Abstract
An overspeed protection system for an aircraft fan engine wherein blades are rotatable from a coarse pitch to a fine pitch to a thrust-reverse condition. A wobbler-type hydraulic motor is provided for rotating the blade. An overspeed governor is operatively associated with the motor for effecting rotation of the blades in a direction toward the coarse pitch condition. A control, including a solenoid valve actuatable in thrust-reverse mode, changes the sense of the hydraulic motor to drive the motor further into thrust-reverse on actuation of the overspeed governor means.
