摘要:
A fan outlet guide vane for a gas turbine engine comprises a generally radially-extending internal structural member and at least one surface member securable in use to the internal structural member so as to define an aerofoil. The gas turbine engine includes an annular first structure and an annular second structure, the second structure being radially outward of the first structure so as to define a duct between them, and in use the internal structural member of the vane is secured between the first structure and the second structure. In a preferred embodiment, the surface member or surface members are secured only to the internal structural member, and not to the first or second structures.

A gas turbine engine (10) is disclosed having a turbine (16), one or more hydrocarbon gas combustors (34), and a compressor (12). The compressor (12) has a rotor assembly with one or more rotor blade rows (18) extending radially outward from an inner wheel disk (54). The compressor (12) also has a stator assembly with one or more stator vane rows (24) extending radially inward from an inner casing (46) and positioned between adjacent rotor blade rows (18). The inner casing (46) extends circumferentially around the rotor assembly and is constructed from at least one low-alpha metal alloy.

A gas turbine engine (20) includes a fan (42), a turbine section (28) having a fan drive turbine rotor (46), and a compressor rotor (44). A gear reduction (48) effects a reduction in a speed of the fan (42) relative to an input speed from the fan drive turbine rotor (46). The compressor rotor (44) has a number of compressor blades in at least half of a plurality of blade rows of the compressor rotor (44). The blades are configured to operate at least some of the time at a rotational speed. The number of compressor blades in the at least half of the blade rows and the rotational speed is such that the following formula holds true for each row of the at least half of the blade rows of the compressor rotor (44): (the number of blades × the rotational speed) / 60s ≥ about 5500 Hz.

A method of controlling a variable vane assembly includes the steps of sensing a first angular deflection of a first array of variable vanes about a first vane axis, and a second angular deflection of a second array of variable vanes about a second vane axis, the first array of variable vanes axially spaced from the second array of variable vanes, and adjusting the angular deflection of one of the first and second arrays of variable vanes, based on the sensed angular deflections from the other of the first and second arrays of variable vanes. A compressor including the variable vane assembly and a method of operating the variable vane assembly for a compressor are also disclosed.

A compressor assembly of a gas turbine engine includes a case including at least one opening and a stator assembly supported within the case. A lug assembly is secured to the case and sets a position of the stator assembly relative to the case. The lug assembly includes a lug engaging the stator assembly and a boss extending from the lug through the opening in the case. The boss including a threaded hole receiving a threaded member holding the lug assembly to the case and defines a seat for the threaded member that is spaced apart from an outer surface of the case.

The invention relates to a compressor for a turbine engine, comprising: a casing, at least one compressor stage formed by an impeller having stationary blades and an impeller having moving blades (1) positioned downstream of the stationary blade impeller, and cavities (5) in the thickness of the casing that are disposed along a circumference of said casing (4) opposite the moving blades (1). The cavities, which are elongate and extend along a main direction of orientation, are closed upstream and downstream by upstream and downstream faces respectively, and an upstream border (7) and a downstream border (6) are formed at the intersections between same and the casing. The cavities are offset in relation to the moving blades (1) such as to overlap the moving blade impeller in the upstream portion, thereby covering the upstream end thereof. The casing is characterised in that the downstream border (6) of the cavities (5) is oriented parallel to the chord at the head of the moving blade (1).
