restart, or when to do a starter assisted start. The manufacturers have done all the work figuring out the proper procedures to restart an engine, and how to identify that it might be able to be restarted. Just follow the checklist, and if it starts it starts. We do inflight restarts in the sim all the time.

Its really helpful for them to see it, as its such a non event. Builds a lot of confidence. Shutting off a stove for a chip isn’t a big deal and if you need to restart, just hit start and add fuel, easy peasy. That said, fly whats working first and then deal with problems.

    The most likely scenario for a dual engine flameout is fuel starvation. That doesn't mean fuel exhaustion, but fuel mismanagement.There are a lot lengthy procedures for dual engine flameout, separated into "fuel remaining" and "no fuel remaining". The very first part (e. g. for the A330) assumes no APU bleed available, and optimal windmilling restart speed is listed as 300 knots or Mach 0.82. That's a steep descent without engine power. APUs also often have a maximum altitude at which they can be started, so initially from cruise flight levels, so-called "unassisted start" is the only option. It says nothing about possible engine damage.

    Hey. Hope you are well. I absolutely Love what you do :) I think we can attribute the engine shutdown (restartable) with possible engine rain/hail/ice ingestion or other forms of icing that cause engine flameout. In those cases the EEC can do an automatic relight or the pilot can choose to do a quick manual relight by toggling the M/L and using APU bleed. Other interesting case in engines such as Trent (and I suppose with others as well) is that they have protection functions such as TCM, IPTOS/LPTOS, FOH, FBH Fire, valve failure, fuel metering failure, etc where the EEC is usually programmed to do an automatic shutdown (do a closure of the SOV). However, even in these cases, the EEC is usually programmed to never permit the 2nd Eng to shutdown ever if 1st eng has had a protection function shutdown. So you’ll always have one working engine to use xbleed for light up. I guess all the cases in industry where people say “in case of a dual engine failure” are taken as an acceptable risk (some ~e-9 per eng hr).

    Maybe someone else has already said this. For the CFM56-7B engine ground start, fuel is added at no less than 25% N2 or up to the maximum motoring speed of the starter. Under specific conditions, fuel may be added at 20% N2 and for emergencies only, fuel can be added at 15%. Adding fuel before 15% will nearly certainly cause a hot start. I know there is a pilot quick reference handbook procedure for windmill starts which requires a small range of true air speed to make it work. I don’t recall that procedure off the top of my head however.

    In a modern airliner, I have no direct control over turbofan fuel flow. Or any direct control of an engine mounted fuel valve. On the instrument panel in front of me is a laminated checklist (2 of them), which includes the procedure "DUAL ENGINE FAILURE" surrounded by red. It asks for 250 knots minimum airspeed in the situation. Hurricane Katrina, at it's peak according to Wikipedia, blew with the destructive force of 152 knots. So add 100 extra knots of force on top of that, and shove it into the fan inlet, the core, and against the compressor blades. The machine that I fly is incredible. Absolutely incredible. I don't watch engine speed and temps while trying to fiddle with fuel in a dive. The dedicated computer (double) on each engine takes care of that. I don't have any direct control of the engines. I use levers and buttons in the cockpit to ask the computer nicely for a thrust output, and it decides how and when it will give it to me. Including all starts. There is only one 'do it now - and give me all' control. "The FADEC monitors N2 and automatically turns on both igniters and schedules relight fuel flow in the event of an engine flame out." - Pilots manual. Thanks for being open minded and allowing input.

The APU could not have been started at that altitude, but there is a procedure to restart without any engines with airspeed and the RAT.

    More questions about loosening bolts..... Torque also isn't just a spec for the fastener. The materials it's clamping is also part of the torques spec. Obviously, clamping a softer material may require less torque on said fastener and like you always say, the manufacturer has their specs for a reason. So while the bolt itself can be torqued more, it may cause deformation or cracking of the housing it's clamping. Especially under the heat cycles these engines go through. Since you mentioned self locking nuts, what is the torque required to spin the nut before it starts to clamp? Should that be taken out (added) to the final spec? Final part, the bolts were loosening, but are the nuts actually turning off or is the bolt stretching after a heating cycle or the housing compressing after same cycle? So many questions and probably a simple answer. All basic stuff you are aware of and you didn't cover, but sure you'll take it personally. 😉

    More importantly, the clamping force will change with the temperature. For example, a steel bolt will expand half as far per unit of distance as an aluminum part. Clearances and torque specs take into account the thermal rate of expansion of all the involved components.

This kind of question is what they were asking about restarting a engine with automatics in to drive to try to restart an engine that quit running. But since 1964 /5 they haven't put a rear oil pump in the automatics since and you can't build hydraulic pressure in the Transmission. Therefore you can't drive the engine to get it to restart. Thanks so much for sharing you experience and knowledge with Us!!

    low torque bolts coming loose begs the question, what was the engineer trying to do? The torque on the bolt creates a clamping load that is a portion of the bolt's ultimate strength. So if the value is low, did the engineer feel that a large amount of bolt strength was required to do other things? Other things like managing engine output forces, dynamic vehicle forces, resisting flex of a component resulting from forces applied or changes in temperature. Can you measure the bolts that came loose to see if they are stretched? In my workplace we torque fasteners and mark them. Even if there's loctite. Sometimes in automotive we have cam gear bolts that come loose and nothing seems to work. Nothing I've worked on personally, but a couple friends in drag racing have had this. One was on old chevys and the other was with 3 year old coyote engines in F150s. Totally different cam gears but same problem. For these people nothing seemed to work. They tried strong bolts, loctite and even welding the bolts. Everything failed, so we can see how fastener retention can be a huge challenge sometimes. I use red loctite sparingly on many automotive fasteners. It comes apart easily. Is it because automotive fasteners are always contaminated with something else? Everything has either some kind of factory protection like anodizing, galvanizing, factory thread locking compound, rust, dirt, grease or oil. It could also have any combination of those things. Is it the small amount applied that helps it come out, the heat from using a power tool, contamination or a combination of those things?

    Way back in the dark ages (late 1980s) when I was still flying aboard the CP140 Aurora we would routinely shut down (loiter) number 1 to reduce fuel burn and extend mission duration. On certain relatively rare occasions we would shut down 1 and 4. I don't ***think*** the starter was used when they were relit to cruise back home. Simply unfeathering the prop was enough to cause the engine to spin up. I know. Different situation/engine arrangement. There were (I seem to recall) emergency procedures to spin up an engine if (for whatever reason) you couldn't use the starter and had to get an engine started. One was a windmill start which required a long runway and sufficient airspeed to spin up the engine. Another was a "buddy" start. That required another aircraft to be stopped in front of you and use its propwash to spin up the engine.

    The engines of the Aurora are the Allison T-56. This is a single shaft turboprop, with the propeller mechanically connected via a reduction gearbox to the fuel burning core, or gas generator of the engine. On an airliner engine, there is no mechanical connection between the fan (N1) and the core (N2), so it is much more difficult to get the fuel burning part of the engine up to starting speed. have a look at my video called turbojet or turbofan.

If both engines flame out and the apu refuses to start I’d maximize the aircraft’s glide profile…… it’s a waste of effort to restart in this manor. At this point it’s a waste of crew resources remember the priorities: aviate, navigate communicate :)

    Pilots do what's in the emergency procedures, they don't second-guess them. And if the procedure says "try unassisted restart", they normally will. However, the A330 POH I quoted above also lists the available glide time from FL400, and the pilots have to do what they deem safest, but need a very good reason not to follow the emergency procedures; many of these have been written in blood.

    Again, a super interesting material. BUT - what about all-engine flameouts that happend when airliners flying through/into the volcanic ash clouds. I have watched quite a few documentaries about them and pilots were able to restart the engines in-flight. One of the documentaries was about a 747 with all four engines flame-out and successful recovery.

    I keep noticing that fan blade assembly and it keeps making me think. It would be easy to turn one of those into a wind generator but an airworthy one would be way too expensive. I suspect one only suitable for ground installation would also be way too expensive. However one past it's design life that has been used on an aircraft then the ground might not be. Even if you only did not have all of the blades it might work if it was possible to get it ballenced at a wind load of say 20kt. Or are they way too expensive even if completely scrap?

    A compressor blade works like the bat. A turbine blade works like a glove, and air is the ball. If you want to catch air with a bat, it's not the most efficient way, but it could be done. The pressures and speeds are also different, If you really want to generate power from wind, you need something that looks like a wind turbine.

It's a simple software addition, done over Wi Fi. 128 million US... plus apllicable fees and taxes... each. That's each engine.. So a smidgen over a billion oughtta do it. I like that...

    Some additional info: The whole video was started with emergency situation when engines are lost only emergency power is available from Ram Air Turbine or from batteries. Yes all this emergency scenarios are designed into the airplane systems BUT it never ever happened. For example during operational the histroy of the Airbus A320 the RAT never had to be extended anytime during a commercial flight. Even during the Hudson Landing the RAT was not activated because AC power was available from the main AC busses because the APU was started. So this what if scenaraios are totally out of reality. Nice to analyze it as an engineer but never happen in real life.

    Nice video I totally agree with the statement about too much mug in screen as for the in flight restart there was an incident with a 737 300 flying from South America to the USA that had a duel in-flight shut down due to water ingestion at top of descent they got both engines to relight, but both suffered damage 1 to the point that they had to shut it down the other ran but not well it would not make full power, so they could not maintain level flight forcing them to land off airport which they did well enough to be able to repair the aircraft and fly it out of where they landed it the investigation found that it was possible at low power settings you can ingest enough water to put the flame out, so CFM has spent a lot of time and money making sure that THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN proof 30 years later the Qantas a380 at Singapore fire trucks couldn't put enough water down the intake of the engine that they had lost control over to shut it down it took foam lots of foam to get it to shut down

    Speaking as an unqualified idiot, I'm stuck on how a bolt can loosen if everything is correctly spec'd, in good condition, and not lubricated. It's all boils down to static friction in the threads to oppose counter-clockwise torque (from vibration?). Or, maybe friction really is correct, but there's something unusual with vibration, or the direction/shape of the vibration.

I know you don't have a pile of engines or a wind tunnel to find the best and safest way to do it. You covered the oh-shit situation pretty good but with a lot of options. If you were flying and had to do a restart attempt in the safest way and you had lots of altitude for a glide path. What would Sully do?

    You're right, we found a double flame out. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TACA_Flight_110 It dead stick landed in a large field near New Orleans's NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility This facility it the location of the Saturn V 1st stag rocket assembly back in the 1960's and the Space Shuttle External tank assembly. It's scary to think rain and hail could flame out a modern turbofan engine. I remember that day. I've lived almost my whole life here in New Orleans and that day's rain was the heaviest I can remember.... even hurricanes. I'm not trying to correct the notion that this isn't likely. I think it's an interesting event and read.

    Rain had nothing to do with the shutdown. The engines had their compressors damaged by hail above whatever maximum size they could handle. If the engines could flame out due to just rain, and if they did, they would not have needed to be replaced "on site". So... outside the scope of the discussion in this video. Interesting story, though.
