  • a GAP is a small turbojet engine, associated with an electric power generator, capable of supplying electrical energy to an electric motor dedicated to moving the aircraft on the ground.
  • GAPs thus usually equip aircraft to power various energy-consuming equipment (electric, pneumatic and hydraulic power, air conditioning) on the ground, and to start the main engines.
  • a GAP may possibly be restarted and used in flight in case of failure of the air conditioning control system or the electrical distribution.
  • a GAP 10 is conventionally composed of a gas generator - comprising an air compressor 1 A1, a combustion chamber 2 of the air mixture A1 and fuel K1, and two turbines 3 and 4 - as well as at least one drive shaft and power 5.

  • This shaft 5 is also a power shaft: residual power is indeed available on the shaft 5 to drive equipment when the GAP is operational, for example on the ground or during certain phases of flight, especially at takeoff, landing or in case of potential engine failure. In the case where the turbine 4 is free, the available power is transmitted to the equipment on a drive shaft collinear with the shaft 5.
