## Overview
This project focuses on the design of an accessory drive gearbox for a commercial aircraft, mounted below the jet engine compressor case. The gearbox drives essential components such as the engine fuel pump, oil pump, hydraulic pump, and electrical generator. It is powered by a drive shaft connected to the engine compressor spool through a compressor power transfer shaft.

</p>
Key considerations for the design include:
- Packaging constraints and weight limitations (maximum weight: 260 lbf).
- Durability under moderate shock loading.
- Operational reliability at temperatures below 250°F.
The final design ensures a cost-efficient and functional solution for aircraft accessory drives, meeting all specified requirements and performance standards.

## Design Requirements
The accessory gearbox must satisfy the following criteria:
- **Material and Geometry**:
- Gears: Spur or helical with a 20° pressure angle.
- Shafts: AISI 4140 Q&T steel for high strength and fatigue resistance.
- Components: Mounted with specific torque and speed tolerances.
- **Loading and Safety Factors**:
- Minimum design factor of 1.15 for contact stresses.
- Minimum design factor of 1.3 for gear bending stresses.
- Service life equivalent to \(10^8\) cycles.
- **Operational Parameters**:
- Uniform power distribution and moderate shock loading.
- Precision manufacturing (No. 10 quality standard).
- High reliability (98%).

## Key Design Features
1. **Gear Train Design**:
- Consists of 19 spur gears with uncrowned teeth.
- Designed to transmit torque and speed with minimal loss.
- Manufactured from annealed 31CrMoV9 steel at 400°F for wear resistance.
2. **Shafts**:
- Total of 11 shafts, including the accessory drive and four component shafts.
- Optimized dimensions for strength and alignment.
- Bearings and retaining rings ensure proper positioning and durability.
3. **Component Mounting**:
- Oil pump, fuel pump, hydraulic pump, and electrical generator mounted to the gearbox housing.
- Secure attachment with machined aluminum support fittings.

## Analysis and Calculations
The project involved comprehensive analysis using:
- **Gear Analysis**:
- Calculated bending and contact stresses using AGMA standards.
- Safety factors for gears: 1.15-1.10 (Yield Design Factor) | 1.3 (bending) | 1.15 (contact).
