Abstract
A lubrication system for a turbine engine having one or more rotating components. The lubrication system includes a primary reservoir that stores a lubricant therein. A primary lubrication system supplies the lubricant from the primary reservoir to the one or more rotating components during normal operation of the turbine engine. An auxiliary lubrication system includes an auxiliary reservoir in fluid communication with the primary reservoir and the one or more rotating components. The auxiliary reservoir receives the lubricant from the primary reservoir and is positioned at substantially a six o'clock position of the turbine engine. The auxiliary lubrication system supplies the lubricant from the auxiliary reservoir to the one or more rotating components based on at least one of a pressure of the lubricant in the primary lubrication system, a pressure of fuel in the turbine engine, or a pressure of hydraulics of the turbine engine.
