Our project concerns with modification of quill shaft in turbo jet engine operating from a remote grou1nd station through tele command. Turbo jet engines are gas engine with nozzle at the end to obtain thrust by expanding exhaust gases. Turbo jet engines revolutionized air travel by reducing expenses, decreasing maintenance, increasing safety, increasing cruise velocities and higher ranges. Quill shaft is a component used in the turbojet engine (PTAE-7) to transfer power from the alternator to the engine shaft produced by the HAL. And also the quill shaft is used to save the engine and the alternator in case of any excessive power. The quill shaft presently produced by HAL have some errors like tapered teeths of gear, tooth parallelism error, chattering marks on splines, bending of shaft etc. In order to increase the efficiency of the engine we are doing some changes in the manufacturing processes of quill shaft so that the errors can be rectified. Our project aims at producing quill shaft which have proper tooth profile with perfect addendum and dedendum and proper splines to mate perfectly with main shaft.
