摘要:
A gas turbine engine includes, among other things, a fan section including a fan rotor, a gear train defined about an engine axis of rotation, a high spool, and a low spool including a low pressure turbine that drives the fan rotor through the gear train. A static structure includes a first engine mount location and a second engine mount location.
摘要:
A buffer air pump provides pressurized cooling air for cooling components of the gas turbine engine. The buffer air pump is supported on and/or within an accessory gearbox and draws bypass air in through an inlet manifold. An impeller supported within a scroll housing pressurizes the incoming bypass air and directs the pressurized air through passages to a component requiring cooling. The buffer air pump draws in relatively cool air from the bypass flow, pressurizes the air with the impeller and sends the air through conduits and passages within the gas turbine engine to the component that requires cooling such as a bearing assembly.
摘要:
A rotor for a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of blades which extend from a rotor disk and at least one spacer adjacent to the plurality of blades. A flow passage is defined between the rotor disk and the blades and spacer. A plurality of inlets are formed within the spacer to pump air into the flow passage.
摘要:
A rotor disk for a gas turbine engine includes a CMC hub and a rail integrated with the CMC hub opposite the multiple of CMC airfoils, the rail defines a rail platform section that tapers to a rail inner bore.
摘要:
A thermal management system includes at least one heat exchanger in communication with a bypass flow of a gas turbine engine. The placement of the heat exchanger(s) minimizes weight and aerodynamic losses and contributes to overall performance increase over traditional ducted heat exchanger placement schemes.
摘要:
An engine includes a duct containing a flow of cool air and a pump system for providing air to an environmental control system. The pump system has an impeller having an inlet for receiving cool air from the duct and an outlet for discharging air to the environmental control system.
