A method of manufacturing a mistuned rotor includes: obtaining a rotor 12 having a hub 22 and a plurality of blades 24 protruding from the hub 22, the plurality of blades 24 including first blades 28 and second blades 30 disposed in alternation around a central axis 11 of the rotor 12, natural vibration frequencies of the first blades 28 different from natural vibration frequencies of the second blades 30; determining that a difference between a first natural vibration frequency of a first blade 28 of the first blades and a second natural vibration frequency of a second blade 30 of the second blades is below a threshold L; and modifying a shape of the first blade 28 until the difference between the first natural vibration frequency and the second natural vibration frequency is at or above the threshold L.

A rotary airfoil (20) in a gas turbine engine is provided. The airfoil (20) includes opposed pressure and suction sides (32, 34) joined together at chordally opposite leading and trailing edges (36, 38). The pressure and suction sides (32, 34) extend in a span direction from a root (25) to a tip (27). An axial component of a center of gravity of a cross-section taken chordally toward the tip (27) of the airfoil (20) is being upstream relative to an axial component of a center of gravity of a cross-section taken chordally toward the root (25) of the airfoil (20). A method for forming such blade is also presented.

A diffuser pipe assembly (20) for a compressor (14b) of a gas turbine engine (10) includes diffuser pipes (22) circumferentially distributed around a central axis (A) and configured for distributing a flow of compressed air from the compressor (14b) to the combustor (16). Each of the diffuser pipes (22) curves between an inlet end (22e) and an outlet end (22f). A first subset of the diffuser pipes (221) has a natural vibration frequency different than a natural vibration frequency of at least a second subset of the diffuser pipes (222). A method of operating a compressor (14b) including the diffuser pipe assembly (20) is also disclosed.

An aircraft engine, has: an upstream stator (30) having upstream stator vanes (31) circumferentially distributed about a central axis; and a downstream stator (40) having downstream stator vanes (41; 42, 43) circumferentially distributed about the central axis, the downstream stator (40) located downstream of the upstream stator (30) relative to an airflow flowing within a core gaspath of the aircraft engine, a number of the upstream stator vanes (31) being different than a number of the downstream stator vanes (41; 42, 43), the downstream stator vanes (41; 42, 43) including: a first vane (42) made of a first material, a major portion of a leading edge (41A) of the first vane (42) circumferentially overlapped by one of the upstream stator vanes (31), and a second vane (43) made of a second material having a greater stiffness, strength, and/or ductility than that of the first material, a major portion of a leading edge of the second vane (43) exposed via a spacing (32) defined between two of the upstream stator vanes (31).

摘要:
An airfoil (26) in a gas turbine engine includes opposed pressure and suction sides (32, 34) joined together at chordally opposite leading and trailing edges (36, 38). The pressure and suction sides (32, 34) extend spanwise from a root (25) to a tip (27) of the airfoil (26). The airfoil (26) has a spanwise distribution of maximum thicknesses of chordwise cross-sections of the airfoil (26). The spanwise distribution of maximum thicknesses decreases from the root (25) to the tip (27). The spanwise distribution is stepped between a first portion (P1) extending from the root (25) and a second portion (P2) extending to the tip (27).
摘要:
A compressor rotor airfoil (20) in a gas turbine engine is presented. Opposed pressure and suction sides (32,34) are joined together at chordally opposite leading and trailing edges (36,38). The pressure and suction sides (32,34) extend in a span direction from a root (25) to a tip (27). A leading edge dihedral angle (β) is defined at a point on the leading edge (36) between a tangent (T) to the airfoil (20) and a vertical (V). The leading edge dihedral angle (β) has a span-wise distribution. The distribution has at least one inflection point. A method of reducing a rub angle between a compressor rotor blade and a casing surrounding the blade is also presented.
