An air turbine starter for starting an engine includes a starter housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet. The air turbine starter can include a rotatable turbine member having a central hub defining a platform and at least one blade extending radially from the platform. The air turbine starter can also include a blade cutter.

An air turbine starter for starting an engine includes a starter housing having an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet. The air turbine starter includes a rotatable turbine member having a central hub defining a platform and a set of blades extending radially from the platform. The air turbine starter also includes a damping member.

Air turbine starter with damping member

An air turbine starter having a housing defining an interior with a primary inlet and a primary outlet to define a primary air flow path from the primary inlet to the primary outlet. A nozzle is located within the interior and has circumferentially spaced vanes. A shroud is also located within the interior and circumscribes at least a portion of the vanes. A retention mechanism constrains the axial movement of nozzle.

Air turbine starter with nozzle retention mechanism

An air turbine starter that includes a housing. The housing can circumscribe a turbine coupled that is coupled to a gear train in a gear box via a drive shaft. A primary air flow path is defined between a primary inlet and a primary outlet. Air in the primary air flow path can flow into a secondary air flow path or rotate the turbine, that converts energy from the air flow to rotational mechanical energy. Air in the secondary air flow path can pass through at least a first cavity and first passage before rejoining the primary air flow or joining ambient air.

Air turbine starter with primary and secondary air flow paths

An air turbine starter for starting an engine includes a starter housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path extending between the inlet and the outlet. A turbine section is located within the starter housing and includes a turbine member having a central disk and a set of airfoils spaced circumferentially about the central disk, as well as a sealing structure located within the starter housing.
