    摘要: Various methods and assemblies are provided for producing composite components (90) having formed in features. For example, a method may comprise depositing a composite material (102) on a base tool (100,200,300) (100); bringing a feature forming tool (110,210,310,410,510) (110) into contact with the composite material (102); and processing the composite material (102) with the feature forming tool (110,210,310,410,510) in contact with the composite material (102). The processed composite material (102) forms a green state composite component. The feature forming tool (110,210,310,410,510) (110) comprises a sheet (112) having one or more elements for interacting with one or more elements of the base tool (100,200,300) to form one or more features of the composite component (90). In some embodiments, the method also may comprise sealing (708,1208,1510,1710) a bag (125) around the feature forming tool (110,210,310,410,510) (110) and the composite material (102) after bringing the tool into contact with the composite material (102) and removing (712,912,1212,1514,1714) the bag (125) and the feature forming tool (110,210,310,410,510) from the green state composite component after processing.

    摘要: An aircraft gas turbine engine (10) includes a compressor system comprising a low pressure compressor (15) coupled to a low pressure shaft (23), and a high pressure compressor (16) coupled to a high pressure shaft (24). The engine includes an inner core casing (34) provided radially inwardly of compressor blades (42) of the compressor system, and an outer core casing arrangement provided radially outwardly of compressor blades (42) of the compressor system, the inner core casing and outer core casing arrangement defining a core working gas flow path (B) therebetween. The engine also includes a fan (13) coupled to the low pressure shaft (23) via a reduction gearbox (14); the outer core casing arrangement comprising a first outer core casing (48) and a second outer core casing (50) spaced radially outwardly from the first outer core casing (48). At an axial plane (E) of an inlet to the high pressure compressor (16), the second outer core casing (50) has an inner radius at least 1.4 times the inner radius of the first outer core casing (48).
