    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a gas turbine engine 10 including a turbine section 90 including a first rotating component 110 interdigitated along a longitudinal direction with a second rotating component 120. The first rotating component 110 and the second rotating component 120 are each coupled to a speed reduction assembly 45 in counter-rotating arrangement. The first rotating component 110 comprising an outer shroud 114 and a plurality of outer shroud airfoils 118 extended inward along a radial direction from the outer shroud (114). A connecting member 116 couples the outer shroud 114 to a radially extended first rotor 113. The second rotating component 120 comprising an inner shroud (112) and a plurality of inner shroud airfoils 119 extended outward along the radial direction from the inner shroud 112, the plurality of inner shroud airfoils 119 in alternating arrangement along the longitudinal direction with the plurality of outer shroud airfoils 118. The gas turbine engine 10 defines a radius per unit thrust defined by a maximum radius (RR) at the turbine section 90 over a maximum thrust output between approximately .0004 to approximately .0010 inches per pound thrust.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a rotor thrust balanced turbine engine (10) that may increase engine performance and efficiency while managing thrust mismatch or imbalance in a low pressure (LP) spool between a fan assembly and a turbine rotor assembly (20). The gas turbine engine (10) defines a radial direction, a longitudinal direction, and a circumferential direction, an upstream end (99) and a downstream end (98) along the longitudinal direction, and an axial centerline (15) extended along the longitudinal direction. The gas turbine engine (10) includes a turbine rotor assembly (20) and a turbine frame (30). The turbine rotor assembly (20) defines a first flowpath radius (11) and a second flowpath radius (12) each extended from the axial centerline (15). The first flowpath radius (11) is disposed at the upstream end (99) of the turbine rotor assembly (20), and wherein the second flowpath radius (12) is disposed at the downstream end (98) of the turbine rotor assembly (20). The turbine frame (30) and the turbine rotor assembly (20) together define a seal interface radius (25) inward of the turbine rotor assembly (20) along the radial direction and concentric to the axial centerline (15), and wherein the turbine rotor assembly (20) defines a ratio of the first flowpath radius (11) to the seal interface radius (25) less than or equal to approximately 1.79.
