Planetary gears in hybrid aviation 1. Recent studies have suggested that planetary gears can be used for distribution of power. 2. Me and my colleagues have begun a similar study to determine how it works. 3. The method of power distribution opens a new door to development of aeroengines. 4. The results suggest that this approach is useful for new type of aviation. 5. The findings reflect a growing body of new electricmechanically transmition.
