Question 49Gas Turbine - Assistant Engineer70% to pass

Which of the following statements is true about the "lockout control" on a Synchro-Self-Shifting (SSS) clutch?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Permits operation of the GTE without the rotation of the main reduction gear. The "lockout control" on a Synchro-Self-Shifting (SSS) clutch is designed to allow the operation of the gas turbine engine (GTE) without the rotation of the main reduction gear. This is important for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes, as it allows the GTE to be operated independently of the main propulsion system. The other answer choices are incorrect because the lockout control is not an automatically operated control (B), and it is not incorporated into the input assembly of the clutch (C).
