INTEGRATED MOTOR FOR MAIN ENGINE. ‘COOLING ‘TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present disclosure generally relates 10 an ‘engine system with an air turbine starter aa, more particu relates to an ie turbine starter with an integrated motor for main engine cooling. BACKGROUND, 10002] An engine, such as a gas turbine engine, will generate heat due to combustion, fiction, and/or other ‘causes. This heat may be transfered through the various parts of the engine during operation, In some instances (e-., after and/or during shutdown ofthe engine), a heat gradient may develop between different areas of the engine. For ‘example, ane or more rotating parts ofthe engine may cool unevenly after engine shutdown, Ultimately, this. may decrease the eficiency of the engine and/or cause other undesireable effets, 10003] Accordingly, itis desirable to provide a device that allows the engine to cool substantially evenly and to avoid substantial temperature gradients, Is also desirable that the ‘device be lightweight and compact. Other desirable features and characteristics of the present disclosure will become apparent from the subsequent detailed! description and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the aecompa- nying drawings andthe foregoing technical field and back- round BRIEF SUMMARY. [0004] Inoue embodiment, an aie turbine starter fora main ‘engine includes suppor strcture and an airflow passage ‘extending at lest partially through the support structure ‘The air turbine starter also includes a turbine that is sup- ported by the support structure for rotation relative to the suppor structure. The turbine is configured to be driven in rotation due to air Nvving through the aielow passage. The sir turbine starter additionally includes a gear train that is ‘operably coupled tothe urine and configured for receiving turbine torque input from the turbine, The plurality of gears includes an integrated input gear. The air turbine starter futher includes an output member that is supported by the support structure for rotation relative to the support struc- ture. The output member is operably coupled to the gear train and a main engine input member. The output member is configured to transfer torque from the gear tain to the rain engine input member. Additionally, the air turbine starter includes a motor system that is supported by the support structure, The motor system ineludes a motor and ‘motor output gear. The motor output gear is configured to ‘engage the integrated input gear for selectively delivering motor torgue from the motor 10 the integrated input gear such that the motor torgue is transferred to the output member and delivered to the main engine input member. 10005] In another embodiment, an engine system includes tn engine and an air turbine starter that includes a ear train that i operably coupled to the engine, The gear train includes an input gear. The air turbine starter is configured to receive input aig, and he input gear is configured to rotate a5 result of the flow ofthe input air to move at Jeast one part of the engine, The engine system further includes Feb. 1, 2018 ‘motor and a motor output gear that is rotated by the motor. ‘The motor and motor output gear are configured to selec- tively drive and rotate the input gear of the gear tain to ‘move the atleast one part of the engine.
